You’re making it out to be far simpler than reality. McDonald’s is more than just an ice cream place, they sell Big Macs, fries, a clean place with wifi, and cheap coffee. It would have to be the sum of those worse off than a competitor.

A bad ice cream machine could just mean sub optimal profits / experience.

I don't know many, if any, fast food places in America that don't have wifi, coffee, fries, and try to keep their restaurant clean (Calling McDonalds clean is debatable). Taco Bell? Even they have Nacho Fries and coffee.

Is your belief what makes a McDonald's a McDonald's just its ice cream machine, an d that's its unique selling point compared to its peers?
