Covid-19: Website helping Aucklanders beat drive-thru queues

From Morning Report, 7:57 am on 23 September 2021

Getting your fast food fix at Auckland's drive-thrus is no easy feat, but one website's trying to ease the frustration of waiting hours in line for a good fry-up.

Time in the Line is a crowdsourced website, which shows the wait time at places like supermarkets, as well as Covid-19 testing and vaccination centres.

A new feature for fast food outlets went live hours before the city dropped to Level 3, and already, it's shown Aucklanders have the patience of a saint.

Website's designer Ben Crawford spoke to Corin Dann.
