If you have to drive somewhere I've learned to use the app to order pickup ahead of time. Saves a huge amount of time and wasted gas, and the same pattern works regardless of your transportation method.

Mcdonald's doesn't start making your order until your phone geolocates in their parking lot. It's mildly infuriating.

Those can be faked relatively easily

I can use the "order and pay" function without location by picking the restaurant in the list.

Yes. I do that no problem.

They don't start making my order until I "check in" When I'm physically in the parking lot.
