Do you have to already be delusional to work for a huge bureaucracy or
does one
become delusional trying to adapt to the corporate culture?
In this article John Betts, President of McDonald’s Canada, tries to make
the case
for the Canadian version of the high density menu. The logic is
pretty confused.
Many will remember that Betts was General Manager in the Michigan
Region when
that state tested the original McCafe platform. If he had been
honest with McDonald's
Operators about how poorly espresso based drinks did
in testing he could have saved
the U.S. system billions in unnecessary
equipment purchases and additional billions
in wasted advertising spends.
And now OPNAD is going after espresso again? Not only is that a waste
of Operator’s
money but it won’t build sales, as proven every time it’s been
tried.

It is unfortunate that we have so many tactical leaders. Where is the strategic thinking? I don't see
any thinking that is going to raise baseline sales.
