New Chick-Fil-A location ditches drive-thru & cashiers to focus on mobile orders Pexels: Jace MillerA new Chick-Fil-A location opening up in Manhattan is focusing exclusively on mobile pick-up orders for \u2018on-the-go New Yorkers\u2019 without cashiers, a drive-thru, or a dining room. Chick-Fil-A is a popular fast food chain in the United States and Canada that features a variety of chicken-based offerings like nuggets and sandwiches, as well as its famous waffle fries and mouthwatering ice cream shakes. The chain has become synonymous with fast, friendly service, and most locations are jam-packed with drive-thru orders during the lunch rush\u2026 but one new Chick-Fil-A location is ditching the drive thru entirely, as well as a dining room. The company has decided to open up a new location in Manhattan that will specifically cater to mobile orders, acting as a pick-up spot for those who used the app to pay ahead of time. Chick-Fil-A ditches dining rooms, cashiers in new mobile-only location The location is set to open next week and will mark Chick-Fil-A\u2019s first-ever mobile-only location \u2014 but this is just one of a couple new experiments the chain is running in the US. For instance, the company also has a drive-thru only location in Atlanta, Georgia, which will also receive a pick-up lane for mobile orders. \u201cAt Chick-fil-A, we are always looking for ways to innovate and enhance the guest experience,\u201d Nathaniel Cates, Chick-Fil-A\u2019s senior principal design lead, said in a statement. \u201cWhile digital concepts are becoming more prevalent, it\u2019s important that we evolve in a uniquely Chick-fil-A way \u2013 meeting the changing needs of our customers without compromising the signature service and care they\u2019ve grown to know and love.\u201d The company claimed that its new mobile-only location in Manhattan is designed for \u201con-the-go New Yorkers\u201d to get a quick lunch during a hectic workday. With the Chick-Fil-A mobile app becoming a prominent element for its customers, the chain is leaning into this specific trend in its consumer base. Only time will tell if it\u2019s a hit, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
