Traffic Director

Drive-Thru Traffic Director Job

The role of a Traffic Director is to help the overall Restaurant by graciously and quickly inviting and welcoming each and every guest into our Drive Thru queue. They are the first team member each guest will see and we want this greeting to be warm, hospitable and with urgency. Our vision of the drive through is to be fast but never rushed, and every other team member and system in our business  is dependent on these people queuing quickly and evening into our drive thru lanes. Sometimes pulling into our parking lot seeing the multiple lanes, it can be confusing for our guests to know best where to go. The Traffic Director is responsible to communicate with clarity where to go, to ease the burden from our guests, and set the team up for the most success.  Your role is to ensure that we do not at any point in time have a car that hangs over and or blocks any part of the sidewalk, or queues out onto State St.

• Efficient Traffic Directing: Maximize drive-thru efficiency by guiding cars to pull forward tightly, ensuring more vehicles can enter and keeping the line moving smoothly. Distribute cars evenly to maintain steady traffic flow and prevent bottlenecks, while keeping the drive-thru clear and accessible for incoming vehicles.
• Effective Communicate: The Drive-Thru Director keeps the leadership informed of all the drive-thru updates. They are also responsible to communicate clearly with guests if the drive-thru reaches capacity, directing them to return at a later time when necessary.
