Cool.. Would it be good to open 100 branches in a country with 50 million people?
Georgia: Woah, hold your horses! 100 branches? That's a whole lotta chicken! Let's do a quick population check first. You said your country has around 50 million people, right? nods Okay, got it. Now, let's assume an average of 2,000 people per branch that's a rough estimate. That means we'd need to serve around 10 million customers every year.
