ATLANTA — Chick-fil-A announced Thursday they are testing two new restaurant concepts, one of which will be located in metro Atlanta.

Guests at the restaurant can either order their food from a team member or use a dedicated mobile lane for orders placed ahead on the Chick-fil-A app.

The kitchen will be built above the drive-thru lanes and meals will be “expedited to the Team Member who delivers the order directly to the customer in a space protected by the upper level.
