So have you guys been noticing many fast food franchises are remodeling? How do you like them architecture-wise? Are they commie blocks? or are they trendy?
>>131560923
Not that I think they deserve more but how can they upgrade all their buildings but say they cant afford to pay workers more without some huge inflation or prices going up?
>>131560923
i'm fine with them. i'm even more fine with them putting kiosks to replace the cashiers (though i haven't seen those in wendy's). none of them are ever going to match up to chick-fil-a in the end.
Fast food is for fat losers who are too dumb to make a proper meal.
>>131560923
>American makes a thread
>It's about a burger joint
WHAT A FUCKING SHOCKER
>>131561163
the franchisee owner of the resturaunt actually has to come up with the cash themselves, corporate wendys is supposedly giving a 100 k cash incentive to remodel: but the remodel is estimated at 375 k to 750 k total. So yes, if the franchisee owner can pay 500 k worth of loans, whats stopping them from paying workers more?
Taco bell is dark and depressing.

why don't you take out a loan to help out those poor fast food workers?

That's been happening all over the world.

Now that you mention it...No, I haven't noticed a single fast food restaurant remodeling anything, anywhere. WTF I'm in the ass-end of the USA I guess

I like the way that building looks but its just more of this kike modern bullshit that is killing traditional architecture in every corner of the globe.
also I fucking hate asphalt. Its ugly, it stinks, and all it does is retain heat.
>>131560923
Fast food is trying to appeal to the hipster crowd. It's failing since hipsters are health conscious. They should make their architecture appeal to children to draw in families instead, but that would require them knowing their audience.
Personally I think the new remodels are better than what they were obviously, but I can't help but see a commie vibe to them. Also the use of black is very depressing. They should have made the remodel beautiful, not that jew-y modern look.
>>131561214
Gotta feed your daughter healthy for Ahmed's dick and STDs, I see.

Wendy's has a reputation for healthy food though for a fast food joint with its salads and baked potatoes, it's one reason they are climbing in sales and Mcdonalds are flailing IMO.

They made our logo green so they would appear more environment friendly
>>131564826
I guess, they often have new burgers called something a la 'arizona special'
>>131564618
You think Wendy's sales are up because of their burgers? It's their other items like chicken sandwiches, chili, potatoes, salads etc.
>>131560923

Of course Columbus gets remodels, you're literally the fast food test site. For some reason Columbus is the ultimate fast food market research bubble so you get everything first and also a lot of exclusives because they didn't work out and never saw wider adoption.
Also you don't have many franchise-owned places, almost all corporate-owned.

Paying a 750k remodel will earn you money 10 years down the road.
Paying a worker who gone in 4 months a extra dollar isn't.
I own a franchise owner (Subways though I am selling off the stores since Doctor assoc. is screwing things up).
Lets say I am doing a 300k facelfit to my store. I will pay the back almost 5,600 dollars a month to pay off the loan. (60 month loan).
Thing is, that facelift will get me at least a additional 5,000 a month in income (better store, more people come and eat) and you have to do it every decade or so as stuff starts to look ratty.
Each of my stores have about 640 hours a month in employees, who on average make 8.25 a hour - thus I pay about 5200 a month in payroll. (there more to it, but lets keep it simple.
Raising it to 15 dollars a hour means I would pay 9600 a hour, or 4,400 a month more. Just so I make people feel better.
My profits from each store is less then 4,400 a month, I each store clears about 3,000 in profit a month.
The math doesn't work since if I pay workers 15 dollars a hour I don't get increased revenue, unlike a upgrade to a store.

>>131573287
Yep, if you put If a loan costs 5,000 a month to do upgrades (as long as they are reasonable upgrades) you can hope to make (as a rule of thumb) about 4,000 a month back, but for longer then the life of the loan, so for example you would expect to have it all paid back in 6 years, and make money from 6-9, then start looking at another upgrade in year 10.
All the while you are paying less in taxes due to loan costs.

Its about time. gotta clear the roaches our somehow.
The McDonalds near me was upgraded into this a long time ago. The Jackinthebox is also upgrading into a cube. There's a new McDonald's that was recently built, which is a grey, yellow, and black cube with lines on the facade. The entrance looks like a shipping container, you can pay on touch screen- screens and pay in debit, the fountain drinks now have more flavors and a small touch screen too.

>>131573343
yes, also investing in things that cannot leave (buildings, equipment, machines) as opposed to people who may leave tomorrow taking all of their "investment" in money to get them to an acceptable level tends to be a bit more secure and even more-so for non-skilled labor

I am a builder that builds Wendys, Chick fil A, McDonalds, Starbucks and more in FL. Ask me nothing because I'm not staying long. Just wanted to point out that large corporations can write of taxes due to growth (construction, new property, upgrades etc) but can't write off paying employees wages the same way. So to save their money, they have to spend on certain things
>>131561402
I build wendys. Most remodels for Wendy's average about 400k total. But they have been showing between 17-35% increases in FL within months after remodelling
>>131560923
How do the employees at Culver's, In-n-Out, Shake Shack, and Chick-fil-a look clean cut and nice?
But the employees at Taco Bell, Burger King, Wendy's, and McDonald's are trailer or ghetto trash drug addicts?
>>131561163
Because taking policy advice from people who have a personal, financial stake in said policy is fucking retarded. It's like when Papa Johns swore up and down that giving their employees healthcare was going to drive pizza prices through the roof, but it only drove them up about 10 cents across the board.
Any major city can handle a minimum wage of about $15 or more. Minimum wage should be scaled to the cost of living in a particular area, or else you're going to end up with one of two things.
>Unlikely outcome, no one to man those minimum wage jobs.
>Likely outcome, people working those jobs living in poverty within the city and raising hood rats who'll drive up crime rates.
Poverty doesn't create crime. Poverty traps right next to developed society create crime. Americans left and right need to realize that if they can't start looking at policy in the sense of "what will make my country a better place to live in", they're going to end up with a country that's shit, a laughing stock. It's already happened with our education system and obesity epidemic.
>>131561451
McDonald's is all fat fucking trailer trash and old senile people gossiping about all the diseases and doctor appointments they have. So damn depressing

