Taking care of drive-thru maintenance in QSRs

As the end-of-year busy season approaches, with a spike in customers during the school and festive holiday season, it’s crucial that your quick-service restaurant (QSR) runs like a well-oiled machine—especially your drive-thru. When your drive-thru technology stalls, the ripple effect goes beyond the tech itself. It’s about downtime, disruption and dreaded impact on your operation’s flow.

When there’s a snag in the system, the cost spans beyond monetary terms – it impacts valuable time lost, the revenue that could have been and the customer satisfaction that’s at the core of your business. When convenience is king, any hiccup that slows down your service could send your customers to the competitor down the street.

The consequences extend beyond the urgent, visible breakdowns. Even the smallest technical glitch can accumulate silently, escalating stress for your team as they juggle customer interactions with uncooperative tech. This not only strains your operations but can potentially dent your staff’s morale and your QSR’s reputation for quick and reliable service.

As we gear up for the busiest time of the year in the QSR industry, there’s no better moment to proactively check the pulse of your drive-thru technology. Summit Innovations is rolling out the System Health Check Program to our Australian partners and customers, aiming to ensure your tech is not a point of stress but a streamlined tool for success.

With the new System Health Check Program, a skilled technician will carry out regular visits to your location, ensuring your systems are performing at their peak. It’s not just about avoiding the unexpected costs of repairs but eliminating downtime and maintaining a seamless operation that keeps your customers coming back for the convenience they love and expect.

As we near the festive season, remember that preventive care for your drive-thru tech isn’t just a maintenance routine—it’s an investment in uninterrupted service, customer satisfaction, and ultimately, your QSR’s end-of-year performance.

  • Verification of timer software settings
