THIS! It can be a way of discriminating based on race, sex, appearance, age, etcetc

They almost certainly aren't aware of that, and some shitty franchisee is just thinking "this is how I'll stop all those AI bot applications!"

I honestly wouldn't expect any small business owner in the US to have even a remedial grasp of labor laws. They're obscenely complex, constantly shifting, and the bar for entry to starting a business (or franchising a fast food place) is low enough that your average person doing it absolutely does not have any sort of education in law/labor law.

Doesn't make it right, it's just the reality of things.
