Moving drive-thrus enhance the convenience of this already simple model

Implications - The standard drive-thru already involves mobility on the part of the consumer, but its convenience is being elevated even further with a new model of drive-thru that in itself, is mobile. These designs not only enhance accessibility to a brand’s food products, but offer a layer of customization in service that the fast food industry tends to lack.
Workshop Question - How can your brand elevate convenience and customization in the products/services it offers?

3. Mobile Curbside Delivery Apps - The FlyBuy app, a mobile curbside delivery app designed for restaurants not equipped for drive-thrus, is aiding in virtual drive-thru convenience for consumers.
Industry Implications
