Yes, obviously you should cut supply lines, duh. Why would you supply products to someone who isn't paying for them.
So what is burger king doing wrong here?"
Edit: At least 10 people didn't read the fucking article, BK did cut the supply line. This place is just like Reddit, all hurr durr without reading the article.
They are telling you, literally. They should revoke the branding licence, cut every supply lines, and sue them if they continue using the brand (as they would surely do if I just started to have a Burger King without a licence). They don't do these things. Which is wrong. And that's what they are doing wrong.
This is how I know you didn't read the article.
BK did cut the supply chain logistics. It's mentioned in the article.
Sue the franchisees? Where? In Russia? In the middle of an economic war with the west? Even if the suit proceeded for some reason, who do you expect the court to rule in favor of?
BK did everything to severe ties. The only thing that remains is to sell their share of the franchise. If they sell now (even if they find a buyer), they likely won't be paid in anything other than rubles which is useless.
Lol dude, take your own advice. Read the article, about how they're dragging their feet and didn't even want to exit in the first place. How much that BK PR team paying you lol.
Also they didn't say they were cutting supply chain, it says "The spokesperson for RBI said the company was refusing new investment and supply chain support." Refusing NEW investments is not the same as killing the existing supply chain. Jesus, read.
