The restaurants won’t have drive-thrus, the article stated, and will incorporate design features that are intended to fit into the local area.

Additional digital services like mobile ordering will be offered. The article stated that the new stores will be more eco-friendly, using LED lighting and recycled material. Tapas-style shareable items will be added to the menus at designated times.
