BULLSHIT yourself....ya got a lot to learn....
A company almost ready to go bankrupt is pretty much worth "nothing" in the business world...
Streamling a company from 725 units (stores) to only 525...yet maintaining the SAME total amount in sales.....is called SUCCESS by any other name in the business world....
Under Cain the average Godfather sales per unit INCREASED....even in a very competitive market against national chains like Pizza Hut and Dominoes...this is called "building" a good company....
Now if Cain could only apply this to the Government world......he could downsize government "units".....yet double their effectiveness.....and so dramatically cut costs....
I find it interesting that even though you provide no links, Jarhead has not demanded that you back your claims with links like he did me!!!! It's pretty obvious who has a double standard here!
Since you provided no links, I need no links to contradict you.
Godfather's was not ready to go bankrupt, troubled yes, but they were not ready to prepare any bankruptcy papers when Pilsbury bought them. Like everything else you posted, an exaggeration.
There were over 800 "units" when Pilsbury bought the franchise, and there are 620 now. During Cain's reign it did not outpace Pizza Hut or Domono's. By closing the poorer performing "units" Cain was able to stabilize the chain, but that was it. He couldn't grow it, kinda like Obama stabilizing the failed and troubled Bush economy but not being able to grow it, so if stabilizing Godfather's makes Cain a super businessman, then Obama stabilizing the economy makes him a super president. If Obama stabilizing the economy but failing to grow it makes Obama a failure as president, then failing to grow Godfather's after stabilizing it makes Cain a failure as a businessman.
Any claims of increased profitability cannot be confirmed because the chain did not report its profits as a stand alone unit. All their numbers show is their place in the market in comparison to their competition. For anyone to claim anything beyond that means they must have access to data not available to researchers in the restaurant industry, which means they are full of shit.
Basically, Cain was a motivational speaker for the franchise. That's what the people in the chain remember him most for, not as a brilliant businessman. Like Obama, Cain is all talk.
