BuirSkraan's Corporation is a Makkonian privately-owned multinational fast food chain founded in Ckouhills, Livonia, Makko Oko on June 23rd, 2006. BuirSkraan's was founded by father Anthony Tolmie about a year after the end of the economic boom in the nation after his wife, Maria Tolmie, passed away to an undiagnosed health problem because she, as a working parent, saved to put food on the table. BuirSkraan's concept was created from the original recipes of Maria and later of their two children, and always had a motivation of "cheap Makkonian food for a great price". In early 2008, BuirSkraan's opted to expand into franchising to be in more than one city and to be able to generate more profits. By mid-2009, they had to sell the company due to their lack of experience and inability to manage ever-scaling operations. Anthony would stay on as CEO and Chairman until 2014 when he would retire due to disagreements.

Etymology

The name "BuirSkraan's" is Makuri for "ParentFood's", which is a reference to the father directly providing their family recipes cooked for you.

History

2000-2005: The Economic Boom

The economic boom was a time of massive growth in the nation and saw the rise of major subsidization by the Republican Government. The boom was what kicked off the early 2000's however it started in late 1999 after the government's first subsidy program was introduced. By 2005, the subsidies were repealed and the economy started reeling from the effects of that, with approximately 40% of the businesses formed from the programs going out of business due to the lack of them. This saw the nation enter the next era of independence of businesses from the government with rarely any interference except for required regulation.

2006-2007: The Start of BuirSkraan's

A year after the economic boom came to a halt, Maria Tolmie unexpectedly passed away at their home in Ckouhills at the age of 38. An autopsy revealed that she had cancer in the thigh and that "walking would have been unbearable" according to the ME's redacted report released after a RGRA request. Maria had been a jack of all trades in cooking and it was her passion. So, her husband, Anthony, took it upon himself to start a restaurant sharing out these recipes and he quit his full-time job to do it, investing all their life savings into it. BuirSkraan's was chosen as the name because they served food and the food was served from a family to you.

Anthony bought out an abandoned building and revamped it into a tiny restaurant. This restaurant, referred to as "Maria's Home" later on, had a collage of photos of Maria and Anthony's family and Maria herself. Originally, BuirSkraan's was a restaurant, and not fast food, however Anthony noticed later on that many of the foods that took longer to cook, even if they were delicious, were not being bought and instead the quicker-cooked food such as the later-called BuirNugget, which were pieces of fried boneless chicken that were shaped like minerals you might find in a cave, were served. With none of the other fast food chains yet expanding to Ckouhills, Anthony decided to turn BuirSkraan's into a fast food establishment in 2007 and greatly limited the menu, while changing up recipes for other foods to bring the cooking and prep time down.

2008-2009: Expansion & Sale

Business had been doing rather well, with a single month generating upwards of SLO$550K, however, the onslaught of competing establishments brought forth lowering revenues, even though the menu was relatively cheaper overall than other fast food chains. The most expensive item on the menu around 2007-2008 was the special nugget and potato soup that cost SLO$5.50 and only came in one size. Anthony decided to expand operations by opening a franchise program, as it was seen as most cost-effective at the time.

By the end of 2008, five locations had opened up, with three of them opening up in areas with already existing competition. By March 2009, two more had opened, with a planned corporate flagship location in Joria. By July 2009, Anthony explored a potential sale of the business to help "further my wife's dream" and due to the lack of experience and knowledge in managing a large franchise operation.
