Five Guys has a very cr business model but they’ve lost their edge with recent shift in management practices, McDonald’s will always have them beat on pure margins with our centralized practice whereas they are heavily regional supplier based hence the inconsistency in their meat fat ratio per franchise

From a product standpoint our fries are superior in every aspect and we govern much better real estate space compared to the more prole strip mall locales preferred by Five Guys franchisees

Fives guy fries are 180 in their own right. McD's are as well but they're pretty different.

Wendy's stopped doing spicy nuggets. Would you fill that demand?

We are also disconcerted by the recent fall off in Wendy’s chicken products

They’ve become a glorified Burger King quality wise with our service speed

They have superior social media acumen and arguably a better non traditional selection such as chili and Caesar side salads but with always be perennial 3rd place gimmick at best now that their bread and butter of chicken products has fallen

BK tested the waters in the spicy nugget realm and failed, we’ll wait and see what the market dictates as we can establish market share growth against these so-called gourmet burger joints with our new quarter pounder

As per my guest lecture at the UT MBA class in early 80’s it’s no secret that real estate is the foundation of our business as we look to have close to 90% of our locations out of corporate control and into the hands of franchisees who essentially pay out our equity and space in prime locations

We will still always keep a handful of locations under corporate control to dictate the ever changing needs of franchises and to test new strategies as consumer demands shift as America becomes less homogenous and increasingly more diverse

why is your fresh beef quarter pounder not that great, and why haven't you extended your better, but still not great or even good, beef to the mcdouble

You may be in an area where the quarter pounder fresh beef is actually not fully utilized in our distribution network as we are still testing the waters

Many locations still have the traditional non fresh beef, thank you in advance for your patience with us

The Arab countries were surprising for us in their growth

However we had much higher expectation in the Seoul metro areas, the Asian markets as a whole have been difficult to structure specialized menu items due to the perverse nature of their diets and of course the higher margin for beef in these areas with some modicum of consistency

Do you see McDonalds challenging the best fast food firms' salads, eg chick fila? Their salads are high echelon.

Or was the recent supply chain scare enough to keep McD out for a long time?

This is a touchy subject for the ff chains as we are beholden to vendors for salads more than we like especially for high end variants

Our strategy has been to centralize the supply chain and ship out to regional distribution centers ala our fries etc and as you can imagine salads and fresh greens are difficult to adapt to our methodology - also one salmonella or ecoli scare out of our control can eat into an entire division

We may cede this sector in the near future and go all in on our strengths of consistency and affordably priced meals

McDonalds successfully feeds nearly 1% of the worlds population every day

Our calorie to dollar ratio is arguably the best in the civilized world

A $1.50 Cheeseburger that supplies 300 calories is something we are very proud of
