They need to check out McBroken and ID the "bad" franchisees that way.storewanderer wrote: ↑February 10th, 2024, 12:11 pmSome of the franchisees have messed pricing up so bad I question if the brand is broken beyond repair in the US. Need a major corporate takeover of thousands of units to fix operations, fix pricing, and then refranchise stores with much tighter standards.pseudo3d wrote: ↑February 10th, 2024, 11:57 amIt is frustrating. Half the menu was killed for COVID and never brought back, and they're stifling the franchisees, which once gave the chain unique locations and items.Alpha8472 wrote: ↑February 10th, 2024, 3:10 am The McDonald's menu is so bland these days. They haven't come out with anything really new in years. It is all the same menu as always, and yet people flock to the restaurant and the drive thru lines are long. Why innovate when people keep lining up for the same stuff?
I'm dead serious--the milkshake machine's current operations is an excellent indicator of the restaurant as a whole.
