To understand whether Wendy's can ultimately survive its fierce burger wars with McDonald's and Burger King, dive into this compelling analysis of the delicate balance between balance-sheet engineering and boots-on-the-ground restaurant execution, and explore how a newly reunited, operations-obsessed management team plans to reclaim the brand’s culinary edge in the dirt. -
