Velocity Timer

Turn every second into profit

Ai-powered drive-thru timing analytics maximize throughput, reduce wait times, and eliminate revenue-killing drive-offs.

Why choose Velocity Timer

In quick‑service restaurants, every second at the drive‑thru matters — lost time doesn’t just slow service, it drives customers away. Each drive‑off is more than a missed order; it’s lost revenue, lost loyalty, and a blow to brand reputation.

Traditional timers only measure how long service takes. i3’s Velocity Timer goes further: an AI‑powered solution that tracks every phase of the customer journey with smart cameras and POS integration, giving operators real‑time visibility into bottlenecks and preventing costly drive‑offs.

The result? Faster service, higher throughput, engaged employees, and actionable insights.
