when i was a kid, drive-thru was ‘new’. one place, instead of redoing the whole building to put in a drive-thru window and work area behind the counter, used a chain-driven basket to carry drive-thru orders that went up and over the dining area then down to a pick-up window.
8-year-old me thought that was just the coolest thing. they operated like that for a decade before finally rebuilding to reposition the building on the lot to better fit a drive-thru lane and pick-up windows.
