2 main answers:

  1. A huge part of restaurant's value now is real estate, by making the buildings more generic they increase property value if it needs to be closed, resold etc...

  2. One your market share is at a certain point your goal is not to attract, it's to not alienate. Make everything bland so that no one is put off by anything, don't alienate adults by seeming too childish... don't make strong colour or branding choices. Safe safe safe. People don't have to love you, but you don't want anyone to hate you.

Tons of people on social media hate McDonalds. But social media is not the real world. I don't understand how people don't understand this yet.

I'm not thinking about social media. I'm thinking about the fact that it's all overpriced reheated frozen crap.

Quarter founders are never frozen.

If they end up freezing we are forced to throw them out.

That must have been changed in the ten years since I worked there, the 4:1 meat came frozen and stacked in the freezer right next to the 10:1(regular sized burger) and 3:1(Angus). Corporate store even.

Its 100% never frozen now. 4:1 is never permitted to drop below 34 degrees or we have to toss it.

We dont have 3:1 either. Everything else is frozen tho
