These days, convenience is often the name of the game for meals. While drive-throughs used to be the gold standard for fast, easy dining, many people today think they fall short when it comes to taste and quality. Because of this, take-out has risen as a contender to challenge the drive-through’s reign.
At Dugout Bar & Grill, we fully support the trend toward take-out over drive-through, and in this post, we’ll explore a few of the reasons we think the winner is clearly take-out.
- Better Ingredients, Freshly Prepared: Most fast food chains depend on pre-packages and processed ingredients to form the backbone of their menu. Restaurants that offer take-out are more likely to prioritize fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with attention to detail, providing you with a meal that’s bursting with flavor.
- Made-to-Order, Not Mass Produced: Fast food chains use an assembly line preparation style to crank out as many meals as possible in a short period of time. While the efficiency is undeniable, the meals lack the care and personalization of made-to-order foods. With take-out, you can kiss stale fries and soggy burgers goodbye, since they’re made fresh and sent out hot.
- Convenience Without Compromise: As take-out becomes more and more popular, restaurants are honing their process and getting better and better at meeting customer’s need for convenience and speed. Upgrades like online or over-the-phone ordering, curbside pickup, delivery, and more help enhance the process, and most places that offer take-out are just as convenient as heading to the drive-thru.
Why settle for anything less than an excellent dining experience, even when time is of the essence? The next time you need dinner in a hurry, place your take-out order with us and experience the difference quality makes!
