Hehehe :D

In Napa Valley they had this concept called "Slow cooked, served fast", at its core our own products are more similar to that construct than McDonalds. But I figured McDonalds would be more eye catching, and also "drive home the point" more accurately ...

I learned one thing from McDonalds though, which very few people realise is "the secret sauce" in McDonalds business model, which is a religious belief in standardisations. The only reason why McDonalds can give you that burger in 10 seconds is because of standardising their method of delivery, combined with observing and measuring their customers' behaviour ...

It's very scientific at its core, and you simply have to respect them for their courage in these regards ...

But yes, you've got a point here ... ;)
