Correct. The corp gets paid first out of the gross, totally protected. Franchisees only wiggle room to increase their profit is labor costs.

Technically they could also just increase revenue with better marketing and customer service but we all know they would never try that first over slashing employee operating expenses

Well yeah, that would actually take work and require them to spend money. Fucking with prols is free, and they enjoy it

The franchise sets the food prices on both sides too so they can precisely control profitability.

I wonder if anyone has ever looked into the idea that labor is the source of all profits curious-marx
