In the drive-thru world, speed matters even when it comes to repairs. That’s why CGS is built for fast turnarounds and minimal downtime.

The Real Cost of Drive Thru Downtime

If your drive thru system fails or experiences minor glitches, here’s what’s at stake:

    • Dropped Orders: A broken headset means missed communication and lost sales
    • Slower Ticket Times: Faulty timers throw off prep flow and staff coordination
    • Employee Frustration: Malfunctioning base stations lead to confusion and inefficiency
    • Poor Customer Experience: Long wait times = bad reviews and fewer return visits
    • Revenue Loss: Every minute of downtime during peak hours hits your bottom line

What We Maintain & Repair

Our priority? Less downtime. More assurance. Our maintenance plans include:

Drive Thru Headsets

Audio cutting in and out? Battery not holding a charge? We troubleshoot and repair both wired and wireless systems, including pairing issues, broken earpieces, and audio distortion.

Timer Systems

If your kitchen screen is lagging or inaccurate, it’s time for a checkup. We repair timer displays, recalibrate sensors, and ensure your timing integrates smoothly with your POS and workflow.

Base Stations & Wiring

Power issues, dead zones, or syncing failures? We handle system resets, board replacements, and wiring corrections to restore your team’s ability to communicate clearly and instantly.

Speaker Posts & Microphones

Garbled audio or no sound at all? Our techs can repair or replace speakers, mic units, and weather-damaged enclosures so your customers hear you the first time.

Preventive Maintenance Packages

Don’t wait for something to break. We offer flexible maintenance plans that include routine testing and calibration, full system inspections, and multi-location servicing (for franchisees).
