Lets not forget the debacle where a third party company designed a cheap and permament fix for the ice cream machines and mcdonalds responded by comiting libel against that company. The company that makes the ice cream machine then outright stole their IP (found to have outright copy pasted code with comments and all) and briefly sold it as their own fix before I belive discontinuing it.
Kind of like the ice cream machine fix version of ‘embrace, extend, extinguish’ but with all the finesse of beating someone up in an alley.
It’s too late, McDonald’s screwed themselves on that by allowing the machine company to play stupid games. I don’t see McDonald’s as a place to go for ice cream, haven’t for literally decades, and I don’t know anyone who does.
I hope the temporary kickbacks they got were worth it.
I didn’t think they would actually talk about the McDonald’s ice cream machine but no, it looks like the comments specifically referred to “soft serve machines” that can cost as much as $625 in lost sales daily!

90 days to have someone to come fix the damn thing, absolutely ridiculous.
