Would fast food bibs, available on request, be a win-win and promote more sales of the messier menu items?

Question

Food spill accidents do happen even when careful and 60% of business comes from the drive thru yet most food too messy to eat in the car as the D-Thru was designed for convenience ie. dashboard diners. Theres nothing convenient about accidentally ruining your clothes on the way to work or meeting and the hassle to keep from it. It's easier to just avoid the D-thru in those situations therefore you don't enjoy a meal and the restaurant loses a sale. Maybe a specialty disposable travel bib would solve that problem?

Answer 1

Its a OK idea but most people would be embarrassed to be seen in them

Answer 2

Great Idea.  Here is a link to someone offering a product for what you describe.  

I like the pocket at the bottom to catch those bits that miss your mouth that can be saved for later consumption.

Maybe one like this could be won by points or through a game giveaway.

There are disposable ones that are made for people in wheel chairs.  At less than 9¢ each they could easily be added as an option on the menu.

Answer 3

But then you might look like a 2 year old with a bib on...most people are too concerned with how they look, so while a good idea in theory, it may not work. I think it should be an option available to customers, though.

Answer 4

Great idea.
