Five Guys restaurant launches super-speedy ‘Curbside’ pick-up system in Edinburgh

Five Guys has launched Curbside, a personalised and precise-location food pick-up order service at Fort Kinnaird retail park in Edinburgh.

The US burger chain says it is the latest pandemic-friendly way to order food and will transform online takeout orders.

Burger lovers can place an order on the Five Guys app or website which geo-tracks their location, providing a "seamless, contactless customer experience”, says the restaurant.

Curbside uses proprietary location technologies, sending customer arrival notifications to Five Guys Crew so orders can be prepared and brought to customers as soon as they arrive.

The latest pandemic-friendly way to order Five Guys.

The Fort Kinnaird branch of Five Guys was one of a selection of stores across the UK picked to offer the service, which promotes contactless payments and removes the need for customers to leave their cars.

The introduction follows a successful trial period for the app during nationwide lockdown, and aims to provide a safe and stress-free collection service for those looking to enjoy Five Guys in their car or at home.
