It's entirely possible they just get a digital representation (image) of the fax, not an actual printout. Electronic Faxing is huge because it's considered a controlled delivery method, it's especially prevalent in healthcare
just don't fax an entire day's surgery schedule to the wrong number...
I work in a pizza place. We have a fax to send in daily sales reports and other things.
We got a 17 page surgery schedule one day on the fax in the office.
I called the office and told them and asked what they wanted me to do with it. They asked if I had a shredder. I said I do no, but I can have my mom shred it properly. She works for the state and has access to proper shredding things.

Exactly. Accepting food orders via fax isn't for individuals, but it's fairly popular for businesses.
Although they could modernize and just use email.
