This Is The Fastest Drive-Thru In Illinois
In today's world we are all in a hurry. That extra five minutes really does mean a lot. So it brings up the question... what is the fastest drive-thru in Illinois?
The Speed Findings
While I don't think the list is wrong (I mean they have the numbers to back it up.) I do think it could be misleading, these numbers are the averages of your wait time...
The Slowest Drive-Thru is Chick-fil-A.
According to industry publication QSR magazine's Drive-thru Report, Chick-fil-A has the slowest drive-thru time of 10 popular restaurants, at 325 seconds, or about 5 1/2 minutes, on average. Wendy's, whose founder Dave Thomas is credited with pioneering the drive-thru concept, was also among the slowest of the restaurants surveyed at 275 seconds, or almost 5 minutes.
The Fastest Drive-thru Taco Bell
When asked what the top two reasons they choose to order using the drive-thru were, per this year’s study, guests picked “Convenience” and “Speed of Service.
Apparently this speed is found in Taco Bell
In order from fastest to slowest drive-thru:
- Taco Bell completes customer drive-thru orders in 222 seconds
- Dunkin' completes customer drive-thru orders in 238 seconds
- KFC completes customer drive-thru orders in 239 seconds
- Arby's completes customer drive-thru orders in 261 seconds
- Burger King completes customer drive-thru orders in 266 seconds
- Hardee's completes customer drive-thru orders in 272 seconds
- Wendy's completes customer drive-thru orders in 275 seconds
- Mcdonald's completes customer drive-thru orders in 291 seconds
- Chick-fil-A completes customer drive-thru orders in 325 seconds
It should be noted that The study should have looked at how many cars are served an hour rather than the wait time at a certain time. I believe with all my heart that Chick-fil-A moves its people along faster. That line is ALWAYS moving, and they are so friendly and professional.
Personal from my own experience I believe these findings aren't correct. What do you think?
