Why so few drive-through takeaways?
Discussion
It's probably been asked before on here, but any discussion held with friends seems to always resound in absolute positivity.
Why not an Italian or Indian drive through chain?
Would it be that hard to drive up to an ordering bay, choose your pasta or rice type, choose your sauce/main...and have it served in a plastic dish with plastic cutlery?
I understand quality will be reduced, but it can't be hard to keep a vat of bolognese, or tikka masala or even chilli con carne and just serve it up whilst still being edible!
(I've just this summer turned into a student again, at 27years old, so I've suddenly become a lot more imaginative. You don't even want to hear about my design of hamster/rabbit water bottles with an LED warning light on the top for when it runs out...)

Just don't see the problem.
Near me, there are 4 McDonald's drive through's within a 10minute drive. They are always VERY busy. If I had the choice of a McDonald's, or even a Burger King drive through I would opt for an Italian based one every single time.
Most people I see at Drive through's tend to drive through then park up and eat their food in their car. So I don't see that an a reason why there are not these facilities.
If it was just an Italian one, they could have for example;
5 types of pasta and 6 types of sauces. You pick your pasta...and your sauce...job done?
No?

No. The pasta would almost always be overcooked, as they'd need to keep it warm... so what you'd end up with is slimy mush & sauce.No?

Am I really alone at thinking of this concept???
I'm not talking quality food...I'm just talking, a pasta alternative to McDonald's/Burger King...!
