At least in Spain, when they offshore remote workers, they always
end up hiring people with accents so hard to understand it gives
a very bad image to the firm.

Shouldn't need to offshore at all... as I mentioned in another response
with back of the napkin level math. You should easily be able to have
one person be able to take 3x the number of orders or more when busy.
There's a lot of down time between one person's order and another's most
of the time... that can be spent taking an order from someone at another location.

Mix in some general AI listening for "ready" and it could be slightly improved.

In order to receive more orders, some drive thru's add a second lane and
order board. That keeps them busy enough if all there's one pay window and th e pickup window only handles food. Some places have three windows, and the
the first two handle payments, and sometimes drinks.

have you actually looked at how busy mcdonalds are? there's not a lot of downtime really. i was doing floors in the children's play areas and i'd have to go in the back for hot water. even at 8pm and later people were moving non stop.

It's looking like there are some designs (starting with taco bell) that actually has the restaurant kitchen above a drive through only setting
with dumb waiters to ~6 drive through stations below. With extra
waiting parking. Mostly to handle delivery services.

Suggestions have been to do similar with ghost kitchens above in a
similar way.
