Hi 3rd&Brown! I see you found yet another forum on which to be a total douchebag! How many is that now? I know of 5.

And no, it did not occur to me that they want to be lazy. It PLAINLY SAYS in the article that they don’t stock more chicken because they don’t have refrigerator space. Or can’t you fucking read?

Steven Cook might need to review the material from Christian Terwiesch’s OPIM class since I don’t think he got a refresher at the French Culinary Institute.

That all being said, I was just trying to solve an elementary academic problem with the tools appropriate for the job. I don’t give a shit if they make fucking chicken or not or if 3rd & BrownNose sticks a wing up his ass. Cook obviously has a great knack for restaurants, and I am sure he will continue to be successful. As for the rest of you, well, you need all the help you can get. But keep acting like idiots on the internet, OK.

Actually Overhyped, it’s fried chicken that we love. And we don’t exactly hate doughnuts either.

You people who don’t like Federal Donuts are assholes. You people complaining about selling out early aren’t really into getting their food because you would plan a lunch hour to go. Those people who really want their chicken get it. Those people don’t bitch because they know the planning and hike are worth it. They’re opening another location. And the PR team is called Profile not Public Profile. And they sure as shit don’t send chicken to anyone. They send donuts. If Foobooz gets chicken its because Art stands in line. So shut up.

We get it, Foobooz loves the people who do PR for Federal Donuts (PublicProfile). Try not to be so obvious by overhyping something plain, it makes guest angry when they go there and it’s a let down.

Wow. Jacques’ a douche. Did it ever occur to you that they don’t WANT to be open to the wee hours of the night supplying every person’s fancy? It’s a nice model. They sell out, they close, they make their money. They don’t have to worry about staffing multiple shifts, etc. It’s a nice, simple business model and it works.

Enough already with the armchair business experts…

Is there a Best of Philadelphia category for Prep Cook? Zach should be that guy.

It’s fun watching people be horrible on the internet.

The team not behind FD has not only been successful, for years, but actually, one of them even went to Wharton and FCI.

Keep on commenting on the net though believing you know more though.

Tijuana, it’s OK to be skeptical of Wikipedia articles, but that article is just math, so it’s a simple fact. But nonetheless, I am sure you will dig right into this paper, Mr. Skeptic. http://opim.wharton.upenn.edu/~cachon/pdf/cachon_schweitzer_ms.pdf

With the level of complacency demonstrated here, it’s no wonder so many ignorant restaurateurs go out of business. Do you hate knowledge? Do you hate sustainable businesses?

Oh Jacques and Foodiesupreme. They didn’t patent the concept. You can do it too!! And better!!!!

In fact, Federal has been helping other startups in other cities. That may have been in that little New York Times article about them.

It’s a good thing they have you guys around to show them how to be successful.
