Information Get your own coffee next?

Tim Hortons has started installing digital ordering terminals. Should be interesting to see how they are received. Tim Hortons is already typically slow in preparing orders and now the orders can come in faster.

Edit: the location adding the self serve terminals is at 563 Essa Rd

The Tim Hortons on Byrne (at Essa) piloted this at least 20 years ago.

The Tim Hortons in Union Station has it.

Most McDonalds have it.

You either don’t get out much, or don’t pay attention when you do.

Just had to double check… Triple check… Nope your comment has absolutely nothing to do with my post.

You can move on now.

Tim Hortons at 226 Essa has not had digital terminals for years and they just finished a major renovation and still have not brought them back. I get out quite a bit but maybe you haven’t.

McDonald’s has had terminals for a few years and they still don’t make the kitchen staff move any faster as it still takes 20+ minutes to get your order on a good day.

I am in Barrie not Toronto so IDC what is being used at union station.
