Pokeworks is announcing the first-ever Cruise-Thru Lane as an innovative new mobile order pick-up lane to support guests on the go. With this new way to pick up meals from the poke brand, customers benefit from being able order ahead and pick up their meals without having to leave their vehicle. Pokeworks notes that the "Cruise-Thru Lane is not the traditional drive-thru model, but rather the authentic design, which pays tribute to the brand's Hawaiian-inspired roots."
To serve convenience-driven consumers, Pokeworks is debuting the first Cruise-Thru Lane in Knoxville, Tennessee in the spring and plans to implement the concept in suburban areas to support the changing ways that people are ordering and picking up their food in a safe way with minimal contact during the pandemic and beyond.
