Cost Vs. Price of a Big Mac 

Thats called branding🤷

Wait a second, a Big Mac charges McDonald’s for the right to use McDonald’s on a McDonald’s Product…. That’s crazy

@@cheekybum6136when you own a franchise (a franchise owner is a regular person like me or you) you have to pay corporate your royalty fees, assuming this isnt a location owned by corporate

​@@Nicksterresetrr Nope that's called real estate for McDonald's. Look it up what they do vs others.

@@Random-ed2xf Well yeah.. I know that they own the land where are the restaurants are built and franchises have to pay rent for it..

That box ain't free, neither are the napkins.

Insurance, utilities, maintenance on and on

And advertising, transport costs, franchise fees.

so it's still only 2.30 because all he priced is actually about half of what he said when bought like fast-food chains do in bulk js

@deathnote-bq2fs You obviously never worked in a restaurant. Who washes the dishes and closes the store? Gremlins?

Agree

@@revision386You’re dumb

Fr

wait... a youtube video with false and misleading information ? I sure hope they don't make any of those about voting.

i can say hes telling sort of the truth the meat is about 42p and 1chicken nugget costs 9p

It would depend on the time of day. During a lunch or dinner rush that wouldn't be hard to imagine. It only takes a few minutes for a team of 2 or 3 to make a sandwich and you're hopefully selling more than one an hour.

Lol I urge you to prove it costs more than $1

Ikr, also he forgets advertising and marketing costs, transport costs etc. There are other hidden costs that aren't obvious. Plus they need to make money as well so of course there is profit margin, if they only made 20c per burger, if sales dropped then they would be out of business real fast....

Not true. All those costs are probably factored in for price of ingredients. I guarantee they're making more than $2.50 per burger @@snoref

@@amazingjables Labor cost is a few cents at most, if you assume the employee is already trained.

N the expensive homes n cars....

Do you know how many burgers they sell in 1 hour

@@BIGBamBam86 No... but the average McDonald's takes in between $2.7 to $3.5 million a year. The estimated actual profit is around 5% to 6%, or $175,000 to $210,000 on the high end. This is the franchise owner's salary and this is where the increase of wages from $13 (average wage in Virginia's McDonald's) to the proposed $15 federal minimum wage, an increase of $104,00 annually (average of 25 crew members full time). But those crew members aren't the only people the McDonald's franchise employs. There are grounds keeper, maintenence men, and delivery drivers, just to name a few. In fact any employ that works for the companies that provides gas for the trucks, electricity for the building, trash removal for the property, oil disposal, and so on got raises, increasing those costs. At this point, just to pay the person who owns the franchise the same as a person to flip burgers you would need to raid the price of burgers to make more than $3.5 million . And if the owner makes even close to what a burger and fry cook make, they would have less stress closing the McDonald's and becoming an employee, so the argument that they earn less doesn't wash. As for how many burgers are sold in a day... each franchise gets from 2000 to 5000 customers daily. The average order is complex because some people buy multiple items or meals and some but just a soda. Using the same year's (2022) numbers, the $3.5 million in revenue comes out to about $9589 a day. That's $1.92 per customer for 5000 customers a day or $4.80 per customer at 2000 customers a day. So, the best estimate is probably a McDonald's restaurant sells about 2000 burgers a day on the highest end.

@@BIGBamBam86 By bast guesstimate, using math, each franchise sells maybe 2000 per day. The per hour rate depends on whether the shop is 25 hours or opens at 7 am and closes at 11 pm. So 83 to 125 per hour. But that's more the number of customers per hour. No guarantee each will buy one burger with their $4.79.

​@@bsabruzzo it's far simpler than McDonald's the company has a huge market share in food shipping. Franchises have just been the carrot on top. The pricing for materials are much cheaper than you think, not to mention how absolutely trash McDonald's America's is. It cost closer to 30¢ per burger with everything, people just don't realize how much of a monopoly companies have. Like McDonald's owners the company that owned the factories to mass produce animal product.

Big Mac here probably costs around $10

Well workers and shop management and rent and appliances

Almost on board with you. Everyone knows McDonald's, so advertising to me is nothing.

To you maybe is nothing but your opinion doesn't matter. McDonald's still does advertising like any other company, which costs millions each year​@roycecharlton4924

​@@roycecharlton4924they literally spent in 2022 over 380 million dollars 😂

Maybe in a rural area. I know the store near me probably does 2000 orders a day at least and that’s on the low end. Owner is clearing at least 150k profit.

​@J-wu8sc and you have no idea what you're talking about. Nice assumptions tho. You are as bad as the guy 8n the video.

negligible when you buy in bulk

@@nexauu it’s not. And restaurant/hotel always buy in bulk. That doesn’t mean the cost goes down zero

@@nightfire255 false

@@nexauu do enlighten me how to reduce the cost of those to zero when you buy in bulk. Are you saying if we buy like 10,000 (or more) packs of tissue, the cost goes to zero ? Free tissue then ??

It's 11$ where I live in Ontario 😓

@@douggang7067 Damn! That sounds like highway robbery.

Always use the app never pay full price for anything

$9 for the meal or just the sandwich??!?? Damn that’s crazy

I was thinking the same lol

for some reason adding meat is cheaper than extra sauce 💀

@@spderman123 🤣🤣

It probably costs less than dollar to make big Mac

​@jimboh.2654 it doesn't. These are not correct

Because the meat is trash 🗑️

Still less than that where I live

@@gj62 Really? That's amazing. We can't even get an order of fries for that in my world.

@s.mic.3329 Prices have gone up in my area on food but it's nothing like what I see online. Now something none of us can get away from are those damn gas prices

$5.79, currently in California

​@@gj62bro in serbia Big Mac is like 4,35

The corporation McDonald's yes. The local franchise owner is in the burger business.

You watched a movie about McDonald's and know pretend to be know it all? 😂

​@@Eddyzz01exactly. Who do you know that's slummin in some defunct ol mcdicks?

it does when you order in bulk. I can get 4 buns for $3 from the store. If you order 200 buns in a bag perhaps you could get them cheaper than 30 cents

Cheese is more then $.05 a slice as well

​@@MysticalGB im p sure he was saying its lower than 30 cents

They make them, they dont buy them. Its MUCH cheaper than this ​@MysticalGB

@@wesanderson7165 Not when you buy in bulk.

Do you know the volume of orders we receive?… 30 cents is realisitc. Ive worked rushes worth 15k… literally. I was a manager and did cash outs. One rush was even 17k, in an hour. 30 cents is realistic.

Of course it's lower, the numbers the author gave are way too high

Thx for letting me know the other side of McDonald

Honestly as long as I don’t see it and I don’t get sick who cares. What I don’t know won’t hurt me lol

My store was clean. You're probably a crap employee

Pay attention he put the labor in the cost

People at McDonald’s make 20$ an hour?

They buy everything wholesale so it makes costs cheaper

They are such thin patties

And never counted containers/ napkins etc

This is not true in all industries, quite the opposite. Pizza for example is extremely cheap to make.

He is WAY off on his cost!!! Cost is far higher

@@victhundait’s not the cost of food but the volume of business. Who cares if pizza is cheap if you only make so few pies a day.

y would we pay for their taxes or electricity
