The $174,000 is from:

The profiled manager's base pay: $85,000

Monthly bonus for hitting financial targets: $5,000 - $7,500

They are also operating a location that, according to the article, sometimes sees 100+ cars lined up at the drivethrough. That isn't normal and should not last long. If this was a Starbucks or MacDonalds I would expect another location to be opened across the street in order to meet demand, slashing sales at the first location. The second location would probably be owned by the same franchise but likely not under the same floor manager.

  • Its a canes, its pretty hyped up and they aren’t a business to open one on each corner. Its not as hyped as chic fil a or in an out that can get a drive thru line spilling out on the street on the moon, but its close.

Which means she's managed to miss just $1,000 of possible bonus; her own bonus range is at least as tight as $6,500-$7,500pcm (i.e. only that wide if it were a single 'bad' month).

  • I am not sure that the manager in question has ever made $174K. Headlines are often very misleading (this one even says "up to $174,000"), and the only mention of $174K in the article body is:

    > her pay can reach $174,000 annually

    • Hm, weird to go with the less round and incorrect number then though? It can be 175k?
