Drive Thru HOT usage procedures
Refer to the HOT Training Supplement May 2003.
Drive Thru Security
Keep window closed at all times and locked when booth is unattended.
Treat anyone walking through the drive thru as suspicious. Keep window closed and locked. If they want to place an order advise and/or indicate they need to go to Front Counter. Do not open window. Call Manager via headset.
Drive Thru external menu board rotation procedures
To rotate an external drive thru menu board, release the rotation lock first and then rotate the menuboard cabinet. The cabinet should rotate 180˚ and stop. If the cabinet rotates more than 180˚ (half a circle), notify a manager immediately.
Grill Orders in the Drive Thru
Follow up with the production caller (via the headset) to ensure a quick response. Our system can prepare grills quickly.
Soft Serve Desserts in a parked order
The correct procedure for handling cones and sundaes with parked orders is that they will be made up and taken out with the complete order, unless otherwise requested by the customer.
Tandem Face to Face Drive Thru Primary Order Taker Cashier Booth 2 Secondary Order Taker Cashier Booth 1
If in Tandem mode, the Secondary order taker in Booth 1 should be sending the customer forward to Booth 2 to place their order.
The Primary Order take in Booth 2 should assist by identifying, making eye contact and beckoning the customer to their booth.
Parking Cars
It is recommended to park cars if the order will not be ready to present within 10 to 15 seconds of the car arriving at the presenter’s booth and the next order is ready to be presented. The car should be parked immediately.
Parked orders should be delivered by someone other than a member of the drive thru team eg. the Service Manager, the Shift Manager or a designated team member. Be careful of moving traffic.
Products unavailable
Pre-assembly causes food to deteriorate in quality. If service slows down because fries or other products are not available, immediately tell the Shift Manager.
Receipts
Receipts must be handed out with every drive-thru order. Check that there is enough paper in the printer and you know how to refill paper when required.

Never reuse or resell any items from returned orders, even if it looks like the item hasn’t been opened.
Bagging Drive Thru Take Away Orders
The objective when bagging is to ensure quality product is delivered to the customer in the appropriate size bag. At the same time, make sure that:
Filet-o-Fish burgers need special attention. With the high moisture content of the steamed bun, the burger will very easily fl atten. These should be the last burgers placed in the bag and nothing (Fries, Pies, etc ...) should be placed on top of them.
Take Away Drink Orders
For orders of 2 or more drinks, use a cup tray. Make sure lids are fi rmly on cups and then cups are seated fi rmly in the tray. Add condiments, utensils, Happy Meal toys as needed.
Remember, if it is not right, don’t serve it.
