This revamp will allow the brand to integrate a cashless payment system.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>In addition, the location will be infused with technology to make the guest experience even simpler. Ordering is done through the app or through a kiosk, then orders are placed into designated cubbies by kitchen staff. This will reduce the number of employees needed at any given time.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve eliminated the cashier, and the pickup. But now, we keep someone out front to answer questions and help you. We have raised our level of hospitality,&rdquo; said president Geoff Alexander.</div>
