Depending on the options your favorite DQ® location offers, you may choose to pick up your order inside, curbside, or in the drive thru. You will select your pickup method before you submit your order on the Review Your Order page.
To place an order from the DQ® App, go to the Order tab in the bottom navigation bar. Swipe up on the Menu link to bring up the menu categories. Now you can select and customize menu items.
