<div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">In an effort to help streamline the drive thru experience, McDonald's is introducing a new ordering system. It can be a bummer to sit idly in a car in a drive thru and not get the correct order after all that anguish. McDonald's restaurants hope to relieve this issue by introducing its new &#8220;Ask, Ask, Tell&#8221; policy.</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">The new method will involve drive thru workers repeating a customer's order and asking them if it is correct. As another measure to ensure accuracy, workers will repeat the order again and leave the bag open for inspection. On the surface this seems to be adding more time to the drive thru experience, but the company is OK with sparing a few extra seconds to ensure quality.</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">&#8220;You&#8217;re probably going to add a couple seconds, which I don&#8217;t think will be huge as long as you&#8217;re creating a friendly experience&#8212;and getting the order right,&#8221; said New Jersey-based McDonald's franchisee Terry Smith. &#8220;Customers are getting the items that they want.&#8221;</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">Some restaurants are even foregoing recorded greetings, instead opting to just say &#8220;hello.&#8221; A study from QSR Magazine found that the drive thru wait times were the longest they have been since 1998, and the brand got approximately 88 percent of those order correct. The hope is that all of these methods will ensure more accurate orders and improve sales, as the brand has seen a few dips in sales since CEO Steven Easterbrook came on board in March. </span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">Easterbrook has worked to reshape the brand over the past few months by implementing an all-day breakfast menu, experimenting with new menu items and condensing drive-thru menus. The plan seems to be paying off as the company recorded its first gain in U.S. sales after seven consecutive quarters of being in the red, according to <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-23/mcdonald-s-knows-you-re-sick-of-screw-ups-at-drive-thru-windows?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mcdonalds-implementing-new-drive-thru-ordering-system-2986" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bloomberg Business</a>.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">The new &#8220;Ask, Ask, Tell&#8221; is optional for franchisees, which equates to 90 percent of the brand&#8217;s 14,350 U.S. stores.</span>&nbsp;</div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=" ">To read the whole article </span><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-23/mcdonald-s-knows-you-re-sick-of-screw-ups-at-drive-thru-windows?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mcdonalds-implementing-new-drive-thru-ordering-system-2986" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" style=" ">click here</a><span style=" ">.</span></div>
