Real app · first partners announcing soon
Pull up. »It's ready.
Your usual drive-thru order, fired and paid the moment you arrive. No menu board. No line at the window.
Your usual“Iced latte, oat milk”
Free for drivers. No subscription. No markup.
How it works »The problem
The drive-thru is broken in three ways.
So we deleted all three.
The moment
You're driving.
Same road. Same craving. The app is closed and your phone is in the cupholder.
No tap
Your phone notices.
A quiet geofence wakes Zipp-Thru as you get close. You do nothing.
No talk
Fired. Paid. » On the rail.
Your usual hits the kitchen before you reach the lane.
No line
Pull up. » It's ready.
You just arrive — and so does your order.

DRIVE-THRU
Keep scrolling
How it works
Save it once. Then forget it.
1Save your usual
Build a meal at any participating drive-thru and tap Save as preset. We remember it.
2Drive up
When you approach the store, your phone wakes up — even if Zipp-Thru is closed.
3Made & paid
Tap to confirm (or let it auto-fire). Your card charges, the order hits the kitchen.
4Grab and go
Pull up to the window with your pickup code. Bag in hand, back on the road.
Built for the lane.
Cross-brand presets
Save a usual at Daybreak Donuts, another at Cluck & Co., another at the local coffee shop. They all live in one place.
More than one usual
Save multiple usuals per chain. As you arrive, pick which one — or let auto-fire run if you only have one.
Auto-fire with a cancel window
For your most-trusted preset. 25-second grace period — tap to cancel if you change your mind.
Real driving distance + ETA
Every store card shows actual driving distance and travel time. Not “as the crow flies.”
Card on file, fired automatically
Tokenized via Stripe. We never store your card number.
Made for in-car
Big tap targets, voice-friendly, CarPlay coming.
Rewards
Every run earns Zipps.
The loyalty program lives in the same app — no punch cards, no separate accounts per chain. Earn on every pickup, spend at any participating window.
Every pickup pays. 5 Zipps per $1, every single run.
Off-peak = double. Order 2–4pm and earn 2× Zipps.
Keep your streak. Pull up once a week to keep it alive.
Cash in at the window. $2 off a run, a free drink, or a whole free meal.
Privacy, up front.
Location
Only checked against a small ring around your saved spots. We don't track your day.
Card
Tokenized at our payment processor. The raw number never touches Zipp-Thru servers.
Presets & orders
Stay on your device. Sent to a restaurant only when you fire.
For operators
Your drive-thru, more efficient — without changing your POS.
Zipp-Thru routes pre-paid drive-up orders straight into your existing Square / Toast system. Tickets print the same way they always have. We label them so your staff knows. You don't touch anything.
Connect Square in 30 seconds
OAuth. No new hardware. No new training.
Higher window throughput
Orders already made by the time the car arrives means less time at the window per car — more cars per hour.
Loyal repeat customers
Once a customer saves a usual at your shop, they come back to your shop — not the chain across the street.
Questions
How much does it cost?▾
Nothing — Zipp-Thru is free for drivers. No subscription, no service fee, no markup: you pay exactly what's on the restaurant's menu. Participating restaurants pay us to run their lane.
Is my location tracked?▾
No. We only check whether you've entered a small ring (~200m) around a place you've saved. We never log where you are or sell location data.
What if I change my mind after auto-fire?▾
You get a 25-second cancel window after auto-fire submits. Tap cancel — we void the charge before the kitchen sees it.
What if the restaurant gets the order wrong?▾
Same recourse as if you'd ordered at the window — talk to them. We'll work with operators on a refund process for failed pickups in Phase 2.
Do I have to use this with one chain only?▾
No. That's the whole point — save usuals at as many participating drive-thrus as you want. The right one fires depending on which lane you're in.
Which restaurants are on it?▾
We're securing our first design partners now and adding chains as fast as their POS systems let us. Join the waitlist to hear when your spot is live.
Why iPhone only at launch?▾
iOS background geofencing is the most reliable. Android version planned for Phase 2.
Will this work in the rain / bad GPS?▾
The geofence is forgiving (200m ring) and we fall back to your home address for ETA estimates. Yes.
