Does open source work?

So I need an inventory system that allows for shipments to be scanned, tracked, inventory scanned in, and batch payouts all sent out.

Do open source systems work? Why do developers need to "code from scratch"? Seems like a waste of time or they are lying.

Why aren't more programs just easy to deploy?

Subway Truth Exposed

Hear me out. I don't eat at subway.

  1. They charge franchisees 8% royalties. Highest amongst any franchise.

  2. This means franchisees pay 8% royalty, 4% advertising, 12% before any other fees.

  3. On top of the 12%, franchisees must buy products through Subway, which Subway makes more money on.

  4. Subway sees a successful location, tells another franchisee to open next to it. Literally ruining successful stores, because they are guaranteed the cash via royalties.

  5. Google "subway franchisee complaints" and you will see a massive list of franchisees complaining.

If corporate cannot support they people who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to open a location, we shouldn't eat there.
