Who Voted For Onion Cereal?!? ► • Food Theory: The TRUTH...
Theorists, what is McDonald's selling? The answer seems obvious - fast food! Most of us have partaken in their Big Mac burgers, fries, and other staples of the golden arches. Yet, that may be a big ol' LIE! That's right, Ronald McDonald may not be a clown selling some of our favorite indulgent quick serve foods. In fact, McDonald's may be in a completely different business all together. What is that business? You'll have to watch to find out!

I can't finish the video, though cause it makes me feel like I'm doing my intermediate accounting class again lol. Giving me PTSD over here
What were the mistakes? Kinda curious
@@doocon1489 I don’t think there were many mistakes, just omissions. For example, he didn’t address loss carry forwarding in his amortization example. The whole video is just a bit oversimplified, which is fine considering the audience

Accounting grad here, I came looking for a comment like this!! Totally agree.
I went for an interview at McDs once. The guy asked me “what is McDonald’s?” To which I replied “it’s a fast food chain of restaurants”.
He sighed at me, apparently the answer he wanted was “one of the top charitable donating companies worldwide.” Like how was I supposed to know that’s the answer he wanted?

Food theory:
Teaching you about taxes more than school ever could
School teaching taxes? HA
It's fun to see accounting being represented. It's just a shame the information was not correct.
I left a earlier comment about this but basically companies prefer using bonus depreciation (100% tax depreciation) for the first year to get the tax benefit sooner. Also, you CAN keep the tax benefits in years where depreciation is greater then income.
Me: Wants to learn what are taxes
School: This is what is inside a mitocondria
@@alonsans school: this is what Emily made after the kid from across town mowed six lawns and found eight friends
A math test but If you get it wrong you get arrested.
So, the question is: "Why do franchisees agree to these terms so frequently?"
Well, running a restaurant is very difficult, and the vast majority run on slim to no margins. Brand name alone helps to improve your chances. But also McDonald's does a large part of the work for you. At least as far as planning goes.
You get to run your business in an area the franchise has deemed optimal...and they probably know more about that than you do, considering collective experience. You are also given your menus, which means you know what you are going to make, and how you should make them. This standardization also helps to get customers, due to them knowing what they can get, regardless of the McDonald's.
Being a Franchisee is basically the entry level job of starting a business. It shows you the ropes, and guides you through many of your responsibilities.
_ j
Lf
@Lord Waluigi I wish you the best of luck.
This is very well stated! I love it!
There's also a bit of a fail-safe in that if your franchise location is unsuccessful for one reason or another, the franchiser will get you closed down and sold back before you're knee deep in debt. Or if, god forbid, some mob decides to burn down your Wendy's, you'll probably have the building insured through the franchiser.
I imagine they will also take care of logistics stuff as well; like ordering ingredients and stuff ??
This is teaching me more about finances than school at the moment and I love it.
School never reached anything financially useful.
I mean. I'm Mexican, so our experience might be different, but I suspect most of the world is suffering a similar situation. After all the complaint is the same across several countries and generations X to Z (Whose oldest members were born in 2000). I'm sure the 2010s kids will have the same complaint soon.
I was actually going to comment this so you beat me to it

Yeah, poor financial education goals in schools is why everyone thinks Amazon legitimately pays $0 in taxes.

You forgot another point of fact....you know how every few years, they "renovate" their stores? Yeah, they depreciate their buildings over a period of time and then they invest money into construction costs, which also reduces their cost basis and resets the close on the building depreciation.
This is common....it's also a similar approach to how money launderers work. Pretty hilarious to me, rich people getting richer by doing the same things criminals do, but they don't get in trouble for it.

lol true
Food Theory is wrong by that i mean their calculation for taxes are wron. Even if you make loss in year 1 you can claim that loss in next year to set off your profits i.e. if you make 50,000$ at the end of year 1 it will be setteled with the earnings from Year 2 which is again 50,000$ so at the end of year 2 you will show IRS that you have not made any profit so you are not laible to pay any taxes in 2nd year also but from 3rd year there are no losses and so you have to pay taxes which will end up $31,500 even without depreciation.
The real reason is not that they will save taxes but is something known as "Discounted CashFlow". DCF is why any business shows Depriciation rather than claming all costs at year 1.
"I think MatPat had too much fast food and all the salt dried his brain". People say this theory is far fetched....but be honest, what MatPat theory ISN'T farfetched? Isn't that one of the reasons why we like them?
Yep
But this one isnt farfetched, its simply a fact. If their earnings from real estate exceed their food earnings then they are absolutely primarily a real estate agency regardless of how they want the public sphere to recognize them.
Oh my GAWD, he sang Flight Of The Conchord’s “Business Time!” I’m so happyyyyyyyyyy!!

