According to the latest global financial statements of McDonald's Corporation, its current market value is US$40 billion and its annual turnover exceeds US$18 billion. Its current number of stores around the world is about 30,000, so the average annual turnover of a single store is US$600,000. In recent years, McDonald's performance has declined in the U.S. and European markets. On the contrary, it has outperformed the Chinese market. The annual turnover of a single store in China is generally higher than the average, which is estimated to be equivalent to RMB 6 million per year. In China, the peak dining times at most McDonald's restaurants are 11:30-13:30 and 17:00-20:00, which lasts for up to 5 hours. Based on an average meal time of half an hour per person, at least 10 groups of people dine at a restaurant a day. During these 5 hours, the restaurant was basically full. Take the restaurant run by Sun Mengmeng as an example. The restaurant covers an area of ??300 square meters and has about 80 seats. The number of diners every day is about 800, and based on per capita consumption of 20 yuan, the daily turnover is at least 16,000 yuan. McDonald's is open all year round. Multiplied by 365 days, the annual turnover is 5.84 million yuan. Adding in the operating income from breakfast and takeaway, it is basically consistent with the annual turnover of a single store of 6 million yuan calculated above. Recover investment in about 5 years. Numerous reports and abstracts from McDonald's show that its gross profit margin per store can reach 40%. Therefore, McDonald's average annual gross profit per store is 2.4 million yuan. A business tax of 5 is levied uniformly in the country. A Fortune 500 company like McDonald's that operates in a standardized manner and attaches great importance to corporate image. Although it does not issue invoices when making transactions, I believe that McDonald's will definitely disdain such activities as tax evasion. It can be calculated from the annual turnover of 6 million yuan, of which 300,000 yuan needs to be paid as business tax every year. According to McDonald's regulations, franchise stores need to pay 17-23% of their turnover every month as royalties, service fees and rent. According to Sun Mengmeng's unintentional revelation, the specific amount she paid every month was 20% of her turnover. Therefore, we can know that her total annual payment is 1.2 million yuan to McDonald's headquarters. Sun Mengmeng's franchise store *** has 15 employees. The current salary at McDonald's is 5 yuan/hour. Calculating that each person works 8 hours a day and 5 days a week, a franchise store spends about 100% on employee wages in a year. About 150,000 yuan. Including the activities such as outings with employees mentioned by Sun Mengmeng, as well as part of the extra salary and benefits earned by a small number of full-time employees, the expenditure on employee wages and benefits in a year is about 200,000 yuan. Most of McDonald's food cooking work is done by machinery, and extremely powerful heating and cooling equipment is used frequently. Therefore, monthly expenditures on water, electricity and coal are essential. Based on the water and electricity expenditure of Western-style fast food restaurants of the same type and similar area, the average monthly expenditure on this is about 10,000 yuan, totaling 120,000 yuan per year. Operating a catering business also requires you to pay some additional fees, such as sanitation fees, education surcharges, etc., totaling about 20,000 yuan per year. The approximately 2.5 million yuan invested when joining McDonald's mainly includes fixed facilities such as the restaurant's kitchen, tables, chairs, decoration, and the use of signage. The franchise contract period between the investor and the headquarters is 10 years, and depreciation and amortization are based on 10 years. The annual depreciation and amortization fee is 250,000 yuan (since these facilities have basically reached the design service life after 10 years of use, There is not much residual value left, so we will ignore it here). According to the above calculation, a McDonald's restaurant's annual pre-tax profit is about 310,000 yuan. Calculated based on the corporate income tax of 33, the annual net profit is about 207,700 yuan. In 5 years, a net profit of 1.04 million yuan can be obtained, plus the 1.25 million yuan deducted from amortization and depreciation (250,000 yuan per year for 5 years), the actual investment recovered is 2.29 million yuan, which is similar to the initial investment of 2.5 million yuan. McDonald's has repeatedly stated that joining McDonald's can recover investment costs within 5 to 6 years.
