McDonalds is effectively an automat at my local store - online ordering either via phone or at the kiosk inside, then pick up your food. Rarely is anyone at the cash register.
The food making itself is just a bunch of lists and devices to quickly make things. If they took out the teenager making it, there wouldn't be a difference.
My local burger king had a grand total of 2 people running the restaurant during covid - one overworked lady taking the orders, filling drinks and fries and bagging the orders and one guy at the grill.
Max efficiency.
Soon it will just be the lady, and she will be filling bags and handing out cups.
