A Fast Food Restaurant without a drive thru nor parking ? It’s going to go bankrupt in like a week. - @waroncars7782
Remember, McDonalds is a real estate business first and foremost. Unfortunately they’ll be around until the end of time.
A good way to not deal with this is stop eating their shit food.
I’ve stepped into a McDonald’s less than 10 times in my life.
In what way is McDonalds a real estate business? Asking out of curiosity.
Short answer, they have about $50Bn in reality assets, and rent them to the franchisees.
Food Theory did an episode that covers exactly this.
TL:DW McDonalds owns the land and the franchise owner pays rent.
Where I live they only serve pedestrians, it was always like that, for years, because there’s just no space, it’s all a walking city. They are still packed with people each day, straight from 7 AM there are dozens of people ordering there.
avg drive through is like 6-10 cars before nobody can enter line, just keep that in mind when you see a lunch rush at a place where hundreds of people are in 5 min walking distance from work or home.
How will they stay in business with only the hundreds of pedestrians for customers???
