I have their app on my cell phone which converts "in-line" time to "on-
line" time. They have a "Biggie Bag" deal which gives you a double-stack
cheeseburger (two patties), a Jr. bacon cheeseburger (single patty) or
a "Crispy Chicken" with small fries, 4 chicken nuggets (regular or spicy)
and a small drink for U$5. Another dollar will get you a Bacon Double
Stack or a BLT crispy chicken in the bag instead of their entry level
brothers. I do that a couple tiomes per week when getting off shift
and heading for home. Saves stopping at the cashier and the order is
ready before I get to the delivery window.

Several things at play here ... I'm not a fan of Chick Filly, even if
I could order ahead on-line or in an app I'd still have to wait for
the line to creep forward. And the CFA store is about as far from me as
it can be and still be in the same city. Within a few blocks I have a
McDonald's, a Herdee's, and a Freddies Frozen Custard & Burgers in a
little cluster. A little further out I have Popeyes, Wendy's Taco Bell,
Burger Whop, Arbee's, Culver's, and several wing-ding places, as well
as a Subway, Jimmy John's, Chipotle, and a Panda Express for Chinese
Fats Food.
