A rebound? I remember reading somewhere(probably HN) that McDonald's makes most of its money from franchise locations rent, so I assumed as long as franchisees are keeping up with their payments their product line is not gonna affect the bottom line that much, I am not an expert on the subject though.

If you had read the article you would see that a) they also take a cut of revenue, and b) if no one is willing to franchisee (e.g. fund) a restaurant what happens to it?

The product line is the value McDonalds provides to it's customers (the franchisees) if that value decreases then the money it gets paid by it's franchisees in aggregate decreases.
