I worked at Wendy's in high school and college right at the peak of the Superbar era. The garlic bread at the Italian station was hamburger buns that had been brushed with garlic butter and grilled. Almost all of the hot food was powdered mixes or (in the case of the pasta) par-cooked, so you would just have to add hot water to quickly prepare it. So it was pretty cheap, but it was fairly mediocre quality. I remember them being a lot of work to keep stocked and clean, which may have been one of the reasons they didn't last.
The powdered mix makes sense for the quality. It seemed like two people were constantly working to refill things at the Wendy's I went to as I got older. Lot of effort.
