I'm quite certain every McDonald's franchise knows how to hire high schoolers and serve up a bunch of smashburgers to instantly become the busiest franchise in the state.

The problem isn't an ability to understand long term signals. The problem is that if a franchisee tried to generate that signal corporate would filter them right out of their franchise.

aren't they independently owned? so if they wanted to offer a superior service, couldn't they do so? I thought franchise rules were a _threshold_ not a _ceiling_.
