this is a good one! Though it is slightly different than the hamburger / friend chicken i was focused on..... but it's definitely clsoer to that than subway shops; will give it more thought

BM was home meal replacement not QSR. It also had a very flawed development model where the franchisees were incented to build using the franchisors' "free" capital and earning a development fee for each new unit. Therefore, it lacked the fundamental unit level economics that exist in most QSR. BM was essentially another version of a Ponzi.
