"They're pressed for time."</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Harms and the QSCP team was one of the first franchise groups in the system to roll out the brand's "Peak 150" initiative to enhance speed of service. Under "Peak 150", the brand's goal is to deliver a quality experience and deliver food to customers in under 150 seconds utilizing technologies like drive-thru timers, investing in staff, and evaluating and updating equipment. "It's proven to be a good traffic and business driver," Harms said. </div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Additionally, Harms found that speed of service could be improved with better employee efficiency during peak hours, so he created a "lockdown" procedure where staff are fixed in their stations during those times. The efforts have led to sales increases of as much as double digits at QSCP's seven locations across Florida.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>For more franchising information about Checkers and Rally's, <a href="http://checkers.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nations-restaurant-news-checkers-captures-market-share-with-fast-service-3495" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">click here</a>.</div>
