Why not just have a touchscreen menu then? You already need large screens so people can confirm the AI recorded their order correctly and this will skip the need of a person manning the drive through menu. You could even include options to "hold the pickle", etc.
I've often wondered this, they have them inside all the stores here but not on the drive throughs
Maybe it's an issue of weatherproofing, or maybe vandalism?
Maybe, but they already have screens there so this wouldn't change much. I guess reaching a screen from your car could be a bit awkward though.
ATMs have tackled both issues for decades.
