Taco Bell (Irvine, CA) is rolling out a new two-story concept called “Taco Bell Defy” that features four drive-thru lanes, Retail Wire writes.
The kitchen will be located on the second level where orders are prepared to send below for pickup. Three of the drive-thru lanes will be dedicated to mobile or delivery-order pickups, a “skip the line” solution for customers who order from the Taco Bell app or a third-party service.
