Wouldn't that be like an English-speaking person saying "good?" when they pick up? I don't get it.

Alot of times is sounds like wheno but it is bueno and it is just a shortened way to say their polite daily greetings like buenos dias, buenas tarde, and buenas noche.

I wondered this exact same thing today while driving past "Taco Bueno". After a few minutes of thought, I figured it was a half-azz lazy way of saying "Good day/morning/night."
