Chick-fil-A works in collaboration with McCann New York to design the Brake Stop, which is a new rest stop that invites delivery drivers to stop and catch a break. It can be found on Third Avenue between 83rd and 84th street, which is often a busy location where many riders pass through.
There, they can safely secure their bikes at the indoor docks and then access features including charging ports, free coffee and tea, restrooms, Wi-Fi, and more. Speaking about the new project, Jor Saracino, the Senior Vice President at Chick-fil-A notes that "We created The Brake Room as a small gesture, a little thing to thank them for all they do to serve our guests, especially in a market experiencing high demand in sometimes harsh winter weather conditions."
