Aged fast-food vending and the food-cab delivery model
Building on Bendo Land, a host proposes a heated vending machine stocked hourly with fresh McDonald's burgers to skip the drive-thru. Then 'me and Mike very much explored that business model' (seg-00722): the food-cab idea needs a $5–$6 delivery fee plus 15–18% from the restaurant to pay drivers $10/hour. The crew debates whether delivered McDonald's is gross or convenience people will pay for.
