A friend works at this Chick-Fil-A. This location will be closed for approximately 4 weeks. They're including a double drive thru in the reno.
I wonder what the drive thru of the second lane will be like. I doubt putting a chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and a drink in a carrier through the tube would be clean and practical.

McDonald's has one and one-half drive thru lanes at its locations. I guess to complete the remaining one-half of the second drive thru lane, burgers, fries, and drinks are placed in a t-shirt launcher. The launcher is aimed at my vehicle and goes off. Burgers, fries, and drink hit my car and leave a mess.
It must be a bad decision on a business to have one-half of a lane for ordering, but not complete it with a window to accept payment for the order and deliver it to the customer. "Let us waste money and product making something we are not getting paid for," is not a wise business concept.
It works well at the location on Woodruff Rd. The bottleneck at many drive thrus is ordering, people don't know what they want, have a huge order etc. Taking two orders at once reduces that wait. It also allows more cars to get in line without blocking the flow in the parking lot or even out onto the street.
The location is Raleigh is cool and all, buts its footprint is massive. Far too large to implement at Fairview Rd.

The Cherrydale location just reconfigured to 2 pickup lanes. Haven't seen it work at busy times but I guess it consist of a live human being outside actually carhopping the food to the second pickup lane.
Some Hardees locations had that door in the Drive thru where employee could come out and take money/deliver food to the cars behind the waiting car.

Long John Silver's/A&W #8188 closing would be a surprise. It is constantly busy during the day. This is one of three Long John Silver's/A&W locations remaining in Greenville County.
I ate here last week. The food was delicious and the price was reasonable. Having a seafood quick service restaurant is a good option.
If Captain D's is looking to re-enter Greenville County, Long John Silver's should be looking at options to grow with additional locations also.
