Every lane meets its approval
Stacking, order points, and bypass lanes are checked against the zoning conditions you upload, so queue problems are fixed before the city sees the site plan.
Enterprise plan review for quick-service and coffee chains
Drive-throughs and kitchens that work on every pad
For Fortune 500 and enterprise quick-service and coffee brands building dozens to hundreds of units and remodels a year. Catch the queue too short for zoning, the menu board with no power, and the brewer with no drain before a short build schedule starts.
- Drive-through prototypes
- Pickup-only units
- End-cap conversions
- In-line conversions
- Remodels and reimages
- Double drive-throughs
First project free. Volume pricing for 500+ projects a year.
Why teams use Groundbook
What your program gains
Small kitchens, fully coordinated
Each piece of equipment is checked for its water, drain, power, and hood coverage, where every trade meets at the same wall.
Remodels done in the closure window
Remodel work is checked against existing conditions before the crew arrives, so a short closure is not spent solving surprises.
AI plan review for quick-service restaurants is a first-pass check of each unit's drawings against each other, the specifications, your prototype and equipment package, and the building code at the site. Groundbook returns possible conflicts and missing information with links to the exact sheets, so the brand's development team and the architect of record can fix them before permit, bid, and a short construction schedule.
How it gets there
Common checks for quick-service and coffee chains
Each row is a place where the documents for one site often disagree. The review compares them and returns each possible conflict with the sheets it came from.
| Area | What is compared | A question a finding raises |
|---|---|---|
| Drive-through and stacking | Lane geometry, stacking count, and bypass lane on the site plan against the civil set and zoning conditions | Does the site plan show the stacking spaces the zoning approval requires between the order point and the pickup window? |
| Order point and menu boards | Menu board, speaker post, canopy, and vehicle detector locations against site electrical and low-voltage plans | Do the menu boards and speaker post on the site plan have conduit and power on the site electrical sheet? |
| Pickup window and mobile orders | Pickup window, mobile-order shelf, and walk-up counter against the floor plan, equipment plan, and storefront | Does the pickup window on the floor plan match the window type and opening on the exterior elevation? |
| Beverage and kitchen equipment | Equipment schedule against water treatment, floor sinks, indirect drains, circuits, and hood coverage | Does every brewer and ice machine on the equipment schedule have filtered water, an indirect drain, and a dedicated circuit? |
| Accessibility | Entry, ordering counter, restrooms, and pickup areas against the accessibility code | Is part of the ordering and pickup counter at accessible height, with clear floor space in front of it? |
| Remodels and conversions | New work against existing-condition drawings for in-line, end-cap, and reimage projects | Does the new hood exhaust route on the remodel set clear the existing roof framing shown on the existing-conditions sheet? |

In the program
Where Groundbook fits
Set the references
Upload the current prototype, equipment package, and drive-through standards. Every new unit and remodel is checked against them.
Review before permit
Run a review on each site set as soon as it is issued. Findings come back in 20 minutes to 24 hours, each linked to the sheet that raised it.
Compare remodel to existing
Overlay the remodel plan on the existing floor plan with Smart Overlay to see what moves, what stays, and what was missed.
Hand off to the field
Assign findings, comment, and export a report or marked-up drawings, or send issues to Fieldwire for the construction team.
Enterprise
Built to roll out across a program
The review is the same on every plan. Enterprise changes how you buy it, sign in, connect it, and get help.
Predictable cost at any volume
Volume pricing for programs reviewing 500 or more projects a year, or prepaid credits for up to 15% off. Every review shows its price before you pay.
A fast yes from IT and legal
SSO and MFA, an audit trail, granular access levels, and on-prem or US hosting. Encrypted, never used to train models, and an NDA on request.
Findings where your teams already work
Import from Autodesk Construction Cloud (including Revit sheets), SharePoint, Egnyte, ProjectWise, Box, and more, and send findings into your own systems with the REST API, CLI, or a custom integration.
A team that knows your program
A direct line to our team for onboarding, your review checklists and standards, code sources, and questions about findings.

Questions, answered
What program teams ask
Can Groundbook review drive-through site plans?
Yes. Upload the site plan, civil sheets, and your drive-through standard or zoning conditions as references. The review compares the stacking, order point, menu board, and site utility information across those documents and links each possible issue to its sheet.
Does it work on remodels of open restaurants?
Yes. Upload the existing-condition drawings with the remodel set. The review flags where new work conflicts with what is there, so those conflicts can be resolved before the closure starts.
How is pricing set for a program with many sites?
Programs reviewing 500 or more projects a year get volume pricing. Smaller programs can buy prepaid credits for up to 15% off. Every review shows its exact price before you pay, and the first project is free.
Does Groundbook replace the architect of record or plan check?
No. Groundbook surfaces possible issues with links to their sources. The architects and engineers of record, your own team, and the authority having jurisdiction remain responsible for every decision.
Where is our project data stored?
On AWS in the United States by default, or on-prem for programs that need it, encrypted at rest and in transit. Project data is never used to train models and is visible only to the people you invite. SSO and MFA, an NDA, and security questionnaires are available on request.
