The Fast Track 2+2/386 2000 Series Timer (herein also referred to as the Timer) helps you
operate a drive-thru store more efficiently and profitably by tracking the progress of customer
vehicles through the ordering and delivery process. Management and staff can use this
information in crucial ways:
# To analyze service time
# To improve productivity
# To set performance goals and incentives
# To measure performance
# To predict staffing requirements based on past experience
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
# To compare shifts, seasons, and stores
1-2Elements of a Fast Track 2+2/386 2000 Series Timer
A Timer consists of the following elements:
# A Main Console with:
H a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
H Status Lights for monitoring eight stations
H a Thermal Printer
H a Keypad for controlling system operation
# Up to five large, LED Remote Displays that show time and give performance information
by flashing average times during non-active timing. These Displays use a series of audio
beeps to indicate satisfaction of performance goals. A sixth LED Two-Color Remote
Display is used as a Special Percentage Remote. It displays the percentage of cars that
satisfies the A-grade target time on any selected event.
# Sensor data channels that detect vehicles in the drive-thru lanes. (Loops embedded in the
drive-thru pavement are a typical kind of vehicle sensor.)
# Communication sensor data channels that detect conversation between employees and
customers.

USER GUIDE
A fully functional system requires a customer-furnished Intercom, Menu Board Loop with
Vehicle Detector and the Fast Track 2+2/386 2000 Series Timer. At a minimum, the Timer
contains a Main Console and a Remote Display. The Main Console interfaces with the
customer-furnished Intercom and V ehicle Detector, Window Loops, and from one to six Remote
Displays.
The Timer can work with a single or double lane drive-thru restaurant. A typical fast food restaurant with two drive-thru lanes is pictured below: Side A is the primary drive-thru lane, with
the driver seated closest to the cashier (WIN1) and service windows (WIN2). Side B is the secondary drive-thru lane, with the car passenger closest to the cashier and service windows. Each
lane has a communications system (Intercom) and three Loops to detect cars. One Loop is
locatedattheMenuBoard,anotheratWIN1,andathirdatWIN2onbothSideAandSideB.
The Loops allow the Timer to detect when cars arrive and leave the Loop locations.

1-4Using The Fast Track 2+2/386 2000 Series Timer
You can select, group, and analyze any of the data the Timer collects, with the Timer providing
both detail and summary reports showing how vehicles move through your drive-thru. Reports
print automatically on a regular schedule.
When the Timer is installed, it is programmed to automatically display data and produce reports
based on your store’s requirements. You view its various types of data on many different display
screens, and the system allows you to modify its functions to fit your requirements.
As cars arrive and depart from your drive-thru stations, the Timer adds database event records
that include date and time of day information for reporting and comparison. These include:
# Event records when your communications system is used to greet cars
# Status records for events like application of power or entry of a security password
# Exception records for unusual conditions
NOTE: TheTimer’s memory management should meet your needs. When its memory is full,
it deletes the oldest data as required to free space and then continues recording new
data. If you have a legitimate reason for discarding all your historical data, select
[RESET MEMORY] to display the Clear Memory screen.
You will use only a few of the Timer’s many features on a daily basis. A numeric password or
Access Code – to protect your configuration from accidental changes – is required to use some
of these features.
This manual will show you how to use these powerful tools.

USER GUIDE
The Main Console’s interface with the customer-furnished Intercom and Vehicle Detector
allows the Timer to detect a vehicle that has been greeted via Intercom upon arrival at the Menu
Board. Window Loops allow the Timer to detect the car’s arrival at and departure from the cashier and service window and/or other detection points. For simplicity, the following sequence of
events assumes that there are Loops at the Cashier Window and Pick-Up Window:
1.A vehicle arrives at the Menu Board where the Loop detects its presence. A VEHICLE
PRESENCE SIGNAL is sent by the Vehicle Detector to the Main Console which starts the timing
sequence.
2.An employee keys the Intercom microphone to greet the customer. The employee’s voice
generates a GREET CANCEL signal that is sent to the Main Console which records the 1-2 time
as the GREET time.
3.When the vehicle departs from the Menu Board deactivating the Menu Board Loop, the
VEHICLE PRESENCE SIGNAL discontinues. The Main Console interprets the 1-3 time as the
MENU time.
4.When the vehicle arrives at the Cashier Loop, a VEHICLE PRESENCE SIGNAL is sent to the
Main Console. The Main Console interprets the 3-4 time as WAIT time.
5.When the vehicle departs from the cashier's window deactivating the Cashier Loop the VEHICLE
PRESENCE SIGNAL discontinues. The Main Console interprets the 4-5 time as the Cashier time.
6.When the vehicle arrives at the Pick-Up Loop, a VEHICLE PRESENCE SIGNAL is sent to the
Main Console. The Main Console interprets the 5-6 time as WAIT time.
7.When the vehicle departs from the pick-up window, deactivating the Pick-Up Loop, the
VEHICLE PRESENCE SIGNAL discontinues. The Main Console interprets the 6-7 time as PickUp time. Additionally the Main Console interprets the 1-7 time as this customer's total Line Time.

USER GUIDE
NOTE: A Manual Report can provide the answer to almost any kind of question you might
ask about your data. Use a Manual Report to see how your store is meeting
performance standards, to compare shifts or time periods, and for many other useful
purposes. Defining and producing a Manual Report is easy and becomes very natural
with some practice. The information the Timer needs to produce reports is entered
using a short sequence of one, two, or three screens.
Produce Manual Reports on your Main Console display screen or on the Thermal
Printer. You can also generate a screen report and then use the <PRINT DISPLAY>
key to print a copy of the screen. (If you should need to stop printing of a report or
series of reports, press the <CLEAR> key.)
The various types of report screens that you can select follow:
12-1.1Daily, Weekly ,and Monthly Reports
These screens let you set reporting for one or more daily, weekly, or monthly time periods.
The Daily, Weekly, and Monthly screens are very similar except for the time period differ-
ences. You can select the current period and/or one or more of the seven most recent periods.
Alternatively, you can select every period within a range of dates that you specify. This lets
you access all of the historical data stored in the Timer. In either case, individual reports will
be produced for each specified period. If your report includes multiple time periods, one
report will be produced for each period. The screen rows correspond to time periods for which
data will be reported. You select reporting for one of these periods by using <ARROWS> to
move to the corresponding row and then using the <+> or <-> key to toggle reporting for the
period on or off.
