Increases in drive-thru sales and profits using the state-of-the-art Fast Track 2+2 Drive-Thru Timer System result in rapid payback of the investment in months rather than years for quick service restaurant operators. The Fast Track 2+2 Drive-Thru Timer is a tool to motivate store crew to achieve goals and improve performance by continuously and accurately measuring, analyzing and displaying car count and speed of service independently of the POS System. The Fast Track 2+2 Drive-Thru Timer can be connected to PCs using its RS-232, network interface options. Fast Track PC Software downloads the car count and speed of service database to PCs and creates reports from which management can evaluate drive-thru goals and performance. Fast Track PC Software also provides remote monitoring of the Fast Track 2+2 Drive-Thru Timer for real-time non-video surveillance of the drive-thru, convenient uploading of Timer parameters, and efficient trouble-shooting of Timer problems.
