Why would you buy an ice cream machine from McDonalds? They have bland food and cut cola with hygiene problems in their ice machines.

If you run a franchise, you have to get the machine from a specific vendor. That vendor makes a killing charging for their techs to come over to fix those machines. There's some videos on YouTube that explain how the scam works.
