The Taco Bell of the future looks like a bank!

People on social are calling it the “food tube.” The kitchen and workers are above the drive-thru lanes, and some of the lanes are strictly for pre-orders and third party orders. Their goal is to give you food in two minutes or less! This is assuming someone isn’t in front of you ordering for six other people in the car!
