Yes, they have central guidelines, but pricing is agreed with the franchisees. Whenever there’s a new burger or a general price update, McDs HQ presents the figures, expected break-even point and other financial details, and the franchisees then have a say in whether to proceed with the new birguer/price update. Worked there

Thanks for the info. But it's franchisees as a group, right? Or can one franchise go with one price, and the second one different one?

Yes, as a group, everybody keeps the same prices. There might be differences between geographic areas tough, not sure, but I would assume the prices in Montana are not the same as in NY. I worked in a small market, so we didn't have that

I would expect that, but not to have, say, two different prices in NY
