McDonald's is actually a very bad example; they're famous in the industry for their ridiculously high margins, on the order of 15-20% rather than the medium single digits for most fast food chains.
- danielrhodes 9y agoCorporate or the individual stores? Most McDonald's franchises are owned separately.
- greedo 9y agoMost McD franchises would kill for 15-20% "margins" depending on how you measure that. At the end of the day, a franchisee usually sees a 10% margin after controllable expenses, and before any taxes.
- GFischer 9y agoWhich is still pretty good :) . From what I know, stores in popular areas have surprisingly big revenues, I'd love 10% of that (my brother used to work at a store with a million dollars in monthly revenue).
