Actually, part of that is false...
#1 - It does affect McDonalds Corp because the "rent" that O/O pay is based off of total sales...so if a location is missing sales because of an ice cream machine being down, then McDonalds Corp is also missing out on that "rent" money. Although it isn't much per store, but the total for almost 14,000 US locations probably is a decent amount of money that McDonalds Corp. misses out on.
#2 - Most of the ice cream machines aren't "broken down"...the machines automatically shutoff after it served so much ice cream. When it does, the machine has to be cleaned thoroughly before it will restart. Employees will say it's "broken down" because they either can't clean it at that time due to being busy, or don't want to clean it as it is a tedious task. We hire someone to go clean the machines so the employees can stay busy taking care of the customers.
It isn't intentional. McDonalds has a contract with Taylor because the machines are a bit less expensive for the O/Os than other machines. While Taylor likely does make most of their money from repairs, most repairs are a product of improper cleaning.
Do not believe everything you see in a YouTube video...just sayin'...
