MacMoney

 

McDonald’s, one of the world's leading food outlets, and business houses. Their gross profit for year 2022  was a whooping $13.207 billion, big money, shush to all their competitors.

But nobody makes money over a 30 cent profit off a dollar’s burger, so how does the company really make money. I went around the web and researched how it actually fills its pockets.



There are some 36,000 McDonald’s locations worldwide, but only 5% of them are company owned, rest of them are franchised out. Here comes the pro-gamer move in the business, only the real estate of the land upon which the outlet is built is owned by the company, the individual who signed the franchise contract is responsible for all the costs for running the outlet, with an additional $45,000 franchise fee and a monthly service fee of 4% of gross sales. Smart. Damn smart. They are not in the food business; they are essentially in the real estate business. A good reason to sell 15 cent burgers to make the tenants pay rents.

 

Its 2126 hours on a slightly warm Saturday that I am writing about this, I actually had read about McD’s business smarts a long while ago, and I thought why not share it with you guys.

You can expect more of technical and business-related pieces coming up, but the blog will still have an element of absolute chaos and randomness. It’s the last second day of my midsemester break and my classes will resume from Monday. Again a loop of quizzes, assignments, deadlines, labs, classes; I will still try my best to post some stuff.

If this is your first read on my blog, I highly recommend you to go to my previous works since the first publish, they’ll make a bit of sense after that, not complete sense though. Bye.

sting operation

 The title suggests something about which I might write something some time later. Its 10:21 AM on a Thursday morning, I just had a milkshake, the weather's chill, so thought lets write some stuff down. Im gonna go back to IIMN this summer, I plan to write daily stuff there, lets see how much can I live upto this word of mine. Kounde's matchday playlist blasting on my ears, ahh, clean stuff. My work this time is gonna be about extracting features from posts of a particular IG account and correlating with the engagement metrics. Tough job given how many features can be present and the accuracy with which I could potentially extract them, will have to design a pipeline for this, gonna be my first time working with ML pipelines and maybe even MLops.  The playlist is damn good, newfound love for J.Cole, and Metro Boomin, Dini and Dosseh.  I think I should maybe switch to some different site to publish my blogs, maybe some everyday logger if I can find.  Ah, gotta work so...

Where have I been?

I havent posted anything in a while, almost 9 months, or almost two semesters. Now, obviously nobody cares where have I been, its not like this blog has a zillion readers, but I would still like to go on. Its a Sunday almost noon, at the IISERB library first floor, which has been my go to place since past month due to the ridiculously irritating heat here, and what, maybe 500 others as well? Nevermind, coming back, I had not planned to write anything anytime soon, but I came here today, was feeling pretty bored, did some light work, which I think is gonna bite me back in the near future, anyways, I was just looking at the blog analytics, and thought, ah, lets give it a shot today, its been a long time we've written, so here I am, on it. I genuinely love the album - The Division Bell, 2011 remastered version of Pink Floyd, its pretty soothing and I am writing this as it plays. The past, almost a year has been pretty nice, especially my fifth semester, I realised what I wanna finally...

this sem is about to end.

We had our batch photo today, it was long overdue given how all my junior batches have had one; this idea struck to Aryan back when we used to see IISER Mohali peeps post their batch photos at the end of every year on Twitter, glad to see the culture has started here at IISERB as well. So, I am sitting in CCD, tired of studying NLP in library, well, not tired exactly, its just a lot to study in so less time. I actually had a thought today, of starting a technical blog, or maybe a finance blog, or maybe both, under the same banner name but two different blogs. I changed my blog title to 'everyday stuff' and blog address to 'markoveffect', by the way, I love the markov effect and its mathematical intricacies. I am pretty hungry but need to study as well, cant think of writing anything as of now, maybe continue tomorrow. Until then, bye.
