A new study has been released showing which fast food restaurant has the fastest and slowest drive-thrus. Can you guess which has the fastest service and which has the slowest? You may be surprised at the list!

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen more people in convenient drive-thru lines than ever before. The study from SeeLevel HX tracked fast-food drive-thru wait times, and it was in 2020 that we saw a dramatic spike. Additionally, it showed that not all fast food lines are created equal as some people spent a good amount of time waiting in drive-thru lines than others depending on the restaurant.
