Among the challenges it is facing are intensifying competition and an image for serving junk food that it just can't seem to shake.

Use better buns. The ones they use now taste life cardboard.

Yep. Back to the very basics on which they were founded and upon which their empire was built in the first place...and bring back the styrofoam burger clamshells. Less style, more substance.

I hate the new fries. But forget about going back. This CEO issued the GAYEST sounding progressive statement about the future of the company I have ever read.

Put the worms back in the burger meat. They tasted better back then.

Go union and minimum wage. That will fix them for good.

Make food that tastes good.

Go back to frying your potatoes in tallow.

Start serving something that tastes like real beef instead of boiled and warmed up horse meat.

That should do it.

Two companies that would never make it if they started TODAY instead of when they did: McDonald’s and Starbucks.

Both were basically first to their respective chains, and got huge because of it. Now that there is plenty of competition in their markets that are much better options.

McDonalds is NOT a food company, it is a real estate company.

the food has some (relatively, last few years anyway) new chemicals (we can tell because a McD causes instantaneous belching here, something it never did before...and no other burger joint’s products do today)

get rid of as many chemical additives as you can
then
either improve the sandwiches ... better quality... better buns, those buns are horrid!

and your prices have crept up beyond what many of us are willing to pay just to feed slop to the hungry dogs at the park
