Amazon.com: Books: Drive Thru America (#)

„In their first book, Sean & David's Long Drive, the two Aussies drove across their native land, with Condon recording the experience in a hip, irreverent riff that was both perceptive and downright hilarious. In Sean & David's Drive Thru America, they give the U.S. the same treatment. Starting with Sean's impersonation of a blind man on the flight from Australia to Montreal--just in case he got stuck with a boring seatmate (he didn't)--and ending with Sean's agreement to deliver a letter to Seattle for a mysterious blind man claiming to have sold his corneas, this automobile odyssey is packed full of the strange and the unexpected. As they travel from East Coast to West, Sean and David test out the perimeters of the American popular culture they ingested through imported television shows, films, and music.“

Tea & Coffee 02/01 - ESPRESSO DRIVE-THRUS: Zooming Towards the Future (#)

„As mentioned earlier, weather concerns also result in certain standards that must be met: for instance, the unit must be built to withstand high windloads in high hurricane areas like North Carolina, and roof reinforcement must be put in for snowy areas. Many areas of the country won’t even allow drive-thrus at all. According to one source, this reluctance may have originated in the early days of the drive-thru when there weren’t any specific rules for the new entity. He says a lot of mistakes were made by underfunded “mom and pop shops” that built their own and cut corners, poisoning the regulatory organizations’ views of this type of business.“

„Inside shopping malls Don't forget to check with zoning and Restaurant Health Inspection Departments and make sure that they will allow you to open and operate such a concept on that location. This is especially important for the drive-thru locations. The Design Besides an attractive visual design, your espresso station must be also designed for speed and efficiency of service so your customers don't have a long wait. There have been times when I had to wait ten minutes to get served my latte, with only a few people ahead of me.“

„The world of coffee employs more than 25 million people around the world to sustain our coffee supply.

The emergence of the Espresso era and the cappuccino years have fueled this public phenomenon. An explosion of sophisticated specialty tastes have changed the face of coffee forever.“

View topic - Is Drive-Thru really necessary? - Coffee Forum (#)

„When you take time into consideration, it makes since to do a drive thru than it does for a sit down, and considerably less expense. I agree with Sip of Seattle that if you are located in a strip mall location and can add a drive thru window I would do that. Meaning that you can cater to both customers. One being for those who do have the time to get out and park, and the ease for the others who can only drive through.“

Tea & Coffee 12/04 - From Bland to Killer Brand (#)

„The Pedersens understand how to power a brand. A smart cartoon icon, reaching six feet high adorns the front of the drive-thru and the menu targets perfectly their family-friendly location. They chose a site less than a five-minute drive from a huge, growing suburban home development. The husband and wife business team is right on track to realizing an 18-20% net profit from over $800,000 in sales from the two locations in 2004.“

„   How picky can the law get? If you name your little neighborhood coffee stand Carbucks, because you thought that would be a clever name for a drive-thru, and someone who works for Starbucks passes your store one day or sees your ad in the neighborhood newspaper, expect to hear from their lawyers in short order. Sound far-fetched? Then consider this: in June 2002 Starbucks filed suit in Seattle federal court against a Brooklyn, N.Y.“
