　　Fast food turns out isn’t a quite as fast as it used to be. But new study finds that MacDonald’s posted it slowest as drive through time since the survey was first conducted fifteen years ago. As MacDonald’s, customers will spend on average three minutes and nine seconds from the time they place their orders until they received their food. That’s about ten seconds more than the industry average and a lot slower in a decade ago according to the study which was commissioned by QSR ,an industry trade publication. And Macdonald wasn’t alone in slowing down. Other chains also saw their drive through performance slow down. Among the reasons for the slower service. Today there are more choices on the menu and products themselves are more complex and take longer to prepare. Speed of course is essential to the drive through experience. And drive throughs are hugely important to chains ,such as MacDonald’s, Burger King and Tucle Bell .Usually, the drive through accounts for 60% to 70% of all business that go through a fast food restaurant ,notes Sam poachers editor of QSR. Of course, consumers also want their orders prepared correctly and on that score ,poachers says accuracy is still really high.
