In today’s fast-paced world, drive-thru operations are more important than ever for ensuring quick and accurate service. Our DC-256C-T-UP-PNEUMATIC-PKG-DRIVE-THRU display timer is designed to help businesses track and improve their drive-thru efficiency by monitoring both customer count and time in line—automatically and in real-time. The hard workers at Muggies Coffee Co. requested DC-Digital for the following functions:

This model allows operators to gain valuable insights into drive-thru performance while maintaining a simple and automated process. As vehicles pull up to place an order, the system uses two pneumatic air hose switches to record and display accurate timing and count data.

When a customer drives over the first pneumatic switch, the green LED digits increment by one, and the up-timer begins counting. Once the customer completes their order and drives over the second pneumatic switch, the timer pauses and resets for the next customer. Each interaction automatically updates the network webpage, which logs customer counts and timing statistics for operational review.

Key Functions and Features

  • Drive-Thru Tracking: Accurately records the number of customers and their order times.
  • Dual Pneumatic Switches:
    • First switch: Starts the up-timer and increments the customer count.
    • Second switch: Stops the timer and logs the event to the network database.
  • Real-Time Data Logging: Displays the last 100 customer records and calculates an average service time for the day, resetting automatically at midnight.
  • Manual Controls:
    • Stop Button – allows operators to manually pause the timer if a delay occurs.
    • Reset Button – clears the timer when stopped for the next session.
  • Network Connectivity: Integrated Ethernet (RJ-45) port enables data viewing and configuration through a secure web interface.
  • NTP Clock Synchronization: Keeps accurate time across all records and updates automatically.
