Study Ranks Drive Thru Wait Times – See How Long Your Fav Takes

Is it just me or do drive-thrus sometimes end up taking WAY more time than just going inside?

Yesterday I got Chick-fil-A and I went through the drive thru to save time. I opened the bag and my order was wrong. So I had to pull around, go inside, and get my correct order. I got a new bag of food, and headed on my way again only to have to turn around because they forgot the best part, the sauce.

Moral of the story, drive-thrus aren't as convenient as we think they are. And Chick-fil-A was actually ranked as having the longest wait time. Here's the whole list from slowest to fastest according to the 2019 QSR study -

• Chick-fil-A - Wait time: 322.98 seconds
• McDonald's - Wait time: 284.05 seconds
• Hardee's - Wait time: 266.34 seconds
• Arby's - Wait time: 263.46 seconds
• KFC - Wait time: 243.73 seconds
• Carl's Jr. - Wait time: 240.51 seconds
• Taco Bell - Wait time: 240.38 seconds
• Burger King - Wait time: 235.48 seconds
• Wendy's - Wait time: 230.38 seconds
• Dunkin' - Wait time: 216.75 seconds

So looks like either way I would've had a bit of a wait at Chick-fil-A.
