Fast food chain KFC has rolled out its first high-tech, four-lane, drive-thru-only restaurant in South Australia.

Hungry diners can expect to be served in record time when they choose the pre-paid option via the app or website before collecting their orders at the window.

The new Mt Gambier outlet promises a speedy and convenient service, with two pick-up lanes for customers who want to skip the queue, alongside two lanes with traditional drive-thru order options.

For those without a vehicle, the restaurant features a walk-up kiosk, open from 10am to 5.30pm daily, ensuring everyone can use the new facilities.

The process is very simple – after completing an order and arriving, customers will enter a unique four-digit code on a touchscreen receiver, transmitting their order to the kitchen where it will be freshly prepared, ready for pick-up at the window.

The state’s first tech-powered restaurant is the second of its kind in the world following the successful opening of the first in Newcastle, New South Wales in November last year. 

The new restaurant is owned and operated by longstanding KFC local franchisee partners David and Marie Bird.

‘Mt Gambier has grown to love the taste of Kentucky Fried Chicken so we’re excited to open the doors to this innovative, state-first Drive Thru Only restaurant,’ David said. 

‘We have a great local team who are excited for today’s opening of KFC’s latest tech-powered restaurant in Mt Gambier.’
