Theorists, are you planning to go or have you gone to college? Maybe you are dreaming of getting into that Ivy League school, like Harvard or Yale. Well, what if I told you there was something you could do that may be HARDER to break into than Harvard but may just make you more money in the long run? That's right, Theorists. It's time to skip the college education and buy a Chick-Fil-A... maybe.

    I think having a hands-on franchise owner would make being an employee easier. While what you have to do at your job may be harder, having the person making decision see what's happening first hand would probably lead to better working conditions unless they're just incompetent.
  • @YourLifeWasting
    I'm sorry did he say he read all 403 pages of the franchise document. Ladies and gentlemen and Theorists alike let's give Matt Pat a round of applause. 👏👏👏👏👏
  • @JCVidZ0912
    I swear MatPat is like the only person who actually kept using all the knowledge he got from school 💀
  • As a high school student constantly worrying about college, it’s comforting to know I’m an honor roll food theory student
  • food theory is like that one weird kid that constantly tries convincing people with weird theories, but when you listen to him it actually makes sense
  • It's nice to see more people stray from the way of thinking that college needs to be mandatory in order to earn a decent living.
  • @arsalarania601
    Do a food theory on "Does an apple a day REALLY keep the doctor away?"
  • I did not realize that so many people who worked at CFA are on this comment section, I worked there for a couple years in High school and community college. I met some great life friends. I was the cow lots of times. The operator was a good guy he did micro manage a bit but the managers where really great. I learned lots, made life long friends there, and had a manager who became a life mentor to me.
  • What if there was a food theory episode about how many different skittle combinations you can have in each bag size and like whether every skittle packet is truly different or how many have the same combination of colours?
  • @Depasture
    For anyone wondering, Matpat went to Duke University. The national ranking is #9 with a 7.7% acceptance rate.
  • @noriora
    I work at CFA and my store owner is really nice and pretty chill. I'd say the few angry customers are the ones spitting in our faces rather than the owners breathing down our backs hahaha
  • @TheMysticJay
    I work at a chickfila and wanted to mention that the operators are on occasion in our store but not 100% all the time. Our operator has built great relationships with our team so I wouldnt say it's that stress to work with him. You are very right that there is sooo much behind the scenes work that goes into running a CFA and I think it's really cool to hear your opinions on something I care about.
  • @BaseTheBanana
    The fact that an operator has to be hands on is not always true. My operator comes in maybe twice a week for an hour at a time. He can do everything quicker then most workers but he’s not there for long.
  • @irbest6148
    MatPat, I wrote an entire business article and have set career goals for myself in franchising all thanks to this video. It inspired me and led me to really research the process of becoming a franchisee. Thank you for elucidating the details of an industry of which I knew preciously little.
  • @loganceraul2222
    Starbucks Barista here! The company does not franchise at all. All of the stand-alone stores are corporate owned, but the ones located in airports and grocery stores, at least in the US, are licensed.
  • To be an operator, they require you to have at least a Bachelors in any major OR have run your own business for 5 years. So if you think you can skip college for this, then you’ll be disappointed
  • honestly the work environment at chickfila from an employee perspective has been great. we have a tight group of workers and i get along with my team leaders and operator really well.
