The retailer is also offering a free sandwich for first-time Love's Connect App users.

Love’s Travel Stops has launched its innovative order ahead service, powered by Bite, at 92 Love’s owned and operated Hardee’s locations across the U.S. — a service launched earlier this year at Love’s Arby’s and Carl’s Jr. locations.

This enhancement provides customers with more flexibility to customize the contents and timing of their orders, making the Love’s Connect App a one-stop-shop for all travelers’ needs.

Customers can search for a participating Hardee’s location in the Love’s Connect App. If order ahead is available, an icon that says “Order Now” will display in the restaurant section. Instead of waiting in line, customers can explore the menu and specify their preferred pick-up time (up to one hour ahead) and pay online. When their order is ready, customers can collect their order from a restaurant team member.

To celebrate the launch, Love’s is offering customers a special promotion to try order ahead for the first time. From Sept. 29 to Oct. 26, customers can use the Love’s Connect App to order ahead and get a free single Famous Star or Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit with a $5 minimum purchase.

At checkout, professional drivers can use their My Love Rewards number to redeem points and deals on their transactions.

In addition to Hardee’s, Arby’s and Carl’s Jr., Love’s is proactively working to add order ahead options to additional restaurant concepts including Bojangles and Taco John’s.

Headquartered in Oklahoma City with nearly 40,000 team members in North America and Europe, Love’s core business is travel stops and convenience stores with 664 locations in 42 states.
