POS provider ParTech Inc. has partnered with Techknow, a multi-sensor drive-thru management solution company, to equip restaurants with drive-thru timers and wireless communication systems.

Techknow timer solutions use multiple sensors that can track the time and progress of vehicles from many different lane configurations, giving restaurant operators flexibility and access to real-time business intelligence, Techknow CEO Richard Elliott said in a company press release. Its products, enterprise operating statistics software, remote monitoring HelpDesk platform and Techknow Challenge, a real-time competitive ranking system that gamifies the drive-thru, are an integral component to ParTech's comprehensive drive-thru solution, said Scott Marentay, ParTech's director of products, drive-thru.

"At ParTech, our purpose is to help restaurants create meals and moments that elevate the guest experience, and a key component to this is gathering as much data as possible. We expect the drive-thru to evolve significantly in the coming years, and our partnership with Techknow is a step towards that evolution," he said. "Techknow is a mature product with an eye towards innovation. We believe that together, ParTech's communications systems and Techknow's drive-thru management system are a great foundation to build the drive-thru of the future.”
