World Food Safety Day: Taco Bell opens its first futuristic sci-fi-themed drive-through in Minnesota

A new futuristic service providing drive-thru Taco Bell has opened its doors today to the residents of Minnesota. This brand-new drive-thru, Taco Bell is located at 5931 94th Ave N. The idea is to provide the best quality foods of Taco Bell in the fastest possible way to all drive-thru customers. The options are many to choose from but expect the fastest services in nachos, gorditas, and chalupas. This is the first outlet in line with the Taco Bell Defy, which aspires to be the fastest food outlet yet incorporating innovation and hygiene in new-age dining. For the customers, there are four drive-thru lanes, with the objective of serving customers in less than 2 minutes.

There are also digital screens for faster check-in for pre-booked mobile orders attached to QR codes. Two-way audio and video screens for customers to talk to Taco Bell staff members. Interestingly they also have food lifts that would bring the food to the customers, just at their car stop from the upper floor kitchens. So, this new sci-fi concept is where the brand Taco bell is now heading towards. This new idea of “quickest service possible” was brought in partnership with Border Foods, a large franchisee of Taco Bell. Vertical Works of Minneapolis also contributed to the theme. The opening also coincides with the World Food Safety Day and the year coincides with the 60th anniversary of Taco Bell.

The facilities for “quick service on the move” are encompassing the entire requirements of customers which Taco Bell has studied and incorporated over a period of time.


Pre-orders can be accessed through both the Apple App or Google Play Store and would be able to “skip the cue” facilities. If your order is through a third party their drivers will be able to pick up the orders in record time. A lane has been made exclusively for drive-thru customers for a fast "dinner on the move".

This theme will be further enhanced and incorporated in new outlets of Taco Bell Defy as this is the future of food on the move.
