How Bojangles Drive-Thrus Help Drive Restaurant Franchise Sales

Why Bojangles Remains a Leader in QSR

From making scratch-made biscuits fresh in-store to hand-breading chicken tenders with bold flavors and spices and offering all-day breakfast, Bojangles offers the perfect balance of a carefully crafted menu with the streamlined service that today’s guests demand. The quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry represents a booming market, driven by customers who prioritize speed and convenience that fits seamlessly into busy lifestyles and hectic daily schedules.

Since its inception, Bojangles has been providing a go-to source for breakfast, lunch, and dinner favorites while building a loyal guest base across the country. And because ambitious entrepreneurs often see the value in running their own restaurant franchise under a nationally recognized name, we’ve built our network on the support systems that help make ownership possible.

While our expansion and growth couldn’t be possible without the local franchise owners that make it happen every day, we’ve also remained ahead of the curve by keeping up with what guests want out of a QSR leader and offering the convenience that makes Bojangles a top choice when hunger strikes. Drive-thru sales, innovative tech solutions, and exciting new menu items are all part of the Bojangles brand and where we’re headed next, making it easier for guests to enjoy our brand and for our franchisees to serve them.

The Demand for Drive-Thru Convenience

Drive-thrus aren’t a new concept. In fact, they’ve been around since the mid-20th century, providing a time-tested solution to guests on the go. But despite that deep history, drive-thrus are more relevant today than perhaps ever before. According to the National Restaurant Association, off-premises restaurant dining is a popular trend, especially among younger crowds, making delivery, takeout, and drive-thrus a convenient option for enjoying meals at home.

At Bojangles, the drive-thru helps capture an additional revenue stream from guests who don’t have the time or desire to dine-in or wait in-store. This streamlined setup allows customers to quickly place their order, pay, and pick up all in one line, with many of our franchisees tapping into convenience that helps the best QSRs stand out in a crowded marketplace. Add in a signature and beloved menu, the Bojangles Rewards app, delivery and catering options, plus a commitment to great customer service, and it’s easy to see why multi-unit owners often choose our proven restaurant franchise brand to scale with and add to their growing portfolio.

Capturing Every Daypart

Here’s how we help keep the drive-thru line moving throughout the day. Because Bojangles is far from a one-trick pony, we’ve remained relevant across generations of guests by keeping them engaged throughout the day. Breakfast is a major driver of yearly sales, with guests stopping by before school and work for our Bo Berry Biscuits, Bo-tato Rounds, and handcrafted biscuit sandwiches.

Our scratch-made biscuits are never frozen or baked from a pre-made box. Many Bojangles franchises feature a window where guests can watch them being made in real time, creating a fun, interactive experience the whole family can enjoy. And for our drive-thru guests, it’s an unmistakable freshness they can taste, making Bojangles a premier stop that other brands can’t compete with.

That same excitement carries over into lunch and dinner. Cajun-inspired chicken tenders become the star of the show along with our Fixins, featuring Bojangles’ famous Seasoned Fries, Dirty Rice, Cole Slaw, and Mac ‘n Cheese. No matter the hour, owners who choose a restaurant franchise with Bojangles benefit from an established menu that wins with guests nationwide, while a rotating lineup of limited-time offerings and seasonal favorites keeps things fresh throughout the year.
