Coca-Cola Freestyle 8100 brings beverage variety, quality and speed to drive-thrus
Company debuts new dispenser model at 2022 National Restaurant Association Show
The Coca-Cola Co., Atlanta, announced the launch of Coca-Cola Freestyle 8100, a new back-of-house dispenser developed specifically for the crew-serve occasion. The new dispenser’s advanced technology streamlines drink pouring for foodservice crews, helping reduce drive-thru wait times for diners while providing the beverage quality and variety they crave, according to the company. The next-generation dispenser is debuting at the 2022 National Restaurant Association Show on May 21 in Chicago.
Drive-thru traffic has increased dramatically over the past two years, initially spurred by the pandemic and concerns over public spaces, which led to fewer people dining inside of restaurants. Even as COVID restrictions eased and dining rooms across the country reopened, drive-thru traffic has remained high compared with previous years, it notes.
