A business model centered on providing quick coffee service to customers in their vehicles, this system typically involves a physical location with a designated lane for ordering and pick-up, operating under a licensing agreement with an established brand. A familiar example would be a nationally recognized coffee company granting individuals the right to operate using their name, products, and systems.
This format offers convenience for consumers and potentially high profitability for operators due to streamlined service and brand recognition. Its historical roots lie in the American fast-food industry, evolving from a desire to provide quicker service and adapting to increasingly car-centric lifestyles. This operational style has contributed significantly to the widespread availability and popularity of coffee consumption.
