As much as I would like to agree with you regarding the phrase "ran it into the ground," that phrase was not the purpose of my post and request for information.

The drive-thru I intend to open will not be part of any franchise and I have no intention on utilizing it as a primary source of income. It is intended to be supplemental and, moreover, a project that will give me satisfaction in its completion. I am a lawyer and public administrator by training and have no intention on living from the profits of the drive-thru.

My post requesting information was to see if anyone has any first-hand information regarding drive-thru (brew-thru) operations. Additionally, I am looking for anyone with specific knowledge of a business plan (template) specifically designed for such operations.

As far as speaking with the two previous owners. The first owner ran the drive-thru for 25 years successfully. The second owner is currently still in PRISON....after running the store into the ground.

If anyone has any information I would appreciate it!
