Apparently the backlash was strong enough, that they have announced that they have "abandoned the idea."

I suspect they're just going to stick it in a drawer and try again in a couple years, without a massive announcement beforehand
They will still do it as planned. They were morons for bragging about it. Papa john's already let's you pay like $2 or $3 during peak to have your delivery bumped to the top of the list. But they sold that as a feature Wendy's isn't offering you anything but the chance to get fucked over.
Maybe they also looked at how much it would cost to update every Wendy's with digital signage when they barely have enough money to staff the stores.
Oh. They have the money. They just don't want to spend any of "their" profits.
