I've never had Jollibee. They aren't in my area, and the one time I tried to go while traveling, the lobby was locked and the employees inside just stared at me blankly when I tried to open the door. The drive through was open but I walked so I went to Raising Cane's instead. Best fast food chicken I've ever had btw.

Really? That's a shame because it was 2021 when I had it and it was fantastic. If it was even better pre-pandemic then dayum I missed out. It's probably like all fast food though in that quality can vary wildly from location to location.

In principal, yes, but the food quality depends on the vendor the restaurant gets their product from. I don't think Cisco (or whatever the big one in the USA is) has a monopoly on fast food contracts

Sure but a lot of fast food locations just don't give a shit about quality and the product suffers to varying degrees as a result. I would say at the majority of locations you get a comparable experience, but shitty locations are far from uncommon.

That is why the McOverlords keep such a tight chain on those who would call themselves "franchise managers". The buns, the milkshake machines, the sesame seeds and mustard packs... it must all conform to the McStandard.

There’s a built in hardware/software issue with the McDonald milkshake machine that causes it to break down a lot and a third party vendor created a workaround and sold it to thousands of McDonald’s only to be sued by McDonald’s to stop production and sales

Also depends on the people preparing them, and franchised locations don't always have the same level of oversight from corporate.

Not trying to stick up for McDonald's but I think it was the manufacturer of the machine that ended up suing the 3rd party because of "proprietary"technology.

Yeah, but like I said, even with the buns example. Not every vendor is the same in every region, but they all have the same basic "standard"

Mcdonald's has close corporate ties with the manufacturer of the machines. Mcdonald's was instrumental in defaming and harming the company that sold the fix to franchisees, which is why Mcdonald's is also named in the lawsuit
The manufacturer of the ice cream machines put a secret repair menu in that nobody is allowed to access except the repairmen, who charge thousands of dollars a month for the benefit of having them he able to come along and put in the secret password that you're not allowed to know. On this secret menu is the diagnostics telling you what is actually wrong.
You're talking about the hackers who made a program that allowed people to get into the secret menu without having to use the expensive repairman.

Most of the issues are related to employees not cleaning the machine properly and if they fail to everything correctly it will error out in the middle of a 6 hour cleaning cycle and spit those cryptic messages that employees aren't allowed to decipher. The program being sold to restaurants just made the errors human-readable and offered guides to resolve the error.
The reason Mcdonald's is mad is that their contract with Taylor is "cheap machines, expensive service contracts per machine that the franchise owners pay for". It makes the deal look good to potential franchise owners, until reality sets in.
