Here's what I don't understand.

McDonalds has an app. McDonalds also does mobile orders like ubereats. Why not use your own app to allow ordering from the app, so you can be 5 minutes away, order, and when you get there it's already paid for, you just pick it up.

It eliminates extra fees for customers willing to pick up their own food. It eliminates the line. It reduces the wrong orders (as most mistakes happen from the register worker not ringing it up right to begin with). And no AI needed.

Why is this so hard?

I'm not going to download and install an app for every damn restaurant I want to eat at.

Then wait in line. I don't get what you're suggesting.

Website should be sufficient.
