Chick-fil-A Tests Mobile Order Express Drive-Thru Lanes
Chick-fil-A is testing express drive-thru lanes at select stores for use with mobile orders only. The lane will be partially or fully dedicated to orders placed through the Chick-fil-A app in existing drive-thru locations, allowing mobile app customers to bypass the traditional drive-thru line.
Customers place their orders and choose a location in the app. At the express lane, they use the app to scan a QR code and receive their order from a team member. The company said the new lanes have significantly decreased wait time and most customers who use the express drive-thru choose to use it again on their next visit.
Accor Launches All-Inclusive Collection
Accor announced its expansion in the all-inclusive market with the launch of its multi-branded “All-Inclusive Collection.” The move will first build upon its Rixos brand but will also see the company’s luxury and premium brands enter the all-inclusive space.
Gaurav Bhushan, CEO of Accor Lifestyle & Entertainment and co-CEO of Ennismore, added, “The post-COVID travel market is witnessing a renewed desire for leisure stays. Accor’s strategic decision to double down on the all-inclusive segment, the fastest growing sector in this market and build upon its success with Rixos, capitalizes on this opportunity.”
