Though their formats are not identical, both restaurants forgo the franchise brand&rsquo;s traditional dining rooms and drive-thru layout for more kitchen space to act as a hub for food-to-go orders via delivery and catering while still serving Chick-fil-A&rsquo;s full menu offering. Customers can order delivery from the locations through DoorDash and can also place orders for pickup through the company&rsquo;s mobile app.

The Louisville location will focus solely on preparing catering and delivery orders, while the Nashville location accepts walk-up orders and is cash-free. The brand says the new restaurants won&rsquo;t affect the offerings at any other Chick-fil-A locations in the area.

&ldquo;Customers are relying more on mobile delivery and this new location helps us provide that convenience,&rdquo; Nashville franchisee Will Sims said in the article.
