"final assembly of food"?

I haven't eaten McDonald's in a while, but from what I remember the food arrived fully assembled.

McDonald’s sells their marketing and logistics, and rents real estate, to franchisors. The franchisors’ business is the one that employs people who do final assembly of the food.

The franchisors’ profits and profit margins are nowhere near McDonalds’.
