The following is an excerpt from the McBrew Franchisee owner handbook:
Welcome, New Franchise Owner!

Welcome to the McBrew family. We're happy to have you here. As a McBrew franchise location, you'll serve our customers in a variety of ways.

Here at McBrew, we offer products made from our line of three versitile plants. The Devil Rose has great value to the necromantic arts, the Weeping Vine is great for curses, and the Placebo Dill will cure literally anything, guaranteed*!

We also offer our franchisee owners the ability to upgrade their state of the art facilities to an even statier of the art facility. Some of the additional features high-level McBrew locations offer are:

  • Grinding herbs into powder.
  • Brewing powder into potions.
  • Using state of the art demonic summoning to convert potions into potent scrolls.

We hope you enjoy your time as a McBrew franchisee owner! What's that? The rent keeps going up every day? Just ignore that, you'll do fine. No, we're not a pyramid scheme. Why does everyone keep asking?
