Quit letting the nanny-state food police drive your menu and make the food that sells!!!
Use better buns. The ones they use now taste life cardboard.
Put real meat in their hamburgers?
Pay all employees $25 and hour.
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.
They need to bring back the grimace and the whole gang!
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.
Hire people who can get an order right.
Sell Slug Burgers, Cheap.
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
7 hamburgers for a buck.
get a better grade of roadkill, too
Good food.
Good service.
Clean restaurants.
But they’ve lost me for good. I get a burger once every two weeks and I am not giving McDonalds a dime. When I treat myself I go to Five Guys or one of the small gourmet burger joints in town.
The fries tasted better (sadly, well before I was born) because McDonald’s used to fry them in beef tallow. Now they use soybean oil.
We render our own bison when they die of accidents and etc. and the tallow gets saved for deep frying and it is awesome! Beef tallow would probably taste even better and I’d use it if we could get it!
We’re finally getting a Chik-Fil-A here in my small town. No doubt coffin nails for the local McD’s. I also wish someone would create a new Fish & Chips type place. I really think that is an overlooked market. Cod-Fil-A anyone?
and yes, we used to live McD’s
they basically have some reasonably good product designs, it is just that the products themselves seem to have been downgraded in quality
McD: you don;t have to duplicate others but do take a look at the successful new fast food burger joints.... (5 guys, Sonic, In and Out, etc.).
just put a McD burger next to any of the above and anyone can immediately see the large quality difference.
you can adjust size or whatever you wish to deal with price point issues, okay, but .... you have to upgrade your quality as your first step if you want your old, loyal customers back
just saying we don’t want to pay $15 for a couple of lunches and then have to belch them up on the car seat
