We are think about expanding our operations and doing a drive thru coffee kiosk. 10'x20' or 10'x30'. All the other ones I have seen are set up so drivers can approach from either direction and order at both windows. Given that we would only have one espresso machine in the unit, it seems like it would be faster and more efficient if they ordered at one window, then drove around to the other window to pick up. When its busy, One barista is cranking out the drinks, cashier is taking orders, and if it is busy enough, a third person doing frappes and smoothies. When it is slow, drivers order and pick up at the "pick-up" window.
Another, more costly route would be to have a telecom system, like a regular fats food drive thru.
Does any one out there have experience with this set-up.
Thanks in advance for your help and opinions.
