In response to changing consumer behaviors, needs and preferences, prototype restaurants of all sorts are popping up and among them, Wingstop's "restaurant of the future." Situated on Lovers Lane in Dallas, this location is cashless, digitally focused and optimized for carryout guests and delivery drivers. Due to the nature of this restaurant, Wingstop is able to rapidly test new equipment and layouts and this location will fulfill its duty as an "innovation lab for unlimited flavor possibilities and enhanced guest experiences."
The delivery and carryout-only format comes in at just 1,300 square feet, which is almost 400 square feet less than Wingstop's average footprint. This prototype restaurant will help to provide the blueprint for future ideas from Wingstop.
