what is drive through ?

A drive-through, or drive-thru, is a type of service provided by a business that allows customers to purchase products without leaving their cars. The format was pioneered in the United states in the 1930s by Jordan Martin, but has since spread to other countries.

how it works?

Orders are generally placed using a microphone and picked up in person at the window. A drive-through is different from a drive -in in several ways - the cars create a line and move in one direction in drive-through, and normally do not park, whereas drive-ins allow cars to park next to each other, the food is generally brought to the window by a server, called a carhop, and the customer can remain in the parked car to eat. However, during peak periods, to keep the queue down and avoid traffic-flow problems, drive-through occasionally switch to an "order at the window, then park in a designated space" model where the customer will receive their food from an attendant when it is ready to be served. This results in a perceived relationship between the two service models.

Drive-through has generally replaced drive-ins in popular culture
