UK fast food traffic just had its worst quarter in two years. Meanwhile a South African franchisee, two years into the market, just bought 17 KFCs and committed to 50 by 2030. Downturns don't shrink markets — they transfer sites from tired operators to hungry ones.
UK part-time hiring just hit a 3-year high while business confidence sits at a 4-year low. What the UK needs is a robust plan to turn the ship around, because it's headed the wrong direction.
Last year, of the total $290B venture dollars that was raised by founders, only 0.32% went to black founders. When people ask me why the world needs more black representation, this is why.
Last week QSR traffic trends. McDonald's traffic -3.9%. Wendy's -18%. Burger King -0.7%.
The average consumer is being overly cautious with their spend. Every penny counts. The winning brands will be the ones that offer true value to their customers.
When people ask AI where to eat, McDonald's and Starbucks own the answers. AI search rewards decades of press coverage, not food quality. So every challenger brand that built its growth on TikTok virality just lost its discovery edge.

@ElonMuskAOC If you care about the world, why not set the same limit for everyone, regardless of verification status? 🤔 You are just trying to encourage people to pay for verification - so @Twitter can turn a bit more profit. Saying otherwise is either lying to yourself, or lying to us.
@TalkTV@andrejpwalker@louddanielle There is a sinister reason @TalkTV does not include the "threatening look" in this short clip. I do not agree with Mizzy, but this behaviour here by @andrejpwalker is bullying and disrespectful. No one should be publicly disgraced because they looked at another human being.
Really proud moment to have come to the end of McDonald's world class #Franchisee training programme. Such a superb network of support. I enjoyed every bit of the journey, and absolutely looking forward to the next chapter as a Franchisee.
