Project Description
Proposed In-N-Out Burgers Restaurant
5985 and 6037 N. Ten Mile Rd. Meridian, ID
In-N-Out Burgers proposes to develop a new In-N-Out Burger restaurant with a drive-through at 5985
and 6037 N. Ten Mile Rd. in the City of Meridian Idaho.
The proposed In-N-Out restaurant will be 3,886 square feet with indoor seating for 74 guests, and
outdoor seating for 46 guests. The site is approximately 2.2 acres and improvements will include an
approx. 500 square foot covered trash enclosure, a drive-through with dedicated onsite queuing for 29
cars. The drive includes the addition of an escape lane given the drive thru lane exceeds 100 feet.
The proposed IN-N-Out Burger will include 73 onsite parking spaces. The required parking for the
project is 11 spaces.
In-N-Out cooks all its burgers and fries to order— nothing is pre-cooked and there are no cooked food
holding bins. This restaurant will be equipped with three burger grills. Two grills will always operate,
and activation of the third grill will be done in response to high dine-in or, more typically, high drive-
through demand as activating the third grill significantly increases the speed at which drive-through
orders are delivered to customer vehicles. In addition, standard store operating procedure dictates
that as soon as the drive-through queue reaches the 101" car (where the menu board/order speaker is
located) In-N-Out Associates are deployed outside to take orders using hand-held ordering tablets.
The use of these tablets puts orders into the kitchen faster than ordering at the menu board, and,
when combined with increased production from the third grill, the result is extremely fast and efficient
food production with the shortest possible food wait times, and therefore the shortest possible drive-
through vehicle queues.
Awareness of the queue reaching the menu board is enhanced with outdoor cameras and indoor
monitors. There will be between 4 and 6 outdoor cameras on this site, with 3 or 4 of them specifically
viewing the drive-through lane. These cameras display on multiple monitors located inside the
restaurant including at the manager's office, above the grills, and at both the pay and pickup windows.
Construction for the restaurant will be done in a single phase and take approximately 9 months, with a
typical progression of construction activities. These activities, some of which would run concurrently,
include site preparation and limited grading of about 4 to 6 weeks, building construction of about 5
months, paving and striping of about 3 weeks, and landscaping of about 2 weeks.
The restaurant will operate 7 days a week, from 10:30 AM to 1:00 AM Sunday through Thursday, and
from 10:30 AM to 1:30 AM on Friday and Saturday. The restaurant, drive-thru, and parking lot, as
with all In-N-Out Burgers restaurants, will be well-lit and meticulously maintained. The restaurant will
be staffed by approximately 10 to 15 Associates per shift, with 3 shifts per day.
There is no delivery dock or designated delivery parking bay required on the premises as deliveries
are made only by In-N-Out owned and operated vehicles, after the restaurant is closed to the public,
between the hours of 2 AM and 9 AM.
No alcoholic beverages will be served.
