I think our collective minds are warped if we don’t find it odd that a restaurant software company has a 280M research and development budget.

- djbusby 3y agoI found it odd too. What kind of real research could they be doing. Not all ideas that a team riffs on qualify a research. Maybe this is another case where IRS audits could help out?
- A_Duck 3y ago10% of the cost of goods sold on R&D doesn't seem too wild. That has to include all (hardware) product design and likely a good chunk of software development costs as well. For NCR, a 'boring legacy' POS manufacturer that number is 6%, but they have a bunch of older existing products (founded in 1884!)
