35:15for the same reason you buy a whole ass box of Legos instead of a part
35:18u can wing it or copy someone else's homework
35:19yeah, but then you have to also supply marketing
35:19Easier said than done
35:19you're gonna see a lot of people made a lot of mistakes in this case
35:19brand, suppliers, contacts
35:19ideally yes, but the name brand gets people in
35:20No, you also get the recipes and menus and all that
35:21yeah but then you have to come up with the business model and then compete with them
35:21You also get in on the corporate supply chain, which makes things a LOT easier
35:22 Hi pippa :hand-pink-waving:
35:22opening a new store is risky.
35:22it's like being indie vs being a corpo vtuber
35:23A lot of franchise owners end up managing their own stores because managers mess up and don't care
35:23a hotel is more generic but McDonalds is doing a lot for its franchisees
35:23That takes alot of time
35:24Established brand and reputation. Not everyone knows how to build a name and the recognition
35:25probably easier said than done
35:25there's also corperate connections
35:25no because branding helps with the massess
35:25There's probably more costs like that though
35:26But you don't have the corporate marketing and legal protections behind you
35:26you get the merch and support from corporate, it's not like you're doing all the work
35:27When was the last time you went to a random indie store for anything
35:27Its like joining a corpo
35:27People recognize McDonalds.
35:27"wouldn't it be good if you were just an indie vtuber instead"
35:28i think you underestimate brand name
35:29its the name recognition. everyone knows mcdonalds
