This is the weird part. Why doesn’t McDonald’s step in and certify an additional equipment supplier so that franchisees have a choice?
This would put competitive pressure on Taylor to improve their machines, since franchisees are likely to avoid equipment that is unreliable or has high maintenance costs.
McDonald’s customers would be happier too. It reflects poorly on the McDonald’s brand that there is this constant guessing game (or having to check in the app) of whether shakes and flurries etc are available at any given time/location.
- entropicdrifter 3y agoMcDonald's corporate doesn't give a shit about the health of their franchises, they're getting kickbacks every time they renew their contract with Taylor. Taylor makes non-garbage ice cream machines that work just fine at, e.g. Wendy's. McDonald's just has the brand-recognition and clout to get away with a shitty corrupt practice for the moment, so that's what they're doing. For money.
