Let's start with real estate - McDonald's holds over $40 billion in real estate! ๐Ÿ›

Their actual business: buys prime locations with a captive audience - leases to franchisees - collects rent + % of sales. โœ”๏ธ

Level of genius - 1000! ๐Ÿ’ฏ

๐Ÿ’ฐ The money printer: ๐Ÿ’ฐ

The franchisee pays McDonald's - a franchise fee of $45,000 per year + 4% of gross revenue. ๐Ÿ”

Construction cost. ๐Ÿ”

Rent 12% of sales + marketing fees + goods. ๐Ÿ”

McDonald's profit: 80%+. ๐Ÿ“Š Franchisee profit: 6%-8%. ๐Ÿ“Š

McDonald's controls: ๐Ÿ“Œ 4% of the beef supply in the US. ๐Ÿ“Œ 7% of the poultry market in the US. ๐Ÿ“Œ 2% of the bread market in the US.