I know i’m seeing this video a little late but I think when matpat was calculating the tax for “burger bot 2000” he made a small discrepancy that actually means they are the same amount of tax. When he was calculating it for the second year with no depreciation it went from -50,000 from the first year to +50,000 even though in the second year you only made 50,000 when it should have leveled out to zero with this you would takeoff 10,500 of the total making it equal to the amount you would make from separating the costs.

McDonalds is a restaurant in the same way that Chuck E. Cheese is a Family Entertainment Centre that contains a restaurant.
Hey, accountant here. I really enjoy your videos but there is a couple of things I want to point out, although I am not a tax specialist. The first is that companies prefer using bonus depreciation, which allows them to use 100% tax depreciation in the first year rather then what you said about a preference to straight-line over the life of the asset. This is so companies can have their tax benefit immediately rather then in the future. Then that goes into the whole idea of present value of money but I will gloss over that for now.
Also, your point about going over your income in the first year is incorrect. There is the concept of deferred tax assets that will carry-over losses for future years, so that tax benefit is never lost.
From a CPA, IAgreed. He really messed up that whole part of the video. The IRS REQUIRES companies to use depreciation over the life of the property and allows for exception to deduct it all immediately like the business really wants to.
In his example, if they were allowed to deduct it all immediately, they would show a $50,000 loss in year 1 and then in year 2 show a $50,000 profit, but would be a to deduct the previous years Net Operating Loss and would show $0 profit for year 2 as well. They would then pay tax on $50,000 in years 3, 4, and 5 like he said and like you said companies will defer that tax bill as long as possible because they would rather have the money now than later.
DING DING DING. Tax specialist here. you nailed it. It is interesting how little people understand how taxes work. Even then, doing some research about a tax topic will not yield useful information unless you understand the basics of the specific area you are researching. In short, there is a reason CPA firms earn what they do. Taringator and Brian B nailed it on the head here, guys.
lol I have nothing to add, but I'm amused at how many CPAs watch this channel and since I am one too I wanted to pile on.
I came to the comment section looking for this comment. As a Accounting student I knew he got a lot of facts wrong, but I knew I didn't know enough to do the subject justice. Thanks for helping me understand what he was wrong about.
Former CPA here... a-yup. Tax law is incredibly complex and always changing. If MattPat had actually done all the necessary research in to taxes, land, depreciation, etc - he could have passed that section of the cpa exam! Ie, it’s a LOT to take in.

I'm glad to have known the crazy fact about McDonalds being more of a real estate company than a restaurant a couple of years back because of the film 'The Founder'. And yes, it is a really good film! I actually watch it at least twice a year just because of how good the story and performances are. 😀
“McDonald’s isn’t a restaurant”
Me clicks video: “No Duh, it’s a fast food restaurant”
Me Now: “Oh wait-“
Saaame
Ikr
I legit said “It’s a fast food place-"
McRealstate
OMG..............

