It's been over a decade since I worked fast food, but when I did, it was almost entirely for metrics. Had to keep every order under so many seconds or the manager would be talked to by district.

I recall this being part of it - keeping orders under the 2-minute mark. That being said, where I worked, people resisted doing it arbitarily for this reason. There are the times where it made logistical sense - ie someone orders a crispy chicken blah blah blah and the chicken will be 4 more minutes while the people behind are getting coffees, muffins, burgers that are ready, etc. so yeah, a lot of fast food places sink or swim on how sycophantic and dumb the management is.
