dh777 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks for the concern guys. Not to fear, we will get this worked out. It really is a much bigger issue than $1 DBL Cheeseburger. It smacks to the core of mandating prices and we are independent business people with different business models for each organization and restaurant. So, seriously, all the price cut comes out of the store and BK is still pulling in the same amount? They are not absorbing their proportion of the price cut while they mandate all the stores to cut? That's just not right!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, their revenue goes up as sales will go up with increased customer counts and all franchisors base their franchise fee on top line sales. We are left holding the proverbial bag and absorbing 100% of the loss. This is a true loss leader and we have to take the whole loss. In California it's ilegal to sell a product for less money than it cost you. Go figure, what ever happened to free enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Leicht Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Sorry to hear that Don. That is just not right. Sounds like they are taking serious advantage of their store owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm really conflicted: I hate to support robbers; the locals need the business; I'm a Whopper addict ... What to do, what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportscars Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Now I'm really conflicted: I hate to support robbers; the locals need the business; I'm a Whopper addict ... What to do, what to do? Buy your double cheese burger but also buy a small fry and a small drink and a dessert. I am assuming that there is a little more profit in the small sizes than the large, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
