The onus is on you here bud
its ridiculous that publicly traded companies have gotten to that point and seem to do okay
"Granted they're not yet supposed to. Growth companies focus on growth. They could probably be profitable if they wanted"
how much growth do you think is untapped in the market and in what way do they not want to be profitable lol. not to mention a number of competitors entering spaces like doordash, etc
I mean all the local kens and karens talk about it on facebook, it’s not some thing I have imagined
and people who work fastfood have said delivery orders get bumped to the front of the line
Doordash just expanded to my area this year
it really isnt because I’m not trying to prove anything, I’m venting about how much shittier getting fast food has become
They put most money into expansion, advertising, driving incentives, then worry about profit later, intentionally
my brother in christ if you don’t want to believe me that is fine
Yes -- This will be the thing that makes them profitable. Finally
I didn't say they don't want profit. I said they want growth and don't immediately worry about profit because they have money from vcs
that VC money is likely a thing of the past they went public because htey burned their runway already
this conversation reminded me of when I worked at McDicks when I was like 15, got off my shify at 6pm, caught a bus downtown and got absolutely lit celebrating Canada day with my highschool friends wearing my McUniform
people kept giving me free shit it was hilarious
Doordash will be fine
You're having another Microsoft moment!!

just wandering around downtown Victoria high/drunk in my McDonalds outfit
it was legendary
I love ycombinator but this is the real wool they've pulled over peoples eyes if people really think that its totally fine to have a product that isn't profitable and have it be that way while giving competitors time to catch up, iterate on them, etc
I have a girl over right now and she's just watching YouTube videos of really expensive houses
