@McFranchisee@MichaelSMarlowe@McDonalds When you say dining room, do you
mean most of that $1m goes to furniture, tile, screen, lips, etc in customer area? Not kitchen equipment or tech upgrade? Would assume that is more expensive
@QSRguy You think this applies to any brand?
In our brand, 5 avg stores can be nok efficient amount to own. You are big enough that you can’t be anywhere at once to oversee ops but not big enough to get actual admin support/well paid DM. 5 good stores would be a different story
@gnufs Care to expand? I see it as a positive if MCD thinks franchisee will operate the stores better and with higher SSS.
1,000 stores remaining is enough scale to continue learning from your own operations
@enovinson@MichaelKudrna The franchisor can set requirements to approve a sale (equity requirements, ops experience, financial ratios (LaL, Net debt, EBITDA, etc)) but yes. A franchisee should be able to sale their business. Which means selling the franchisee agreement and lease to a third party
@ibuyrvparks Question - Can you buy market/sub market reports from STR for outdoor concepts? I have done feasibility studies for branded and independent hotels. Curious about your tools/resources for an outdoor development feasibility study
