Well up until just a few years ago BK was in near constant fights with its franchise owners. That and changing ownership a few times isn't going to give you a good base to operate from.

That and McDonald's just owns kids.

I still prefer a BK burger to most MCD's burgers.

There is a BK near the office, and I used to attempt a drive-thru on my lunch -- but, their drive-thru was actually slower than going inside. After a few attempts (and being late back to the office once) I gave up.

To contrast, there are a group of McDonald's stores near my office that are testing a linked drive-thru timing application. There's a scoreboard visible from inside the work area that ranks all the local stores in terms of drive-thru speed and service time. They've gamified the system.

Well, the article kind of summed up BK's history in one line:

"He’s Burger King’s 21st CEO since the company was founded in 1954"

That's literally a new CEO every 36 months since the company was started sixty years ago. That's just boggling.
