The video says the Taylor machines at other fast food places (Burger King, Wendy's) rarely break down, or at least much less than McDonald's. So you're saying this is untrue? If not, why the discrepancy?

- dsr_ 5y agoSounds like having two machines would cost them some space and increase the reliability. Do the franchise owners want that increased cost and reliability?
