McDonald’s Conveyor Belt Drive-Thru Leads Spate of Takeout Tinkering

As restaurant brands look to secure consumers’ digital loyalty, McDonald’s is testing new store formats.  The quick-service restaurant (QSR) brand announced in a company blog post Thursday (Dec. 1) that it is trying out a new concept at a store outside Fort Worth, Texas meant to boost off-premise efficiency.
