The fast-food workers’ season of rebellion

I suspect part of the difference is that all CFAs are corporate owned, whereas most chains are franchised.

You see a similar thing with gas stations, where the "nicer" ones (Buckees, Sheetz, Wawa) are corporate owned, whereas BP, Shell, etc are franchised.

Not that there aren't GOOD franchised locations, but it's much more variable.

Untrue. Many CFAs are franchise locations. Anecdotally, the corporate locations are much better to work at.

I think they are 50-50 owned corporate and franchisee. No franchisee owns it outright.

Eh, the two CFAs in my area are both franchises. My daughter has worked at both. One has amazing owners who treat the staff fantastic and have low turnover. The other is run by a totally disengaged guy who is not very nice - the place is a disaster with high turnover.

We had one that went bad where I live. Corporate stepped in and forced the guy out.

They take that stuff very seriously.

CFA has this unusual model where operators are buying the job of running a location. Hardly any locations are "Corporate Owned" but that's more technicality than reality.
