Quick-Service Brands Embrace Drive-Thru Centric Units to Meet Customer Demand (Read Here)

Shifting Focus: Restaurants are increasingly prioritizing drive-thru and pickup options to meet customers where they are and improve operational efficiency. This approach is driven by factors like higher costs and the sustained popularity of off-premises dining.

Efficiency and Flexibility: Drive-thru-centric units offer several benefits, including smaller footprints, improved speed of service, and cost savings. These concepts can be implemented in urban areas with high real estate costs and serve as fill-in locations between regular restaurants.

💰 THE MONEY SHOT

Driving Success: Successful drive-thru-centric prototypes have demonstrated the potential for profitability and customer satisfaction. Brands like Jack in the Box, Del Taco, Captain D's, Biscuitville, and Portillo's are strategically experimenting with drive-thru-focused units to optimize performance, reduce costs, and cater to the growing demand for off-premises dining.

CHICKEN SAMMIE

Popeyes Overtakes KFC as the No. 2 Chicken Chain in the U.S. (Read Here)

Bicken Wars: Popeyes has surpassed KFC to become the second-largest chicken chain in the United States, following behind only Chick-fil-A. The chicken sandwich wars and the success of Popeyes' blockbuster menu item have contributed to this shift in the market.

Chick-fil-A's dominance: Chick-fil-A continues to hold the top spot in the chicken chain industry, with its market share expanding to 45.5% from 38.3%. The chain's exceptional customer service, limited menu, and efficient drive-thru lanes have been credited for its ongoing success.

💰 THE MONEY SHOT

KFC's decline: KFC's U.S. market share has dropped significantly in the past year, falling from 16.1% to 11.3%. The chain has struggled to keep up with the competition, taking a long time to respond to Popeyes' popular chicken sandwich.
