ATLANTA – Yes, you read that correctly. Chick-fil-A just opened its first elevated drive-thru restaurant!
The restaurant, located in McDonough, Georgia, south of Atlanta, features four drive-thru lanes and “an elevated kitchen with a unique meal transport system,” according to the company.

“Designed in an innovative way to expedite service, the 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,” a company news release reads.
Chick-fil-A said the kitchen is two times larger than a regular Chick-fil-A restaurant kitchen and the conveyor system will deliver food to a team member every 6 seconds.
The new restaurant is a drive-thru only location, so there is no dining room or dine-in services.
Because there are four drive-thru lanes, Chick-fil-A said it will serve two to three times more vehicles than a standard restaurant.
If you visit this location, you can order through the mobile app or place your order in the drive-thru lane.
There’s no word if or when the elevated restaurants will be coming to Florida.
