As high-volume restaurants adapt to the “new normal” during COVID-19, drive-thru and curbside pickup have become a priority — and touch-free solutions are the key to increase volume and ensure guest safety. Appetize, renowned for its powerful cloud-based POS, digital ordering, and enterprise management platform, is helping businesses successfully deploy touch-free solutions that enhance drive-thru and curbside pickup options.

To help modernize traditional drive-thrus, Appetize offers contactless payment at POS terminals to eliminate cash passing between guests and staff. Appetize also offers handheld devices for linebusting, which reduces wait times, increases sales, and improves the guest experience.

Appetize’s digital ordering solution, Interact Web, also provides new ways to serve guests. The web-based system supports all transactions (there is no need to build an app for guests to download), and using QR codes with Interact Web gives guests instant access to ordering on their own mobile phones, enabling new operational models.

One model, Virtual Drive-Thru, uses a QR code placed at each parking space. Guests pull into a spot, scan the code with their phone from the car, and instantly order — turning every parking spot into an ordering location. Once an order is placed, guests receive updates via text,, or they can view an Order Status Board viewable from the parking lot or curbside pickup location. When an order is ready, it can be delivered directly to the car, picked-up at a window, or the customer can be instructed to enter the drive-thru lane.

Similarly, QR codes can be placed on signs at entrances or at the counter in a Virtual Kiosk model, or on dining tables in a Virtual Waiter model.


Adding digital ordering to your operations offers many benefits for both guests and restaurants. Guests don’t have to wait in drive-thru lines or handle cash, and they receive order updates. For restaurants, it removes ordering bottlenecks and increases volumes. Restaurants can handle multiple cars at once rather than one drive-thru lane.


Appetize proudly powers food, beverage, and retail orders for large-scale operations. If you are looking for a provider to help your business adapt to “the new normal,” Appetize has the technology and experience to help you succeed.
