friesDAO (Franchises & Restaurants Integrated Efficiently & Systematically) is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) on Ethereum seeking to buy fast food stores. For the first time in history, we will attempt to bridge blockchain-based governance with real world operations of well known franchise brands. From these operations we seek to scale in a decentralized manner, scaling into cities around the world, and shaping the utility of our endeavor through community discussions and tokenized governance. There are primarily two models: (a) contract ownership from which the community governs store profits; and (b) merchant cash advance model in which store owners who need funds can be financed in exchange for joining the friesDAO community via $FRIES tokens and offering NFT-gated perks.