Teacher: "What is the meaning of theory?"
Me: *Mat Pat*

I just love the fact there’s McUFO in Roswell. Even aliens love Big Macs. Seriously they really go all out at some of their restaurants. Like a Georgian style McMansion on Long Island or a DC3 in New Zealand. They try their best to attract tourists while also pleasing the locals
Avery the Cuban-American is there a Mcboat or Mcplane just wondering
@@Voidrune They have a abandoned McBarge, and a McDC-3 in I think New Zealand.
Seen you in like 10 different videos now
@@williamb5495 I am always around.
I see you a lot on CaptainSparklez’s vids
My mom is an accountant and talks about these things all the time. You finally made her blabbering make sense!
The fact that MatPat knows who flight of the conchords is and then sang part of their song in a video?
That’s the life boost I didn’t know I needed.
Looking for this comment!
It took me a moment to realize it was FotC but holy cow!
It took me forever to find a comment on the reference
McDonalds: Oh the food, that's just my side piece.
I like some of the stuff they have there, but even I'll question if it's actually food. Not everything that tastes good is food. (I am not going to be more specific.)
And their biggest money maker is…soda pop.
@@LadyOnikara So you have a problem with my food?
@@ronaldmcdonald7843 Nah, I was talking about a Happy Meal toy I got last summer. Tasted good, but not food.
@@LadyOnikara Kid you aren't supposed to eat the toy. You know what nevermind.
"put on your business socks, people"
That's pretty frickin niche, Mr Pat. I'm loving it.
imagine if hes wearing cat socks we'll never know cause we barely see his feet
It's business
It's business time
When I'm down to my socks it's time for business
That's why they're called business socks, oh
Doing accounts really helped me understand this more compared to the first time I watched it
"McDonalds's is NOT a restaurant"
Me: wait no it's a gambling facility right?
yea it is man u never been there or something?
@@infernal9505 yes
Maybe you get a girl toy in your happy meal😳
@Yan Aks you don't call the place fast food you call the food that if you were to call it something it'd be a fast food restaurant
If you watched "The Founder" you saw this coming.
Im 20 seconds into the video, thats what im thinking this is gonna be about

Hello everyone , hope you are having a great day
Here’s your chance to for fill a random act of kindness
I’ve been streaming daily and uploading extremely often on an attempt to try and get 1k subscribers
I’m struggling quite hard right now and any support is appreciated , and I understand people hate comments like this but I need some support😉
Did Mattpatt say that the channel is just a front for a thriving cat herding business...THATS AWESOME
I worked at McDonald's 12 years ago in Knoxville, TN and it was actually a very good place. Although I only get started out at $7.25 and ended at $8.50 an hour. But I've ate and been to so many messed up McDonald's in my life. I was at one that a person got stabbed at, many fights broke out on a lot of them, some of them were dirty, etc.
Isn't Revenue money the same as Gross Income?
*Challenge: do a theory about dragonfruit.*
No real reason. I'm just eating one right now, thinking about how little I know about it.
Maybe it could be about why they're in every big brand grocery store I've ever been to, with a huge section to themselves, despite being really weird, practically tasteless, and barely being bought at all. I'm always wondering about that.
I, uh.... do not share your experiences. I’ve never even seen a dragon fruit irl. But I’d also like a theory on them regardless, bc I have had dragon fruit *flavored* stuff.
@@buttercupghost wat i cant understand the uh dont share ur experiences but yejh i want a theory on them too lmao
@@SoapCkat I mean, like, I don’t have dragon fruit in my local grocery markets, though it would be sick if I did
Cool name tho
@Buttercup Ghost Maybe it's a Pacific Northwest thing. I've never left the Pacific Northwest, and every state I've been in has had dragonfruit in the major grocery stores.
I need to sit down and really listen to this. It's incredible :D
Yeah
Yup it is.
Everyone: *ugh the ice cream machine is broken again!*
Me: **Laughs in always fixed ice cream machine**
Me: *Laughs in gets ice cream from Sonic instead*
*laughs in baskin robins*
*Laughs in making own ice-cream*
*sighs in lazy*
Me: *Laughs in getting blizzards at Dairy Queen*
There's something wrong with the world when a TH-cam video teaches you taxes better than 16 years of schooling. We obviously need to know how to do scientific things(assuming you're not a scientist) but not know any how to pay taxes or anything! Isn't that right schools? Yep!
Our entire system is outdated and needs a serious upgrade.
Yes. Our school system has been corrupted since around 1917, according to my research. It really is a shame.
I know it's a bit obvious but: "It's free real estate"
You mean: "It's free real Mcstate"
Oh my god
MCflurrious was so bad it’s good
Mcit's mcfree mcreal mcstate

Mom: what did you learn today
Me: McDonald’s is a real estate company!
Mom:

@@isaacsiao7673 why did you comment that on my comment he probably won’t see it now.
Mom:That's correct hunny
I new this because “The Founder”
Well, that is true from a certain point view. Seriously.
How to speak McDonalds:
Put “Mc” at the beginning of your words.
McI Mcspeak McMcDonalds
Mcthanks

McWow McCool McLanguage McThere, McHey McThis McIs McHurting McMy McBrain
No fast food joint is a restaurant, they are low-key food distribution centers, the customers that go there take the food and go, the front lobby where the tables are is a cafeteria/mess hall for workers when they're on a lunch break.
