Wendy’s (Dublin, OH) will roll out a new design for its standalone restaurants that focuses on facilitating digital business.

Features of the fast-food chain’s “Global Next Gen” concept include a dedicated window for delivery pick-ups, mobile order pick-up shelving and updated technology that allows staff to handle more digital orders.

Wendy’s is also incorporating a new, galley-style kitchen design which runs from the front to the back of the restaurant. This layout, the company says, allows for efficiencies at the point of sale, provides the ability for staff to slide between positions more easily throughout the day and supports faster order fulfillment.

Additionally, new restaurants will integrate more energy-efficient lighting and HVAC elements.

Wendy’s will open its first restaurant with the new design in New Albany, OH next spring.
