re: Why do fast food restaurants not sell beer?

When I visited Italy about 20 years ago, I went to a McDonald’s simply for the novelty of drinking a beer. I think it was even a pretty good beer, maybe Peroni?

I don’t go to Taco Cabana very often but will sometimes get a beer or HH frozen Margarita.

I know it's random, but I was at a Long John Silvers in Tell City, Indiana about 20 years ago that sold Miller Lite.

All Hail Taco Cabana

Of course you can, I literally have 3 teenagers that work for me that sell alcohol.

And to the OP, the main reason, which is also the main reason why so many fricking things suck now in this country, is because of liability lawsuits and fricking lawyers. Can you imagine how expensive the insurance would be for a McDonalds franchisee? Also permits are kinda pricey but doable. The main problem is employees. I dont own one but I would assume the employees within any fast food franchise are a major pain in the arse (minus Chik Fil A of course), so throwing alcohol in the mix isnt likely a good recipe. How much would it really increase revenue anyway? Extremely low margins in beer sales if you arent adding taps. Liquor, different story. Wow, tangent point, but could you imagine walking into McDonalds and ordering a McGangBang and then getting a styrofoam cup and walking over to a beer dispensary that has 8 dif things on tap just like the fountain drink machine does?! You would turn McDonalds into destination dining whereas they really just want people to get their shite and get the frick out of there. Maybe a drive thru only concept, like an adult happy meal could work. Give out birth control too while theyre at it.

Shake shack does.

Pizza Hut used to sell beer but I am not sure if they still do.

Pizza Hut used to be a restaurant but I don’t think they exist anymore. But yes they used to sell beer for sure.

Would you consider Subway fast food? Because if so then Felipe’s is a Mexican food Subway that serves alcohol

Compile a list of what it would cost vs the potential income. Normal people that are eating at those places sober don’t want beer. Drunk people eating at those places have obviously already consumed enough beer.

Do like a cold brew with a whopper. First thing I get when I land n Germany.
