Actually it’s the headset that the drive thru worker wears when someone pulls up to the screen it beeeps incessantly in the headset until you press a button to greet the car and take their order. I worked at Mc Donald’s and Wendys for two years

There is a sensor (usually a half-assed quality of a radar) right next to the speaker, that measures the distance to objects in fromt of the speaker.

No object? No car.

Object close? Got to be a car. Sound a buzzer inside the restaurant.
