Here are your steps to success McDonald's. I'll be waiting for my check:
1. Improve the quality of the food. They have been increasingly taking shortcuts and using fillers or whatnot and the food just sucks now.
2. Cut back on your menu. Go back to what made you; burgers, fries, soft drinks, shakes.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I would love to know why these overpaid executives don't go directly to the source, us, and ask us why their business is failing. After all, we're the ones making it fail, and we're making it fail because there is something significant we don't like about it. Why don't they just say, "Hey customers, why don't you want to buy McDonalds anymore? What are we doing wrong?" But no, they won't do that. They just hold pointless meetings amongst themselves, decide on an equally pointless plan of action, and begin the long, slow decent into bankruptcy.

Haven't you heard? Reaching a certain level in management automatically means you know everything about anything. They have all the answers!
Yep. I went to one about a month ago and there is no cashier, just kiosks and people making the food in the back.
I think they should all have kiosks instead of rude cashiers who get an attitude if you ask for an extra pack of ketchup. They also need to invest in some new equipment. I hate it when I want a mccafe drink or frappe and the machine is down.

How the hell would you know McDonalds isn't dong that? What is your source? Or are you just blindly making up stuff? Its called market research, and companies have whole teams of people who handle this. The problem is people like you want a $12 burger that costs $3 with the service quality of a 5 star restaurant. If they make the $12 burger you complain and go somewhere else. You obviously have no understanding of how businesses and corporations work in the real world do you.

Simple. If Mc Donald's were doing market research, this thread wouldn't exist. They have had the same problems for years. And we the people have been saying the same thing all this time: the menu is too complicated, the service is substandard even for a fast food joint, and the food quality has gone down the crapper while the prices have gone way up.

What problem? They are by far the largest fast food restaurant in the WORLD, so they obviously did some research! So you're saying a thread on an internet forum qualifies as a legitimate source?? I'm guessing you get the rest of your news from facebook. WHere is your research??
90% of the people who posted on this thread didn't even read the story! 90% of the people who read the story didn't understand i

Eh too many people want different things. Some want McDonald's to be cheap others dont want that. It is all over the place and even with focus groups you might not get a full idea or unified vision. Trust me, this is happening where my father works.

The arrogance and stupidity on this forum is shocking! Does anyone these days read the news or research or make sure they know what they are talking about before going on long false rants based on nothing? Easy to find information proving the direct opposite of what all these negative posters have been posting.
The combination of McDonald's planned rollout of fresh, never-frozen beef, its recent relaunch of its Dollar Menu and woes at other restaurant chains could help the restaurant boost its same-store sales and grab more market share in the industry.
The burger giant's stock ended 2017 up more than 41 percent, the largest stock move in the restaurant industry during the year, and more than one analyst is calling for more gains in the new year.
Nomura-Instinet analyst Mark Kalinowski raised his earnings expectations and stock price target for the chain Tuesday, calling it his top restaurant pick for 2018.
He predicts that same-store sales for the company will continue to grow, particularly in the second half of this year, citing the national rollout of fresh, never-frozen beef in its Quarter Pounder and Signature Crafted burgers as a major catalyst.
The problem with McDonald's is their food, not their employees. The sandwiches and other food portions are too small. When you order a meal at McDonald's you get a message by the size of the portion that says "I don't care about my reputation, I just want to save money by giving you the smallest amount of food that I can get away with."
For a long time this has been the case. I avoid going to this "restaurant" because of these small food portions that seem to be meant for little children rather than adults.
McDonald's can restructure all it wants, but if it doesn't improve the size of their food portions then they will continue to be buffeted around by their competitors
I would contend it's the opposite. McDonald's has tried too hard to pretend it's not a purveyor of junk food and is getting it's lunch eaten by Jack in the Box and Taco Bell who own what they are and embrace it instead of trying to streamline food items or make them appear healthier/hip and more expensive. Heck, even In-n-out is cheaper than McDonald's on the whole with better product.
With some of the deals out there at sit down fast casual restaurants like Chili's, one could get a steak dinner with an appetizer and a desert for less than a combination meal at McDonald's. That's just crazy.
