Is that really the comparison you want to be using here? Panera versus McDonalds, where Apple is McDonalds? Seems more like an insult.

- CamperBob 15y agoNot if you look at their balance sheets, it isn't. McDonalds is one hell of a highly optimized operation, and nobody in business would object to being compared to them. Meanwhile, Panera's food is probably less healthy if you actually look at the numbers.
- dgallagher 15y agoYeah, I was mostly looking at it from the perspective of just comparing a complex-selection (Panera Bread's menu) vs. a simpler-selection (McDonald's menu). If you look at other variables like quality of food, speed which it's cooked, convenience of locations, charitable donations, etc, it definitely confuses the example.
- whatusername 15y agoEveryone can make a better/tastier/nicer hamburger than McDonalds. No-one can make a more profitable hamburger than McDonalds. That ties in pretty well to Tim Cook.
- dasil003 15y agoMost hamburgers are more profitable than McDonalds. The hard part is selling a billion of them.
- bostonvaulter2 15y agoIsn't it about selling the sides as well, like the soda's?
- razzmataz 15y agoThe volume is where McDonalds is making the massive profits.
- dasil003 15y agoRight. How does that add to my point?
