Why should I care if I'm Killing Chain Restaurants?

[Anonymous No.14841525]

The news always talks about how I'm killing industries like Applebees. What I wanna know is why I should care that shit microwave food is being killed. I also wanna know why I should care about being blamed for fast food being less appealing. If more chains die out then we get more restaurant selection. If more fast food dies out we get better things.

sure, when you put it like that. But people don't seem to realise how many of their decisions are made emotionally or subconsciously. Consumer decisions are rarely purely logical.

Posting a loss is actually a sound financial move for a large company in distress. It opens the doors to tax relief and the potential of being bought and absorbed into a larger more successful company while still maintaining its original brand image. Applebees actually got bought by Ihop back in 2007, and the company later consolidated their corporate structures into a single entity that deals with franchising their separate restaurants.

KFC is actually spot on when it's right out of the cooker but it becomes inedible after only twenty minutes or so and it's very unlikely to catch it in that sweet spot. Maccas however is never worth the price unless you want something you can eat in the car on a long drive.

Millennials are sorting out the garbage food establishments. Too many restaurants have become microwaved entree services, with nothing made in-house.

Like dude me and a couple friends of mine used to go to tuesday discount wings every single week. Literally every single week for 2 years straight. We'd go spend 40-60 collectively on wings, eat them while watching something at whoever's place was the place for the night, and play vidya or maybe have some beers.

What the fuck are they talkin' about millenials kill these types of joints. Go in a Buffalo Wild Wings, and look around. It's all 20-30 year olds. Maybe a couple old fucks or families, but mostly millenials and some zoomers now.

>killing industries like Applebees
The funny part is that none of these chain places existed before the early to mid nineties. Or maybe they were regional and just not in my region. Whatever.
Hooters is the first one I ever remember hearing about. Then Applebees. Then TGIF. Then Ruby Tuesday. Then this, that, and the other. Now, there's like 100 of them, and they're all the exact same thing: Street signs, local sports memorabilia, and meaningless crazy shit all over the walls, a gigantic bar that seats like 40, and like 50 TVs with a different sports on every one.
As far as the food goes, it's mediocre at best. Each place has like one thing that's worth trying, and the rest is the same mass-produced, Gordon's/Sysco garbage you can get at any other place.
As far as the bar goes, it's just the same stuff you can get anywhere else in the country but at twice to 3x times the price. A glass of draught domestic is 3 bucks, for fuck's sake.
The bartender is always some dead-eyed, fake-tit, spray-tan, bottle blonde. The waitresses are always obese hags who think they're hot shit because Cletus at the bar always hits on her when he's got a buzz.

That is true, farmers are constantly exploited in every country ever. The hardest hit by economic crisis has historically been and always will be the humble farmer.
Economic policies that support the increase of taxation severely undercut any possible hope of a farmer making money. It’s difficult to be a farmer and actually make money, especially when there’s monopolies that are hiring all of the used-to-be-farmers to work in slaughterhouses and factory farms. I know in CA at least, there’s always several policies every year that farmers are fighting because it will severely hurt their business. There’s also many that have trouble getting the water they need to grow crops (but your grass is green, eh?) and need loans because of the turbulent California economy and high cost of living.

I've studied retail/grocery chains because most of the ones I grew up with are long dead. Restaurant chains share the same fundamental error of succeeding in good times and deciding this means nationwide/international expansion despite the central tenet of economics being "all other things remaining equal." The larger your retail/food service business gets, the more vulnerable it becomes to fluctuations in market forces unless you have an executive team able to anticipate and adapt.
The second stupidest thing they do is acquire other businesses in their field who are usually only in the position to sell because they carry poisonous debts which infect the health of the purchaser. Arby's bought out Roy Rogers and converted all the RRs to Arby's, people refused to eat there and by the time Arby's switched them back the damage was done.
Grocery chains tend to last longer because they have a solid comprehension of their economics and they generally avoid going national.

