Drive-Thru Speaker Post

Loud and clear.
Lane after lane.

Two-way audio, order confirmation, and all-weather build quality — in one post.

The Stream drive-thru speaker post combines a noise-cancelling intercom, an optional order confirmation screen, and a weather-sealed steel housing — fully integrated with your POS and installed nationwide by our own team.

Order Confirmation App

See the order.
Nail the order.

The Order Confirmation App displays every item on the post as it's entered, synced live from your POS. Customers verify before they pull forward — fewer remakes, faster windows, higher scores. Learn more about the Order Confirmation App →

POS Integrations

Works with the POS
you already run.

Direct POS integrations put every order on the post the second it's keyed in — no re-entry, no middleware. Stream connects with the leading point-of-sale systems, so orders and pricing stay in sync automatically.

StreamCMS Dashboard

Full control.
One dashboard.

Run every screen from the StreamCMS dashboard — push promos, schedule content, and update layouts across every lane and location in seconds. Start from customizable templates or design your own, and keep every post on brand without touching a ladder.

Voice AI Drive-Thru Ordering

AI takes the order.
Your team makes it.

Voice AI is already running on Stream speaker posts — not a roadmap item. Integrated with SoundHound AI, Vox AI, Deepgram, and Microsoft AI, your lane can take orders in natural language, hands-free for staff, with accuracy that holds at peak rush. The drive-thru hardware on SoundHound's Dynamic Drive-Thru site? That's a Stream post, powering live deployments today.

Voice AI + Order Confirmation

Say it.
See it.

Every spoken item lands on the screen the moment the AI hears it. Voice AI and the Order Confirmation App work as one system — customers watch their order build in real time and fix anything at the speaker, before the window instead of after it.

Two-Way Drive-Thru Intercom

Every word.
First time.

Noise-cancelling audio cuts through idling engines and traffic so your team hears the order — not the highway. Full-duplex two-way communication means no clipped words and no "can you repeat that," even at peak rush. And the post is headset-agnostic — it works with any headset communication brand you run, including:

HME Panasonic PAR R.F. Technologies
Drive-Thru Video Chat

Face to face.
At the speaker.

A built-in camera turns the post into a live video call. Your team greets drive-thru customers face to face while the order builds on the screen below — a personal touch no intercom alone can match, and one more chance to get it right before the window.

All-Weather Construction

Built for every forecast.

Weather-sealed steel housing rated for sun, snow, rain, and everything the forecast throws at it. Serviceable components, waterproof cabling, and a finish that still looks installed-yesterday years in.

Custom Colors

Any color.
Your brand.

Stream drive-thru speaker posts in six custom colors — red, orange, green, white, blue, and black

Every post is powder-coated to order. Match your brand color exactly — from a single lane to a hundred locations — with custom wraps and logo panels available too.

Speaker Post FAQs

What is a drive-thru speaker post?

A drive-thru speaker post is the outdoor ordering point of a drive-thru system — a weatherproof post housing a two-way intercom (and optionally an order confirmation screen) where customers place their order before pulling to the window.

Does the speaker post support AI voice ordering?

Yes — Stream speaker posts are integrated with SoundHound AI, Vox AI, Deepgram, and Microsoft AI, and these integrations are running in live drive-thrus today. AI voice ordering can be enabled at installation or added later without replacing the post.

Can the speaker post do video chat with drive-thru customers?

Yes. A built-in camera turns the post into a live video call, so your team greets customers face to face at the speaker while the order builds on the screen below.

Does it work with my existing headset system?

Yes — Stream speaker posts integrate with leading drive-thru headset systems. If you're replacing an older post, we can usually reuse existing conduit and wiring.

What's the difference between a drive-thru speaker and an intercom system?

A drive-thru speaker only plays audio out to the customer, while an intercom system is full two-way communication — the customer and your team can both talk and hear. A speaker post combines the two-way intercom, microphone, and optionally an order confirmation screen in one weatherproof unit at the ordering point.

Which headset brands work with the Stream speaker post?

The post is headset-agnostic — it works with any headset communication brand you run, including HME, Panasonic, PAR, and R.F. Technologies. You keep the headsets your team already uses.

Can I add the order confirmation screen later?

Yes. The post is upgrade-ready — the Order Confirmation App and screen can be added after initial installation.

How does speaker post installation work?

One Stream team handles the whole install anywhere in the USA — site survey, trenching, mounting, cabling, and commissioning. If you're replacing an older post, we can usually reuse the existing conduit and wiring, and AlwaysON™ remote monitoring takes over from day one.

Can I get the speaker post in my brand's colors?

Yes — every post is powder-coated to order, so it can match your brand color exactly. Custom wraps and logo panels are available too.

How much does a speaker post cost?

Pricing depends on configuration and site work. Most drive-thru upgrades reach full ROI within 2–3 months. See our drive-thru cost guide or book a demo for a quote.