I dont think you understand just how franchising works.
any no joe schmoe who wants to start a restaurant but doesnt want to take the risk of making something that could fail, can instead open a "franchise" store. so he goes to McDonalds and says "I want to open a McDonalds". and McDonalds says "Ok"
McDonalds is really only responsible for setting the rules and the menu and the general "system". the franchisee is responsible for building the place, maintaining it, and sending a cut back to corporate.
they have a fair amount of autonomy too. At least, McDonald's does.
there's a McDonald's near me that has a retro 50's/60's theme to it, complete with posters, seating, even a fucking jukebox.
While another mcdonald's near my local mall, is painfully soulless, with a design that was stale even back in the 90's when it probably set up, complete with a fucking broken crt TV in a corner ceiling.
owners have a fair amount of autonomy to do what they want with the building, as long as the "content" is the same.

>>131577816
who gives a fuck? McDonald's clearly doesn't know what to do with themselves or how to sell themselves, (instead trying to be "classy" by accepting dinner reservations for fucking valentines day) and higher up managerial types have admitted anonymously that corporate doesnt know what the fuck its doing.
whole progressives point to muh racism muh soggy knee, most people dont give a shit, and retro diners are very often successful because people romanticize the 50's and 60's because of cars and music and shit. it's a gimmick that sells, and it's an era that instantly brings to mind drive in theaters and fast food.

>>131569819
the only correct answer, you get zero return on paying welfare high-school dropouts who will only be fired when they call-in for the 10th time in their first month, you get a building that will attract more customers who will appreciate a new building with a kitchen with no grime and rats, new seats/booths not gunked up with gum under the table and yellowed linoleum, and a ballpit that wont give their kids aids when they accidentally find the old heroin needle left in there.

I went to McDonald's today and got a Filet-O-Fish combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered outside having a cigarette.
She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again. I don't think that employees should be bothering or even trying to socialize with customers outside of the McDonald's restaurant or drive through, but that is another story.
I went to McDonald's for dinner tonight and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'.
That really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.
Overall, I think it was very unprofessional to bring this up. I should have a clean slate with each drive through visit, not have to get the third degree because I committed some sort of faux pas. Which I don't think I did, because I often see people eating in fast food parking lots. How does she know I am not busy going to work or somewhere in a rush?
How do you feel about eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant versus eating inside the restaurant?

>Poverty traps right next to developed society create crime
You have no evidence whatsoever for this. It's actually more likely that crime causes poverty, and that the initial crime is caused by violent, low-intelligence citizens packing themselves into cities for gibs. The poorest places in the United States are white and jewish with almost no crime at all.

>higher minimum wage waaaaah
Why should you get paid more for doing nothing? In fact, why are you entitled to a baseline wage at all?
Plenty of low skill workers get paid well above minimum wage for their work. If you don't have enough value as a worker to negotiate a living wage then you should kill yourself so the gene pool isn't further polluted by your inherent incompetence.

this is like how they change the word for nigger and faggot and retard around every so often not realizing the stigma doesn't come from the words, it comes from the thing and the term used to describe it inevitably takes on a negative connotation as a result.
sure, it looks nice but eat there and you'll see it's just a fucking mcdonalds
now the building will look like shit because it's already associated with mcdonalds

your points are not wrong but you do completely ignore the fact that your customers will frequent your establishment more if your staff is on point. Higher wages will attract better candidates and will also inspire employees to to meet/exceed expectations if they actually fear losing their wages when they actually have some value.

MacDonalds is doing the same, at least here in Italy they try to stay sober and "elegant". Outside of big cities they use lot of wood pannels and natural like green and wood colors while in the big cities, mostly centre town they have to fit and respect the local laws and adapt to the buildings around, only positive thing so far.

Yup. You'll have four registers at the counter but only 2 people manning them and 2 food preparers. There use to be 6 cashiers/order takers and 4 food preparers at a local McD's near me. Replaced with self order/pay Kiosks.

I feel like the 30's were the height of modernity in architecture, culture, and architecture. I have a hard on for well done art deco architecture. It modernized and isolated some of the classical elements of arcitecture normal people appreciate and made it fit an a mass productiom society.
In this period however was extreme degeneracy growing that im sure i do not need to explain.
The degeneracy moved from dominating - or having a significant presence in - the political sphere to the cultural sphere. The rejection and hatred of ones own history(eg. maoist china) and destroying the bad, and most importantly, the good things left behind by a civilizations forefathers started us all on a path that only seems to be on the verge of retreating.
Skipping forward,1990 to 2010 was a period where most things were shit. Are there things made in that period that will stand the test if time? Nearly everything is being remodeled. Step into a taco bell that was built in 1990 and never remodeled; it is depressing. It is totally utilitarian, ugly, and designed to be uncomfortable so you leave as soon as you are done eating.
The new renovations are a big step in the right direction on their part. I see a slow shift toward making nice things again culturally. When was the last time you heard someone say we dont make nice things anymore and feel like it was true? I think we are making nice things again. It is a small step in a broader correct direction. Looks at the past few years. What the redpilling really is is a rejection of unfettered progressivism in favour of a slower level headed approach to the advancement of society in a way that does not kill what we are in favour of moving forward for the sake of moving forward which has the potential of not seeing the disastrous side-effects a slow tempered approach would.