Farmers in Japan constitute the most powerful lobby in the country. American farmers have never been politically organized enough to matter to Congress and probably peaked in the influence they held a hundred years ago.

Disney almost went under in the early 1980s with a possibility of being bought out by United Artists. The entire reason Snow White has rotoscopes of the main character and Prince Charming is because it drastically cut the amount of time it took to make flipbooks to show investors. It's a company that rides rollercoasters economically because it insists on growing quickly while providing zero essential services to the public, and it was hubris beyond belief for Iger to take Eisner's accomplishments as a 100% stable company just because it was doing well at the time.

Subways are all franchised. It's one of the cheapest and easiest fast food franchises to buy in to because you stick a Subway in to just about any existing retail space without much in the way of modifications or large appliances. That's why Subway won't die, there's always new franchisees buying in to it.

It depends on location. I worked at the busiest one in the metro area so we always had premo people in the back of the house. I worked as a waiter to get through college on top of other jobs. I can't find a job in education atm so I will probably go crawling back to them if I can't find a job in the next 2 months. Shit is fucked.

>They aren’t shipping beef from California to New York. It’s not profitable.
No; they're shipping beef from flyover slaughterhouses and processors to California and New York, however.
Freezer trucks are surprisingly affordable for moving 20 tons (40000 pounds) of material at a time.
I doubt the end customer is paying $10/mile in freight, and even if they were that's still maybe 50 cents a pound (or less) in transport cost.

It's $15k to get a franchise. That doesn't provide the equipment, the staff clothing, your food or your lease on the property it goes in. It's an investment.

And yes it's $2M for a McD franchise. Among other things that guarantees you a territory which Subway won't promise you.

There really needs to be a balance. I think.
I thought I was "pro small business" until I met small mom&pop grocery stores in the coastal touristic areas in mediterrenean, mothefuckers were charging x3 x5 prices for the most trivial shit.
One year a branch of a corporate supermarket opened and man it was good.

Yes I know capitalism expolits and therefore we have cheap goods, chinks have suicide nets so we can buy t-shirts for 5 dollar each BUT just because big timers exploit doesn't mean small timers don't

You're not killing shit. Articles like this imply millennials have an OBLIGATION to keep these places alive. In reality, they're dying on their own. In reality, in a capitalistic society, failing to keep your business alive means you are not providing a wanted/needed service and that is solely your fault.

I'm normally on board with trashing millennials, but in this case it's not their job to eat at chain restaurants. It's the restaurants' job to create menu items that appeal to the millennial market. It happens that I'm a millennial who used to eat at both of those specific chains and they pruned favorite items of mine off the menu, so they rightfully lost my business. Taco Bell recently did the same.

Same reason as a lot of the decisions at a lot of chains. Sure real chicken might only be 0.50 more per pound but when you sell a bajillion pounds of chicken a week it adds up to a lot of money.

You shouldn't. I don't think I've eaten at a chain in years (I'm 31 though, so not a zoomer) because I would rather support local farmers markets and restaurants. Through COVID I've rarely ordered out but it's always been from local places. I've never liked Applebees or any of that shit, the only one was Charlie Browns because of nostalgia with my grandpa but otherwise its all highway tier garbage desu.

Its the opposite near me. Used to be a pizza place, but it went out of business and got replaced by a little ceasars. Then there was another local pizzeria for a very short while somewhere else but it went out of business and now we have a Dominos where the radioshack used to be.
So now we have a little ceasars and a dominos basically across the street from each other, both seem to be doing well though. Dominos has been there about 5 or 6 years now. Little ceasars about maybe 9.

I miss that pizzeria though, thing about chains is that you cant just buy a slice or two when you want after school or something. Miss when he'd get pissed off at me for paying in 50 pennies and 20 nickels

It's funny how my father is the complete opposite. Probably because it's the other end of the spectrum. During his life he saw the appearance of supermarkets and fast foods in Switzerland. Never liked (and still doesn't like) any of them.
He always prefer searching for small and old family owned restaurants whenever we travel. And he loves cooking and does it great.
