Wendy’s is testing curbside pickups using underground tubes

The underground supply system comes by a partnership with Pipedream, a logistics firm centered on automated robotic supply through underground pipes. The idea right here is that you just order utilizing the Wendy’s app and so they’ll be capable to ship meals “in seconds” straight from their kitchen to the gate by your parking spot with out having an worker herald your order.

Pipedream calls the system, “Prompt Pickup.” Wendy’s hopes this may result in “sooner service and higher accuracy for cellular ordering.”

Wendy’s plans to put in an instantaneous pickup system at an present restaurant later this yr (I think about the placement would must be pretty busy to make sure such a system is used).

Picture through Wendy.
