FAST FOOD chain Hungry Jacks has officially declared NSW is the laziest state in the country by introducing a drive thru E-Tag for breakfast — meaning customers no longer have to talk in the mornings when ordering.

The Brekk-E-Tag aims to change the breakfast drive-thru experience in Australia by allowing customers to save their regular breakfast order onto the E-Tag system.

When approaching the drive-thru, they can go straight past the speaker box — where a ‘beep’ will sound to let the driver know their order has been detected inside the restaurant.

The driver proceeds through to pay and collect for their order, and maybe throw in a “thank you” if they’re feeling generous.

Basically, it’s for those of us who are not morning people — and literally don’t even want to open their mouth and order a coffee on their commute.

“The clever Brekk-E-Tag initiative is aimed at customers that aren’t particularly a morning person or those looking for that extra convenience in their busy morning,” the release read.

“Brekk-E-Tag is designed to appeal to mums on the morning school run, tradies leaving for work in the early hours of the morning and regular Hungry Jack’s breakfast consumers on the go.”

Hungry Jack’s will trial the technology at their Tumbi Umbi store on the NSW Central Coast, with the aim of rolling out the e-tag devices nationally.

Like the tags used to collect tolls, Brekk-E-Tag works off a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based technology. The RFID receivers will be set up in store, and have a range of 5-8 metres.

The technology will be positioned so that the tag can be read before a drive-thru customer reaches the regular speaker box, but will not interfere with any other E-Tag systems already on the road.

“Customers go through the Hungry Jack’s drive-thru not only for the great tasting food but also because it is convenient and quick, we’re always striving for ways to make that experience even better,” Hungry Jack’s Chief Marketing Officer, Scott Baird said of the technology.

“We can’t wait to see how our customers respond to the technology and hopefully soon we’ll see it in more of our restaurants across the country.”

Clipping on to your car’s windscreen, customers can order and activate their Brekk-E-Tag by registering their tag ID and saving their favourite breakfast order at brekk-e-tag.com.au.
