Chick-fil-A's first elevated drive-thru restaurant opens

Today marks the official opening of Chick-fil-A’s first-ever elevated drive-thru restaurant in Georgia.

The popular Atlanta-based fast-food chain built the restaurant in McDonough so that its super-sized kitchen sits above a set of four drive-thru lanes, according to a press release.

The test concept restaurant, selling Chick-fil-A from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day of the week except Sunday, is designed to focus on drive-thru, with no dining room available.

Chick-fil-A said it utilizes a "sophisticated conveyor belt system that streamlines food delivery by quickly moving the meal from the elevated kitchen above to a Team Member on the ground below." It can bring the food down every six seconds, according to the fast-food chain.

"Guests will continue to get the service and care that they know and love through an easy, drive-thru focused experience," Chick-fil-A said.

At the elevated drive-thru location, Chick-fil-A customers can use the Chick-fil-A app to order their food ahead of time or tell a Chick-fil-A worker at the drive-thru lane what they want when they arrive, according to the company.

With those two options, the fast-food chain built the location to have both Mobile Thru lanes and traditional lanes.

Two to three times as many vehicles can go through the elevated drive-thru restaurant, per Chick-fil-A.

The chain said it is seeking to "increase speed-of-service and simplify the drive-thru experience for Guests" with its overall design for the elevated drive-thru location.

Plans for the drive-thru-focused test restaurant were first announced about thirteen months ago, as previously reported by Fox News Digital. Chick-fil-A simultaneously outlined another design geared solely toward delivery and mobile pickup orders. 

That other test restaurant made its official debut in Manhattan in March.

Chick-fil-A has said both are meant to cater to the fast-food chain’s "on-the-go Guest" amid a rise in popularity for digital methods of ordering.
