One may question whether fast food is high quality lol, but this is an interesting parallel....
"Wendy’s new CEO basically admitted the company cut corners on food quality to save money... and now they’re trying to win customers back.
Which is pretty incredible considering Wendy’s spent DECADES telling us:
“WHERE’S THE BEEF?”
Apparently the answer was somewhere in the cost-cutting spreadsheet. 😂
Wendy’s built its entire brand around quality, fresh never-frozen beef, and Dave Thomas being obsessive about doing things the right way.
Then somewhere along the road, the company started prioritizing efficiency and savings... and customers noticed.
Wendy’s has now fallen behind both McDonald’s and Burger King in U.S. burger sales, while hundreds of underperforming locations have been targeted for closure.
That’s what happens when a brand spends years telling customers what makes it special... then slowly chips away at the exact thing people showed up for.
Dave Thomas spent decades building Wendy’s around quality.
Turns out “WHERE’S THE BEEF?” hits a little differently now."
