Frequently Asked Questions
What technology makes up a modern drive-thru system?
While every restaurant has a unique footprint, most professional setups include a base station, wireless headsets for the staff, and an outdoor speaker post. Many local operators also add digital order confirmation screens and service timers to further reduce errors and track peak-hour performance.
What matters most to my customers in the drive-thru?
Speed, accuracy, and clarity are the top three priorities. According to our 2025 survey, 47% of customers cite “unclear speakers” as a major frustration. Investing in high-quality audio prevents the “repeating the order” cycle, which improves both speed and customer satisfaction.
Is this equipment easy for my staff to learn?
Yes. Our systems are designed for intuitive, “plug-and-play” use. Lightweight headsets and simple base station interfaces mean your team can spend less time fiddling with tech and more time focusing on food quality and fast service.
Can I upgrade my existing drive-thru system without a full renovation?
Yes. In many cases, we can integrate new, high-clarity headsets or updated speaker posts into your current layout. We specialize in helping SMBs modernize their technology incrementally to stay within budget while significantly improving service quality.
How do wireless headsets help my internal team?
Professional wireless headsets do more than just facilitate orders; they allow your entire team to communicate hands-free. This improves kitchen coordination and allows staff to multitask—such as prepping orders while answering customer questions—which is essential for smaller teams.
