The Importance of Curbside Pickup Signposts and Drive-Thru Lane Delineation for Restaurants

FlexPost Signposts and Bollard for Restaurant Parking Lots

The Pandemic Has Made Restaurant Parking Lots Extremely Relevant

The importance of the parking lot for restaurants soared during the course of the pandemic, especially as it relates to curbside pickup. Because patrons were not able to get out of their vehicles and enter a restaurant, the only option became curbside take-out. Essentially, the previously unconsidered parking space became the sum of a patron’s interaction with that facility, and thereafter parking lots had to begin working very hard to deliver a positive customer experience.

Curbside Pickup and Drive-Thru for Restaurants Is Here to Stay

As restaurants have opened back up, many patrons continue to prefer curbside pickup/take-out due to the convenience it offers, or opting to use the drive-thru. Quick-serve restaurants and fast casual dining establishments have especially seen an increase in traffic via the drive-thru lanes, including moves to multiple lanes, orders being taken in advance of the pick-up window, and designated overflow areas where customers can be directed to wait for their orders without holding up the line.

In addition to the need for operational considerations for streamlining order taking and speed to delivery, traffic must be directed using delineators, signposts and parking/wayfinding signage.
