QSR Drive-Thru Feasibility & Design – End-Cap Retrofit

We are seeking an experienced QSR Architect / Restaurant Prototype Architect / Drive-Thru Specialist Architect to evaluate, design, and document a new drive-thru facility integrated into an existing retail end-cap building.

The project involves retrofitting a drive-thru lane, order point(s), and pick-up window(s) on a constrained urban site, as illustrated in the attached ALTA/NSPS survey, site overlays, and conceptual drive-thru imagery.

The selected consultant will lead drive-thru planning, geometry, and code compliance, coordinating site constraints with operational best practices.

Project Objectives

The primary objective is to determine a code-compliant, operationally efficient drive-thru configuration that can be approved by local authorities and support modern QSR throughput requirements.

Specific goals include:
• Maximizing vehicle stacking without negatively impacting site circulation
• Maintaining ADA accessibility and pedestrian safety
• Aligning drive-thru operations with kitchen and service flow
• Ensuring zoning and municipal compliance for Miami-Dade County
