Bavis Daily: Drive-thru News and Insights

Bavis Fabacraft has partnered with AEC Daily to launch a new continuing education course designed specifically for architects, engineers, and design professionals.

Bavis’ Tyler Munn sat down with Cherise Lakeside, host of ARCAT’s Detailed podcast, at AIA25 in Boston to share insights around specifying and installing drive-thru systems. A special thanks to the ARCAT team for the invite and to everyone who helped put this episode together.

Get an up-close look at how Bavis engineers electric transaction drawers for ultimate reliability. You'll see the redesigned standard three-button panel along with the drawer motor and bin action. Having only 2 mechanically driven parts reduces the fail rate of Bavis drawers, meaning more drive-thru or walk-up uptime and lower maintenance costs to the customer.

A frequent question that comes up during the procurement process is how do Bavis windows actually mount into the wall structure of the building. Dave McCartt answers that question in all of 90 seconds in this short demo video. Whether you're installing a standard Premium Window, Basic Window or Window-Drawer Combination Unit, the process is the same. It also should be noted that these windows ship as shown in order to make installation fast and easy. Take a look!
