For the sake of argument, assuming this to be true, if other fast food companies (or companies in general) see that In n Out figured it out, then why the fuck aren't they doing it too? I'm assuming the top suits and haircuts don't care because they're rich either way at least in part but not complete reasoning. These may sound like dumb thoughts but I am not a business professional. I'm just thinking with basic common sense that if I see somebody doing anything more efficiently than the way I'm currently doing it, I'm gonna start doing things that way. Sure, managing an international company is different than someone using easier macros in MS Excel but still.
I'm just trying to figure out how McDonald's competes selling bottom of the barrel burger for the same or higher price than In n Out. The only reason I ever went to McDonald's was because laziness considering proximity to my home or work and because they were flat out cheaper than other options. An egg McMuffin should not be 5 dollars.
