Man I worked at the tastiest wing joint in a college neighborhood. We kept that kitchen pretty damn clean for a bunch of stoners. It was one of my favorite places to go even on my days off; I’d often be serving food to my colleagues as well. I in part got the job because of the 15% employee discount all the time.
Pizza joint I worked at clean too. We had the best take out pizza in town.
Jimmy John’s was spotless as well. My buddy opened the first one in town. No, we didn’t have the best sandwiches in town, we had Jimmy John’s. But it was good and I still eat there a lot.

Heybro that started in 1956.
Harry Sonneborn, a VP at Tastee-Freez, pitched Ray Kroc with the idea of owning the land under every new McDonald's as the ultimate leverage over franchisees [lessees] to make them stick exactly to the McDonald's Speedy System, and as a guaranteed whack of every franchisee's gross revenue.
Kroc recognized the genius, and hired Sonneborn for whatever he asked.
"The Sonneborn Model" of land ownership is about as close as anyone has ever got to "creating wealth". It sits on a ring with Lloyd's Syndicate, Ford's vertical integration, and the Bank of Templar.
America, fuck yeah.

In case you haven't seen it, check out "The Founder." Pretty wild story. Michael Keaton was great in it. The original "McDonald" owners got completely dicked over! Poor guys.

If a franchisee to a system/name can do things his way he will, which breaks both the system and the name he paid for.
What Sonneborn did was give McDonald's, which depended on the trademarked intellectual property The Speedy System for it's operational and brand success, a big stick to ensure compliance, as well as not only a fixed return but a big cut of every store's gross revenue.

They had a good run doing it their way.
Sonneborn/Kroc's ideas of combining real estate with vertical integration in a franchise operation multiplied the value of the McDonald Bros Speedy System many times over.
Protip: Whenever someone hands you a blank check, multiply by 5 before you fill it out.

I wouldn't call what buddy is doing trademarkable but he has a number of stores, he has his system for how he sets them up how they look and thats how he matter of factly talks about it,
So setting up that last store was way easier/ faster than the 1st store, now he just keeps all the balls in the air some of them with family some with an assistant or 2, he has some good dependable staff good accountants and some customers that spend into 5 figures every year
I'm sure buddy is not the 1st person to try this with storefront retail, so far its working, wait 25 yrs and seeLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Speaking of fast food, a few years late but I finally saw this one. Remember the big "sandwich chick war" where BK and Popeyes were both talking trash to each other on social media? Ends up its true! RBI owns both Popeyes AND Burger King. I guess it worked because Popeyes would sell out all the time apparently. LMAO!
Solid analogy! Dayum.

Hell yeah, solid analogy, because the parties are the same!
Unless by ‘same’ you mean, ‘same’, because they’re obviously not the same:
Is giving the wealthiest people more money the same as taking more money from the wealthiest people the ‘same’? Who’s to say?

Hahaha. Ooohhhhhhh yeah. I remember those days. I'm also old enough to remember when McD's had these...
Would always be the old WWII vets hanging out on Saturday mornings to shoot the breeze, read the paper, drinking coffee and smoking cigs. Good times. Now McDonald's makes everything high top tables, self-serve kiosks, all engineered to be like "you've been here for more than 2 minutes so it's time for you to GTFO."

I swear if they ever decide to bring back the Meximelt, I'm gonna find that 95 Pathfinder, get unthinkably high as hell and drive on down there where my friends and I will plan a night of drunken highjinx and laughter from these very chairs.
I still call it The Jake.
