Developing an automated license-plate payment prototype for McAuto
In partnership with BBVA and McDonald's, we developed a pilot for a new McAuto payment system: License Plate Recognition (LPR) payment.


Understanding drive-thru mechanics and customer touchpoints
Our first priority was understanding the drive-thru mechanics. We conducted on-site contextual research at a restaurant to observe employee workflows, vehicle frequency, the physical workspace, and the specific employee-customer interactions at each touchpoint.
Optimizing drive-thru operations
We developed the service blueprint, mapping out employee operations and spatial navigation under two different conditions: high-traffic and low-traffic states.
UI design
To conclude, we designed the interfaces for both the customer and employee apps, paying particular attention to the latter, as users would be in constant motion.
