The renovations usually take place in the kitchens and storage areas. Seating isn't a big demand nowadays. Rather than having to cut open the roof to refurbish and replace a couple fume hoods or add another grill, the new design is more maintenance and construction friendly.
Did you think those roofs were just for show? They were machinery and storage spaces: cramped and unnavigable. Pizza Hut was the worst offender here.

its hipster design philosophy combined with market analysis pyschologist types.
like 10 years ago companies figured out that the human brain recognises monochrome simple shapes quicker and easier than complicated colourful logos so literally everything is shifting towards that.

it even happens in video games.

The Answer is quite simple. They got a lot of bad press because they did almost all of their marketing to kids. Tv shows, BK kids clubs, video games, mascots, and the stores were designed to make kids beg their parents to bring them to a fast food joint.

There was nothing soulful about this design. It was corporate crap. Basically every fast food place copied that shitty design cooked up by some market research team deciding people responded to the design well plus it was cheap enough to make every place look like that shit.

Accurate. While fast food architecture has gotten more homogenized, it was never good anything other than focus-grouped nonsense. Nostalgia is one thing, but going all "this is what they took from you" about a nasty, plastic-signed, logo-coated fast food restaurant is embarrassing.

You're just incorrect. Pic related, an old-style pizza hut building that was purchased by Subway. About 10 years ago, before they redesigned the buildings, you'd see this this all the time.

As I said in my post, all of look like shoddy immigrant owned businesses. No well known company is going to purchase the former fast food building without having plans to renovate everything, which becomes costly. This means that McDonald's, BK, Pizza Hut, etc have to settle for selling it at a much lower price to some Indian dude who will settle for any space.

I imagine myself entering McDonald's, walking up to the counter to place my order. I address the middle aged Salvadorian woman who is shaped like a bag of potatoes, and say "I'll have the Travis Scott meal." She would reply "what to drink" and I would look at her quizzically and say "I said Travis Scott meal... I gotta have my Sprite." She will say "anyting else" to which I would reply confidently "yeah.

She hands me the medium drink cup and the receipt, while I wonder why she even asked what I wanted to drink, when everyone knows the Travis Scott Meal is supposed to come with a Sprite.

They do this sometimes. Gas stations bring a lot of profit so it pays for itself shortly. However it's discouraged by zoning and environmental regulations now unless absolutely necessary for the community, since the tanks frequently end up leaking into the soil eventually. Where I live gas stations have a special zoning code so you have to go through a rezoning process (at least 5 years) to even get the right to build one.

no, they don't. McDonald's caters to people who are in poverty, period. The prime demographic of McDonald's is single moms between the ages of 15 and 45. I'd be $1000 that that demographic is the biggest consumer of McDonald's. The goal of mcdonald's is to shovel the goyslop to the goy at a low price that is still profitable. No need for a cute looking building when the mom goes to get burgers and the children are at home.

One of the current motifs of this architecture revolves around the logo and the name being the only prominent thing you want your customers to notice. In order to know what building it is, you have to look for the logo and name specifically. It gets you more familiar with the logo and the name. In the world of the Internet and App orders, what can fit into a phone icon is all they want you to know them as.

A bell. Clean, straight lines, visibility. Clean. Sterile. Safe. Distant. Exactly how it looks on your phone, in-person.

>Fast food franchises don't buy property with the idea of resale. And they certainly don't design their buildings around it.
When McDonalds realized how much they could sell their locations for vs. purchase cost, they absolutely started doing exactly this. They make bank leasing to their franchisees, then make a killing selling the properties 10-20-30 years down the road when sales or employment dwindle or wages need to rise. Starbucks does exactly the same thing with a set and stated goal of gentrification to boost their real estate prices - they might rent at first to check an area's viability, or if there's no chance of buying or building cheaply enough for the purpose of selling in a guaranteed great market. Once it's time to build, the rentals close down and the standalones pop up, looking like a Starbucks-branded office. If an "Area" does poorly for long enough, Starbucks will absolutely sell off properties and keep high-performing rentals.

Simple - most fast food chains are franchised, which means if the franchisee ever needs to sell a location, the generic, simplified architecture makes that easier to do. Also, restaurants have shrunk in size since not as many people eat in the lobby as they used to, which has only been accelerated as a
consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
