How long are your guests really waiting?
Most stores know their sales per hour, but not how long a car sat in line or how many minutes passed between ordering and food in hand.
A drive thru timer system that times every car at each station in your lane, from the menu board right through to the pickup window.
The dashboard shows how quickly each store serves its cars, which station slows the lane and which hours are busiest. Drive thru speed of service appears in seconds against your goal, and you can open any number to see the cars behind it. Hover the markers to explore.
Most stores know their sales per hour, but not how long a car sat in line or how many minutes passed between ordering and food in hand.
When the line backs up at lunch, sales reports can't tell you whether the delay started at the menu board, the pay window or pickup.
Daily car counts and rush hours are often guessed. And a headset timer never sees the cars that leave the line before they reach it.
Cameras covering your lane feed an on-site unit that times every car. Only the timings go to the cloud, so your crew and head office see the same numbers.
Every car gets a lane time, from the menu board to pickup, set against your goal.
Each station is timed on its own, so the one running over its goal stands out.
Car counts by hour and day for every store, plus the cars that left without ordering.
Drive-Thru is part of StorePulse, so your team works with the same header, store selector, exports and alerts it already knows, with no new tool to learn.
Each car is timed at the menu board, in the line, at the pay window and at pickup, then given a lane total.
Every insight is built on real activity in your lane, so your team can trust what it sees and act on it with confidence.
Lane times by hour, day and shift, so you can see whether delays follow the rush or the roster.
Rank all your locations by lane total, seconds against goal or slowest station, then open any store with one click.
No two lots are the same. Drive-Thru is configured to your lane layout at setup, so every station and goal matches how your drive-thru runs.
One menu board, one line and the windows that follow. Every station is timed against the goals your brand sets, and franchisees can make them tighter.
Two ordering points that merge into one line. Each menu board is timed on its own, so you can see which side is slowing the cars behind it.
Two lanes running side by side, each with its own times and its own slowest station, so a slow lane never hides behind a faster one.
Two handoff points at the end of the lane. Each one is timed against its own goal, so you can see which window is holding up the line.
Drive-Thru is software from Transline Technologies that times every car through your drive-thru lane. It covers the menu board, the line, the pay window and pickup, and shows every location on one online dashboard. It works as part of StorePulse, so teams already using StorePulse will find the same layout, exports and alerts.
Yes. Drive-Thru works with ANPR and LPR cameras placed to cover each station of your lane, and our team confirms the right setup for your lot. The cameras connect to a small on-site unit on your store network, with no loops or digging in the lane surface. Camera zones are then set up and checked before anything goes live.
Not to get started. Lane times, car counts and line length all come from the cameras, so no POS link is needed for them. Sales, ticket values and revenue do need your POS connected. That can be switched on later, as Drive-Thru does not report sales on its own.
Each station gets its own zone at setup: menu board, waiting in line, pay window and pickup window. Drive-Thru times every car through each zone and adds them into a total lane time. Before any numbers go live, each store runs for 48 hours next to your current timer or POS, and you see how closely they agree.
No. Video is processed on site over your own store network and stays in the building. Only times, counts and lane events go to the online dashboard, so your team gets every number it needs without footage ever being streamed offsite.
Many lane timers rely on sensors or loops set into the ground, which only mark when a car passes a fixed point. Drive-Thru uses camera intelligence instead, so it times every station, counts the line on the lot and sees cars that leave before ordering, with nothing installed in the lane surface.
Operations leaders check whether every store is hitting its service goal. Regional and district managers decide which store to visit and what to fix. Franchisees compare their lanes with the brand, and analysts export the numbers. Your crew gets a separate live screen in the store, made for acting in the moment.
