    Would be great if when you did rapid order pick up they actually put your order up to grab instead of hold it behind the counter and ignore you when your trying to ask for it

    Rapid pick up is a joke. Food is never ready on time, even when they're empty. Then, if it is ready, it's in the back somewhere and never on the shelf where you can actually grab it and go. Don't bother asking the cooks about it, because they will just ignore you and continue doing what they're doing. It defeats the purpose of "Rapid pick up" if you have to spend time chasing down your order from behind the counter.

    Food was average. Used there "Rapid Pickup", and it took 30 minutes after the pick up time to get ready. Saw plenty of people walking up and ordering faster than myself who "pre ordered the food". They have a sign in there that says "Skip the line, order ahead on the app", Lol. Staff looked careless and no desire to check on my food after I notified them it was past my pickup time. I understand if something happens in the kitchen or something else occurs. But waiting 30 min extra after my pick up time is inexcusable for a sandwich.

    If you order rapid pickup you have to stand in the regular line to wait anyways so there’s no point in ordering ahead - to use rapid pickup…

    Place is actually impressive, if you go in at noon on a week day, they could be 20 orders deep but this place is very well run and the system they have in place knocking out the orders is truly incredible, well done management
