@McFranchisee @McDonalds Gotcha, we allow for tips, but pay market rates or above in some cases still. We are in high minimum wage states - so the market to minimum difference is narrower.

@McFranchisee @iranintoawindow Would love to hear how you determine the attributable uplift in sales to the remodels, and the way you see them be most impactful (closing/not closing etc) Not enough discussion around this and I think most zees view as a huge capex piece that is hard to identify the return

[Lucas Mitchell @LMitchellHQ]

@MUnitfranchisee @StevenShortino This is how its done.

@rdesertdesigner The excel had contractos names and prices they paid for everything.. I dont know how they got that information from the previous seller but they kept the excel workbook going....

[Lucas Mitchell @LMitchellHQ]

@rdesertdesigner looked at a house recently where they gave us an excel list of all updates to the house since 2000 (mind you the seller only lived there since 2014) like I am talking if they replaced a light fixture it was on there. only valuable updates were already 20 years old

@jakeradercpa @FranchiseMnA Likely only if its your main business. This is a nice add on when people are picking up cookies already, raises that average check and likely some incremental from people walking around the shopping centers they are already in.

@PPC4Liberty This isn’t that deep down the rabbit hole… this is just below the surface. Seems deep because most never pick up the shovel

@strowhiro It’s actually sourdough focaccia with a pomodoro gravy and mozzarella

[Lucas Mitchell @LMitchellHQ]

@QSRguy @FlannCasey Sell side let an attorney kill a deal? Or what’s the context? So curious

[Lucas Mitchell @LMitchellHQ]

@McFranchisee @McDonalds If regular QSR chains adopted to this, it would crush swig IMO better as an add on in QSR than a stand alone concept long term I think. Swig was first and is winning now

[Lucas Mitchell @LMitchellHQ]

@FranchiseMnA I like the product. I think it a good. Sandwich category is just tough imo. Hard to break through, and easy to replicate in most cases, there are outliers of course but JM owns the category and I don’t think that’s changing anytime soon

[Lucas Mitchell @LMitchellHQ]

@trentjhughes Split king for us was a game changer we both get our preferences. Also addressing my snoring 😬was hugely impactful. We both sleep amazing now

@dirtdog Should probably hit the phones right? In all seriousness my daughter loves to help shred papers, tidy up, both I pay her for. Usually about an hour or so Then give her some free time to read play, occasional screen time.

@leah_walczak So badly needed, we are loving it.

@realalexclark Blessed my wife and I didn’t need to go
The IVF route but know people that did and their stories. I hear what you’re saying and maybe the right approach is accessibility in the short term while we go down the “why” rabbit hole which is equally as important

[Lucas Mitchell @LMitchellHQ]

@jcolesimpson This is super true. The power of the brand and rhe leadership team have to justify the royalties and fees. an operations manual and back office tech (sold as business in a box) aren’t enough. With the right combo - franchising can be a cheat code

[Lucas Mitchell @LMitchellHQ]

@robwynkoop @TheFranDawg They have been at the floor on pricing relative to other QSR, everyone raised and so did they but they are still the floor. I agree much more expensive than it used to be but still inexpensive relative to others

[Lucas Mitchell @LMitchellHQ]

@shortlongdo @McFranchisee @southscanner @robfoot @UberEats Maybe, but I think you have to look at differently because how much of those losses were do the “building” vs selling/scaling? The restaurants already own a huge customer base. Would it be expensive? Absolutely. But think how much these chains are paying in in fees
