Stream's Velocity drive-thru timer clocks every car through every stage of the lane — live from your cameras and POS — and turns speed of service into a game your crew wants to win.

A drive-thru timer — also called a drive-thru timer system or speed-of-service timer — measures every car at every stage of your lane, from greet to pickup window. You can't speed up what you don't measure: Velocity puts the numbers where the whole crew can see them, in real time.
This is a live simulation of the Velocity dashboard. Cars enter, stages clock, colors call out trouble — exactly what your crew sees on the wall.
Green is on goal. Yellow is slipping. Red is money driving off.
The drive-thru timer system tracks each stage against goals you set — by daypart, by lane, by store. Every number on the dashboard is a car, and every second off the average is throughput you keep.
Velocity ranks your stores on a live leaderboard. Nobody wants to be last — and suddenly every crew is racing the region.
Speed-of-service gamification works because crews can see the score. Store-vs-store rankings update all day, so a slow hour in one location is visible — and beatable — before it becomes a slow week.
Video cameras spot each vehicle the moment it enters the lane — no pavement loops to cut, and you get a live video feed of the lane in the bargain.
Velocity fuses camera events with your POS transactions to time each stage of the customer experience — greet, order, and pickup window — against the goals you set.
Live results display on any screen with customizable widgets — times, percentages, and color coding your crew can read from across the kitchen.
Know your regulars, too. Optional loyalty reports recognize repeat customers in the lane, so your team can greet the every-morning large-coffee order like the regular they are.
The complete system the timer measures: menu boards, voice AI, order confirmation, and support.

A drive-thru timer is a system that measures how long each car spends at every stage of the drive-thru — greet, order, and pickup window — and displays live times, averages, and goals for the crew. Stream's Velocity timer adds gamified store leaderboards and camera-based detection with a live video feed.
Most timers use either induction loops cut into the pavement or cameras. Velocity uses video camera detection — cameras spot each vehicle as it enters the lane and fuse those events with POS transaction data, so there's no concrete to cut and you get a live view of the lane included.
It varies by menu and daypart, which is why Velocity lets you set your own stage goals instead of one fixed target. The pattern that matters: measure your current averages, set goals slightly under them, and let the color-coded dashboard and leaderboard pull times down week over week.
Yes — Velocity supports single-lane and Y-lane drive-thrus, with both lanes timed and displayed on one dashboard.
Velocity times the lane from cameras and POS transaction events, and it's headset-agnostic — it doesn't replace your communication system, it measures around it. Ask us about your specific POS during a demo.
Pricing depends on lane configuration and camera count. Because faster averages mean more cars served per hour, the system is priced to pay for itself in throughput. See the drive-thru cost guide or book a demo for a quote.
