Comment on McDonald’s Ice Cream Machine Hackers Say They Found the ‘Smoking Gun’ That Killed Their Startup

If I ran a company where a third of the time one of the machines was down, I’d be looking for a different supplier of that machine. IDK why McD and their franchisees would put up with that sort of incompetence.

Because the franchisees pay for the machines, and McDonald’s corporate gets sweet kickbacks for locking them in to using those machines exclusively. And Taylor makes bank on service fees to repair “broken” machines.
