You know service is slow. Now see which step.
Visbi times each step of the visit at every location: the line, the order, the hand-off, the pass. So you fix the step that's slow, instead of telling the whole team to hurry.
90 seconds, no uploads. You'll see which steps your cameras can likely time.
Your timers give you a number. Not the step behind it.
Most groups already time service in pieces. Each piece is useful, and none of them shows where the minutes go between them.
Drive-thru timer
Sees: Stage times for every car in the lane.
Misses: The walk-in counter, and why a stage ran long.
Kitchen display
Sees: Ticket times, from fire to bump.
Misses: Plates waiting at the pass after the bump.
Point of sale
Sees: Order and payment times, and the average.
Misses: The line before the order, and the hand-off after it.
Visbi
The steps between them, on the counter, in the lane and on the floor, next to the numbers they already give you.
Misses: anything out of camera view. Your Readiness Audit shows what's covered before you commit.
Visbi doesn't replace your lane timer or kitchen display. They keep their own numbers.
Every step of the visit, timed.
You set a target for each step. Visbi times every visit in view against it, so you see which step slows, on which shift, at which location.

Example targets shown. What Visbi can time depends on what your cameras cover, and your Readiness Audit confirms it for each location before you commit. Every time is labelled with its clock and its source: your lane timer, your kitchen display, or the camera.
One number hides the step.
Longer in the drive-thru when service was unfriendly: 6:57 total time, against 5:23. Slow often starts at the window, not in the kitchen.
Average service time across the brands studied, order to exit. Total time, from joining the lane, runs longer. Visbi always says which clock it's showing.

A slow step costs more than a minute. It costs the next visit.
Pick what guests say is slow, and see which step it points to and what it puts at risk.
Count every channel: online reviews, surveys, comment cards, and what guests tell your managers.
Pick what guests say is slow.
Those guests won't tell you. Your floor will.
Book an Audit →Your estimate, based on Qualtrics XM Institute (2025): fewer than 1 in 3 guests with a bad experience tell the business, and 62% of fast-food guests stop or cut back after one. That's the closest published figure for restaurants. We count half the visits they'd have made.
From your targets to the next rush.
- 01
Your targets
A target time for each step, by daypart, from your own SOP.
- 02
Every visit timed
On the cameras you already have. Connect your POS, kitchen display or lane timer, and their times sit alongside.
- 03
The slow step
From day 14: which step slows, on which shift, at which location. A pattern, not one bad rush.
- 04
The move, while it matters
Once your limits are set, a line past your limit sends an alert to the manager's phone in seconds to minutes. Each week, the one fix worth making first.
The clock is on the step, not the person.
Your team should know exactly what's being timed, and what isn't.
