&quot;Drive-thru looks very different than it used to and is less oriented toward customers, and more for delivery drivers,&quot; T3 President Ben Gaddis told Restaurant Dive.&nbsp;

As customers expect immediate service more and more, fast casuals such as Chipotle have begun utilizing new techniques to perfect online ordering. The recently rolled out <a href="https://www.ajc.com/news/local/chipotle-open-first-drive-thru-lane-new-cobb-restaurant/P32jzWLJ3UNE5Vrp2AyITJ/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=drive-thru-windows-gaining-popularity-among-fast-casuals-2710487" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Chipotlanes</a> offer customers the chance to pre-pay online and pick up their food at a designated time without ever leaving the comfort of their car.&nbsp;

Other fast casuals such as Blaze and Cava are set to roll out their own pick-up by car locations later this year. Many fast food chains have also been shifting into drive-thru delivery as well, including Starbucks, Panera and Panda Express.&nbsp;

&quot;I think once the franchisee community sees the benefits of having the online pick-up window, everyone is going to want it,&quot; Blaze Pizza SVP of Development Robert Kluger ?told Restaurant Dive.

While not every location is well-suited to drive-thru windows, fast casuals are continuing to develop this method as more business comes from online and apps.&nbsp;
