Claim 13:
14. A method to communicably connect a transportable autonomous robotic merchandise dispensing drive thru computer processor, a corporate headquarters, a customer application,
where said customer application is downloadable to a personal mobile device,
and where said computer processor is configured to communicably connect transmit and receive information to a plurality of merchandise lockers,
and packaging material lockers,
one or more electronic racks,
one or more coolers,
one or more freezers,
one or more cooking devices,
one or more beverage dispensing devices,
one or more packaging devices,
one or more conveying systems,
one or more touchscreens each with a code scanner,
a sanitizing and cleaning system,
a merchandise distribution hub,
a service application, where said service application is downloadable to a delivery driver's mobile device,, the method including:
receiving an order through the customer application
the computer processor issues an order code and pickup time that is sent back through the customer application, then
instruction is issued to the merchandise lockers, one or more cooking devices, one or more beverage dispensing devices, one or more packaging devices, one or more conveying systems,
and order code information is received at one or more touchscreens each with a code scanner,
merchandise and packaging material locker send information including, but not limited to, inventory, item specifications, item location, item expiration and item temperature,
information received by the computer processor regarding inventory is sent to a merchandise distribution hub and through the service application to a delivery driver's mobile device,
and where the computer processor receives inventory specific information through the service application during delivery of lockers to a facility,
inventory specific information is received to the computer processor as each merchandise and packaging material locker is loaded in the electronic rack,
when an order code is read by a code scanner, order code information is received by the computer processor and instruction is issued to one or more conveying systems to retrieve the order received for that order code,
and where data is received by the computer processor as an order is picked up and a door on a window closes, the computer processor issues instruction for sanitizing of a serving compartment and sanitizing of a touchscreen and code scanner,, and where after 23 hours of operation of said drive thru facility the computer processor issues instruction for a shut down during cleaning and sanitizing,
communicating with one or more cooking devices, one or more beverage dispensing devices, one or more conveying systems and packaging devices for lockdown during sanitizing cycle,
communication between the computer processor and each cooking device, beverage dispensing device, conveying system, sanitizing system, electronic rack, merchandise and packaging material lockers, touchscreens and code readers, generator, battery bank, solar panels, freezers, coolers,
where data includes but is not limited to temperature, motion, instruction, location, operation error, humidity, quantity, device specific operation information, and liquid levels,
wherein said sanitizing system is three part:
where a first part is a plurality of sprayers arranged throughout the interior of the facility but not in the utility compartment, one or more freezers, one or more coolers and not in the merchandise and packaging material locker areas and where said sanitizing system part is programmed to sanitize once per 24 hour period and where said facility's computer processor sends instruction for shut down to all cooking devices, beverage dispensing devices, conveying systems and packaging devices during the sanitizing cycle, and where said facility computer processor continues to receive orders and adds time to a customer pickup time, and where any water and/or debris resulting from said sanitizing cycle is drained into said grey water compartment,
where a second part of said sanitizing system is a UV light in each serving compartment that sanitizes said serving compartment after each order is removed by a customer,
and where a third part of said sanitizing system is a UV light located above each touchscreen and code scanner and where said UV light is run over the touchscreen and code scanner after each customer has used it;

and the computer processer sends information to a customer application to alter a menu of items when an operation error has been received by the computer processor from the aforementioned devices or systems when a shut down message is received by a device or system, and all data received or sent by the computer processor is sent to a corporate headquarters.
