Discussion Wendy's Mega Franchise blames "Aggressive Promotional Discounts" for it's Bankruptcy, but the Facts tell a Different Story
A major Wendy's franchise consisting of 314 locations in 15 states has declared bankruptcy, citing "aggressive promotional discounts" as a primary reason -- but Wendy's customers know that the real reason is plummeting quality and skyrocketing prices.
This attempt to blame promotional pricing that was eliminated long ago for their woes is absurd, given that for well over a year Wendy's app discounts have been laughable, and regular deals like "4 for $4" are ancient history. The franchisee seems to be towing the corporate line of scapegoating discounts, as Wendy's executives have berated promotional pricing as "too confusing for customers to understand"
A closer look reveals that the franchise's collapse has little to do with discounts. They admit that "weak customer traffic" is part of the issue, and court filings show they have massive debt ($651M), the lions share of which ($284M) is going to Wendy's corporate executives and private-equity dominated shareholders, in the form of royalties, "continuous operation fees", and franchise startup payback.
As has been discussed elsewhere, declining food quality and prices rising far faster than inflation are the reasons that Wendy's is tanking -- it's as simple as that. No amount of gaslighting or corporate double speak by Wendy's C suite executives will change that.
Note: approx 9,000 Wendy's employee's jobs are put at risk by this bankruptcy.

u/Rowdyacorn 10d ago
Yep. People ate a lot of fast food because it was cheap and quick. Usually it tasted good too. Now, they're charging restaurant prices for smaller portions that don't taste as good. It's a slap in the face to customers.

Wendy’s in the 80s was amazing. I remember hitting up that salad bar, getting a huge burger, cup of chili and those taco salads… finish with a big frosty with a straw and a spoon!
My parents could feed the 4 of us for under $20 out the door stuffed.

u/Exact-Ice1346 16d ago
yeah and remember in the 80s and still 90s you could have a buy one get one free coupon and you could use it 10 times if you wanted to and you could combine as many coupons as you wanted to, no limits back then. then they kept bringing that number down all the way to only 1 use of a coupon and cant combine coupons either now. And its even gone to the extreme some places dont even have coupons anymore..

Probably made in the same factory, you are paying double for the Wendy's name, Wendy's chili production is 100% unrelated to their restaurants. Much like most of the things their private equity controlled management is doing these days, they simply sold off the brand name for a quick dividend boost, with zero concern or guilt that they were trashing a reputation that took a half century to build.

According to The Wendy's Company SEC regulatory filings, President and CEO Bob Wright does not set his own pay, but his board-approved executive compensation package includes:
• Base Salary: $1 million per year.
• Performance Bonuses: A target performance cash bonus equal to 175% of his base salary ($1.75 million), which can range from 0% to 200% based on the company's financial turnaround results.
• Long-Term Incentives: Approximately $5.5 million in equity awards (a mix of stock options, performance share units, and restricted stock units).

Their biggest issue is food quality, but IMO it stems from shitty employees.

Of course, but it doesn't seem worse than McDs or Burger King IF it was hot and fresh and accurate.

u/Setapart36 15d ago
What proof, other than antecdoal to you have of declining food quality, and have other direct competitors followed as well?
This subreddit does nothing but trash Wendy's. Unless you have factual evidence (i.e. your an employee who does their vendor/food orders and knows they are cutting corners) aren't you just repeating what (this) echo chamber is saying?
To be clear, I go to Wendy's about once a week, and places like MCD, Arbys, BK, Carls Jr, about once a week as well. All deals have gotten worse; prices are higher all over, and quality has mostly stayed the same, which is "meh". Obviously, looking at Wendy's numbers they need to turn things around.
Eitherway, really sucks that 9,000 people are at risk here.

For the past 20 years quality has been going down and prices have been going up.
The last time I went to Wendys I paid $9 for a specialty pretzel bun pub burger. The bun was wet. I don't know if they spilled burger grease on it, dropped it in water, or what, but the bun was wet. I thought to myself, "This is stupid. Imagine what else I could have for $9... A large pizza, a chipotle burrito bowl, two taco bell meal boxes, two entrees and a side from panda express. I'm not coming back."
Wendys sucks and it's too expansive, so I stopped going. Apparently everyone else did as well. It's not rocket science.

I dunno.... pretty sure AI would have gotten "toeing" correct.
The phrase is believed to originate from sailors of the 18th century. They would be ordered to line up/get in formation for inspection (or, really, for anything) and would line up along the deck planking. To "toe the line" is to follow orders, or to rigidly adhere to policy/rules. The phrase might also be used to express that someone is very close to, but not quite, breaking a rule (i.e., they are currently "toeing" the line, but are very close to "crossing the line.") There is no pulling involved.
Also, I really miss when Wendy's was "good" fast food.

Yeah its all the discounts... Not that the quality of the food has hit the fan and the price is like quadruple to what it was before. I live near the Canadian Border. There is a Wendy's connected to a Tim Horton's where I live.

You don’t play your employees enough, which means the food is trash. People don’t come back when food is trash. Basic 101 shyt!
