It goes a long way!Third-wave coffee and drive-thrus don’t usually mix, so we rolled across Atlanta to see how our friends at Sequel Coffee Co. are pulling it off! We hit the lane, grabbed a few drinks (and snackies), and talked through what actually makes a specialty drive-thru work: clear signage, friendly face-to-face ordering, and a bar flow that keeps things moving without killing quality. Then we pop inside to chat vibe, team culture, and the little ops choices that make busy mornings feel smooth! If you’ve ever thought, “Could we do a drive-thru?” this episode is the fun, no fluff look at how it can actually click.This week's episode is brought to you by our friends at Odeko: Use our code VALOR10 for 10% off your first supply order!
