Sprint-Thru™ Self Pickup
Sprint-Thru™ eliminates drive-thru bottlenecks, pickup queues, and pickup and delivery

and zero-contact pickup.
Sprint-Thru™ can be used by mobile order buyers, delivery persons and walk-in and drive-in customers.

from single driveways, instead of placing a single drive-thru window in each drive-thru lane.

Since Sprint-Thru™ can reduce the wait time significantly, the Traffic Jam and

Since Sprint-Thru™ does not use speakers to take orders noise will be reduced.
Regulatory agencies may take into consideration of Sprint-Thru™ benefits, and
may allow more Sprint-Thru™ locations.

The annual QSR Drive-Thru Study released for the last 20 years is well recognized in the industry. The QSR Drive-Thru Study 2025 conducted by QSR Magazine in partnership with Intouch Insight using mystery shoppers and sample locations primarily focused on the following touch points which are used in comparing drive-thru and Sprint-Thru™ for this time study:

Sprint-Thru™ Projected Details:
Total Time:
Fastest:
Order Ahead Customers and Delivery Persons whose
orders are ready when they arrive can pick up in 30.00. The
total time will be 30.00.
Slowest:
Order Now Customers can place orders within 30.00,
wait for Order Preparaton and pick up in 30.00. The total
time will be Order Preparation Time plus 60.00
Order Accuracy:
Always will be 100%.
Customers take the responsibility for entering the orders.
Suggestive Selling:
Always will be 100%.
Customers are directed to online ordering systems through
a QR Code.
Online ordering systems can access customer profile, past orders
and current orders to
provide meaningful suggestions.
Food Quality:
Always will be 100%.
Vehicle ordering and waiting areas are far away from
order pickup stations.
When order pickup stations with transporters are used the
order drop-off points (accessibe from preparation area) and order
pick-up points (accessible from parking lot)are far away from
each order.
Vehicle pollutants will not enter into order preparation areas.
Prepared food will always be fresh, because orders will never stay
inside the lockers for more than one or two minutes.
