> I wonder how it would interpret a horse... Surely you don't intend to imply that the horse is ordering. Give that, there are all manner of sensors to detect the presence of an automobile or horse in the drive through and notify staff or the AI that someone wants to place an order. My understanding is that this is a solved problem. Staff get an alert/announcement chime or recording about someone waiting because the electronics detected something. Why a horse would pose a challenge is a mystery to me. Sure, there are some devices that will work less effectively as sensors for a horse than a car, but your particular franchise just adapts to the correct sensors for its traffic.

Haha no (should have explained), but riders are too high to be heard due to the directional microphones installed and you only effectively hear the horse. Same for very high seated cars (though I suspect this might be different in the US). Trucks are too tall and would hit the building so they are not a consideration for the one I worked at. As you said, a simple alert system might work to solve this.
