Having met Schwartz and his team, I think you'd be surprised by how he describes his role: it's simple. That's why he can do the job at a young age.
Burger King sells a well-known product in a predictable market. They don't invent crazy new things. They operate efficiently and scale operations that work.
Facebook pioneers technology and products that the world hasn't seen before. For Facebook to do so well requires a combination of grand vision, operational effectiveness, recruiting and managing ultra-high caliber talent, and more.
Burger King isn't an "easy" business to run but it's a well-defined business with a simpler playbook than a company like Facebook.
I'm sure BK's investors are great advisors but I suspect the company's success is because of the highly capable team tackling a market with a well defined playbook.
