DRIVE-THRU CHANGE BEING MADE TO INCREASE SPEED + SAFETY
It's true that for some cash is king, but if they are headed to a Portillo's Drive-Thru after January 16, 2023, they better come prepared with their credit or debit card.
According to NBC 5 Chicago, Portillo's announced on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, that all of its restaurant locations will stop accepting cash for drive-thru orders beginning January 16, 2023. Portillo's is hoping this change will make the drive-thru ordering process faster for customers and safer for their employees at the same time.
We asked a few of our readers what they thought about the change:
"Cashless transactions are becoming more and more the norm these days. I'll still be there in the drive-thru on my lunch break– nothing can stop me! Portillo's is my FAVE" – Laura K., Naperville
"Makes total sense and I love how it's not just to speed things up in the drive-thru, but to also help keep their employees safe. Keep up the great work Portillo's!" – Sandra M., Batavia
