Starbucks allows you to order from home, and drive to the store. The ones I go to usually have my Americano waiting for me when I get there.

Starbucks also seems to allow store managers to shut down app orders if the store is too busy.

McDonald’s—-I’m a connoisseur—-allows you to order through their app, but they clearly don’t start orders until the customer speaks their order code to one of the outdoor kiosks. The only parallelism is between the customer waiting for the order and them making the order.

I like McDonald’s vanilla lattes but I hate McDonald’s Americanos.
