As sit-down restaurants throughout the country began closing their doors last Spring and the pandemic’s grim toll on the hospitality industry became evident, many establishments began leaning into takeout and delivery. For many of the fine-dining places, creating meals and even mixology kits to be consumed at home—something previously inconceivable—became essential for survival.
Many of the remaining in-door dining establishments have worked out a plan to turn their restaurants into now-essential carry-out places, whether they are running a beloved local joint or a Michelin-starred restaurant. After all, the appetite for restaurant and fast food is still here. Those meals just needed to be consumed at home or in the car.
Deploying effective signage is essential for business to communicate to customers to practice safe pedestrian and traffic patterns. Minimizing the confusion of new dining protocols while protecting customers and employees.
DRIVE-THRUS ARE RE-THINKING THEIR DESIGN
With drive-thru traffic increasing in the double-digits over the last year, many fast-food chains have developed new operating systems and even the building designs that better streamline the ordering experience.
In the fast-food industry, “fast” is the optimum goal. Reducing wait time and improving throughput increases customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. Many brands plan to improve capacity long term by transitioning from single to double drive-thru lanes, and sometimes more if the space allows.
Some franchises have shifted labor that would have been devoted to the dining room to the drive-thru, creating more checks and balances to ensure accuracy. Unfortunately, if you don’t have clear signage to convey to your clientele the proper traffic patterns, no amount of multiple drive-thru lanes and additional outdoor staff will be effective.
ParkingZone has many message sign options for communicating your proper traffic patterns to your customers that will eliminate any confusion concerning how to place and/or pick-up their orders. Because they love your food and want to enjoy it as effortlessly and as quickly as possible.
