In their own words
DRIVETHRUiQ
DRIVETHRUiQ is a cloud platform for drive-thru operators that provides live service information and performance analytics. Its timer screen displays service times, goal status, bottlenecks, parked cars, car counts, and alerts when targets are at risk. Operators can choose computer-vision detection to follow customer journeys, recognize car reversals, and support multi-lane layouts, or loop-based detection for simpler single- or dual-lane locations. The Panorama cloud analytics suite includes custom dashboards, more than 80 reports, hourly trends, leaderboards, anomaly alerts, and data export. A ranking screen compares stores across a district, region, or enterprise according to selected priorities. For customers using VIDEOiQ, DATAiQ, and DRIVETHRUiQ, the 360iQ platform combines drive-thru performance with store KPIs, synchronized video, and POS data. Listed POS integrations include Aloha, Brink, Clover, Oracle Simphony, QU, Revel, Square, and Toast. Hardware offerings include headsets and speaker posts, which are compatible with loop-based and vision-based installations. DRIVETHRUiQ is intended for operators ranging from a single high-volume restaurant to businesses with hundreds of locations.
