Wendy’s reported a weak third quarter while launching the multiyear “Dave’s Way” turnaround. The plan makes breakfast optional for U.S. franchisees, refreshes the menu, expands digital initiatives, and targets restaurant-level improvements, while the board rejected a $1.4 billion takeover proposal.
