chick-fil-a via conveyor belt.
why not?

the popular fast-food chicken chain is trying out a new way to get its much sought-after poultry to its customers faster, according to people .

chick-fil-a opened a new drive-thru-only, two-storey restaurant aug. 22 in mcdonough, ga.
the concept features a kitchen twice the size of one typically found in chick-fil-a locations to service four drive-thru lanes and three times more vehicles than a standard location.
customers can order via online at two of the lanes or in person with employees at the other two lanes.
better still, conveyor belts are used to get chicken from the kitchen to the employees who deliver it to customers with food from the upstairs kitchen coming down every six seconds.
this is just the latest of several new restaurant concepts chick-fil-a has tested this year.
