<p>Register Templates was maybe the first business I started.  In 1994 I noticed that while <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000130036" title="Burger King" rel="tracked" href="http://www.tracked.com/company/burger-king/">Burger King</a> had 10,000 locations, all the keyboard-overlays on their registers were hand-drawn.  In other words, if you buy a <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000007776a7" title="Mcdonalds Corporation" rel="tracked" href="http://www.tracked.com/company/mcdonalds-corporation/">McDonalds</a>, McDonalds assigns you a POS system.  As such, if they want to change the menu, they can probably just push a button in Oakbrook, Illinois, and all the buttons labeled &#8220;Mc DLT&#8221; will magically say &#8220;Arch Deluxe.&#8221;  But with most any other franchise, you have a lot of choices in building one out, including which brand of register to get.  Because of this, you have to make your own register templates.  So I approached a regional holding company and they asked me to outfit their 13 Burger Kings.  16 years later, the market still has presented no other option than I for key templates.  As such, I&#8217;m hereby reinvigorating that business with <a href="http://www.registertemplates.com/">RegisterTemplates.com</a>.</p>
