>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 4 17:52:48 2021 No.15343849 >>15343423 The only margin there is the soda. And It’s like a 1000% margin. McDonalds is an elaborate Coca Cola distribution network.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 4 17:56:45 2021 No.15343868 >>15343849 Nah. You'd literally make profit from that price buying food from the grocery store, nonetheless the supply chain discounts McD's has which I'd assume are the most favorable of any restaurant in the entire world.

Employees and liability yeah. McDonalds got ass raped for burning a lady with hot coffee lmao.

Almost all restaurants make their margin on selling drinks. It’s like $.03 worth of product they sell for $1+. This is doubly true for places that sell booze.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 4 18:08:12 2021 No.15343952 >>15343932 Yes it's high margin item. That doesn't mean they're breaking even on $6 cheeseburgers

Do you not know how franchises work?

Basically a small minority of locations are owned by the mcdonalds corporation. These are often large locations or are situated in important locations where they don't want fuckups (centers of major cities, tourist hotspots, etc). At these locations, all profits go to the company. Effectively the only way they make money from these locations is through food / drink sales.

Most locations are run by people who do not directly work for the company (franchise holders). They pay mcdonalds for the right to use the logo, menu, training material etc. They get to keep the profits made from food sales.
A lot of franchise owners also rent the restaurant itself from McDonalds.
Mcdonalds builds locations and then sells the franchise rights. I think you can also apply to fund the construction of the building, and purchase the land yourself if you want to own a franchise, but don't want to pay them rent. McDonalds has to approve the locations / construction and everything though.

I think people say mcdonalds is in the land business because they do make a lot of money off of ground rent from franchise owners. Probably more than they make on food, given that there are significantly more franchised locations than corporate owned.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 4 18:10:15 2021 No.15343968 >>15343423 McDonalds Corporation is in the Real Estate biz. The franchisees are the ones making most of the margins on the food itself.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 4 18:10:19 2021 No.15343969 >>15343952 I mean you could look it up yourself it’s been studied by economists extensively. Idk why you think there’s crazy room for margin on $6 burgers and fries.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 4 18:11:43 2021 No.15343985 >>15343966 Op is business illiterate and doesn’t want to listen.

The misinfo and disingenuousness comes from articles, and subsequently people in this very thread, claiming things like the company with the best supply chain deals in the world has low to ZERO margins on their, not just equally priced to the market, but overpriced food.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 4 18:25:09 2021 No.15344083 >>15343969 Business Insider writers don't count as economists brah. They probably know as much as you or I
