Fast Food Buffets (what if?)

[Cry Me A River]

I've been to a KFC Buffet. There's one in Sarnia, Ontario. We like to say we made the trip JUST for the buffet (we didn't).

Awesome!

Taco Bell Buffet is the stuff that dreams are made of!

Taco bell would own this competition. The rest are a joke in buffet form.

I voted for Wendy's cuz I like their extra sides (potatoes, salads) and the chicken nuggets.

Actually someone i knew worked in a local McD and i got approximations of their profit margins and income through him (dunno why but we struggled finding reliable profit figures across the country) - then took an overview of the late night takeaway market found on the web (im pretty sure it was Mintel) and threw in a bit of extrapilation of McDs own userbase figures someone found on their website IIRC.

The numbers are probably a good chunk off, but we got close to a doubling of income and the profit margins have a massive margin of error due to the big gap between the two figures.

Its no means accurate, but we got around 120% increase in income and approximated that down to around 45% increase in revenue (i dont have the exact figures to hand obviously, this is going back 2 years). We dropped 20% off each figure for some mathematical reason a math student guy i lived with suggested. If the delivery was efficient enough i contend a 50% increase, but the true figure lies between the two im sure.

Growing up, I used to visit a friend in Tucson, they had a McDonald's that had a buffet. I think it was like $6 all you can eat or something. Then they stopped doing it. Tucson, however, didn't stop sucking.

you should send the napkin you figured this out on to mcdonald's headquarters. i bet if you doubled the value of their company overnight they'd give you free happy meals for life.

Seems they do deliver in certain areas of America. Go figure.

Also, im not a fan of the company, let alone the food.

I remember one time when I was like 12 my aunt took me to McDonald's and ordered a Happy Meal for me. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] That was humiliating, as the cutoff age for Happy Meals should be like eight.
