Building 500 restaurants sure is an expensive way to get a cool press release, if it's just a PR play.

- hugh3 15y agoYeah, the 500 restaurants in the next couple of years is believe-it-when-I-see-it territory. I can't see where the money's going to come from.
- vessenes 15y agoThat's plenty of funding to set up a franchise system. Franchises are typically how fast food companies get funding; they pull it from want-to-be owners.
- rdl 15y agoPresumably, franchises or private equity. Building a new restaurant and IT concept MIGHT be a VC investment, but scaling out to a bunch of physical retail locations is either PE or IPO or a big debt (bond) issue (if corp owned, like Starbucks), or a bunch of franchises (e.g. McDonalds).
