They riff on Travis’s former “big back” days, his love of junk cereal and late-night drive‑thrus, and then pivot into a real discussion about what an “all you can eat” McDonald’s subscription would mean for both customers and the company. Along the way, they unpack how chains like Taco Bell, Panera, and others are already using subscription offers to drive recurring revenue and loyalty. On this episode we talk about: Travis’s past life at 250 pounds and how fast food and junk cereal fueled it. A 30‑question fast food photo quiz that proves how well he knows major chains by sight alone. The viral rumor about McDonald’s testing a $54/month “unlimited food” subscription and why that price makes no sense. How other brands like Taco Bell and Panera have already rolled out subscription-style offers that actually work. Why restaurant subscriptions can be powerful recurring revenue plays and why Travis wishes Chipotle would roll one out. Top 3 Takeaways Overconsumption is easy when access is cheap and convenient, which is why a low-priced “all you can eat” fast food subscription would be disastrous for both health and margins. Subscription models in restaurants work best when they drive frequent visits and incremental spend (like a taco‑a‑day pass) rather than unlimited everything. For operators and franchisees, subscriptions are a powerful way to build predictable monthly revenue and customer loyalty, but they have to be structured carefully to protect profitability.
