MIAMI — If McDonald's can't deliver your drive-thru order within 60 seconds of paying, you eat for free on your next visit.
That's the basis of a new promotion at some South Florida McDonald's according to a Miami Herald report.
Patrons at participating South Florida McDonald's will receive timers when they pay at the drive-thru window. If the order is not delivered within 60 seconds, McDonald's will issue a coupon for a free lunch item for a future visit.
The promotion will run in South Florida Monday – Friday from noon to 1 p.m. through Aug. 29.
According to Business Insider, McDonald's has a drive-thru wait time average of more than three minutes, which is the longest average wait time in at least 15 years, according to a study by QSR Magazine.
Business Insider earlier reported that McDonald's, in an effort to speed up wait times, announced plans to add a third window to its drive-thru lanes.
Locally, in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, McDonald's is extending the 60 second drive-thru lunch promotion to the end of September, one month longer than the rest of the state. Like the South Florida promotion, if the food is not delivered within 60 seconds, patrons will get a coupon for a free lunch item.
