For the first time ever, Chick-fil-A has opened its first elevated drive-thru restaurant in McDonough. This first-of-its-kind restaurant for Chick-fil-A is a drive-thru only restaurant that features four drive-thru lanes and an elevated kitchen with a unique meal transport system.

The concept was strategically designed to increase speed-of-service and simplify the drive-thru experience for guests. I think we can all agree Chick-fil-A already does an amazing job with their drive-thru services, but this could make it even better.

This new elevated drive-thru restaurant has four drive-thru lanes and a sophisticated conveyer belt system that streamlines food delivery by quickly moving the meal from the elevated kitchen above to a Team Member on the ground below. The kitchen is two times larger than a typical Chick-fil-A restaurant kitchen and the food conveyor system allows for a meal to be delivered to a Team Member every six seconds. Similar to other existing Chick-fil-A drive-thru only locations, there is no dining room or dine-in services at this restaurant.

“Our Guests lead busy lives, and we’re focused on designing our restaurants to best serve their needs,” said Jonathan Reed, Executive Director of Design for Chick-fil-A, Inc. “With the new Elevated Drive-Thru design, featuring our first four lane drive-thru, we're aiming to deliver quality food and genuine hospitality in a way that’s uniquely Chick-fil-A, and gives our Guests time back in their day.”

The four-lane drive-thru has the capacity to support two to three times more vehicles than a standard Chick-fil-A restaurant drive-thru.

The new Chick-fil-A is located at 2155 Jodeco Road, McDonough, GA. Chick-fil-A Jodeco Road will be open from 6am to 10pm, Monday through Saturday. It officially opened August 22, 2024.
