4. Introduction
McDonald's Corporation is the world's largest chain of FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS,
serving nearly 58 million customers daily. It was
started by two brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in
San Bernardino, California in 1940. McDonald's
restaurants are found in more than 119 countries and
territories around the world and serve nearly 47
million customers each day. McDonald's operates
over 31,000 restaurants worldwide, employing more
than 1.5 million people. The company also operates
other restaurant brands, such as Piles Café, and has a
minority stake in Prêt a Manger.
McDonald’s MISSION AND VISION: We serve people with good quality food, fast
and at low cost. McDonald's vision is to dominate the global food-service
industry. Global dominance means setting the performance standard for
customer satisfaction and increases market share and profitability through
successfully implementing our convenience, value and execution strategies.
CUSTOMERS: Customers are those who pay money to acquire an organization's
goods or services. For many years McDonald's mostly targeted the young people,
however this has changed in this decade; McDonald's has turned towards a more
general market. By doing this McDonald's concentrates on the family, targeting a
diverse market which includes consumers ranging from children to elderly people,
using products such as the happy Meal for children and Egg Mc Muffin for the
elderly. McDonald's also realized the changing world we live in and the need for
healthier food, since there is an ever changing demographic group, who demand
fast, top quality food that is low in calories. McDonald's responded to this
opportunity and introduced a new and innovative product. This new product was
a regular hamburger that tasted like the real thing but was made of plant material
like Soya beans. This same product also targets another demographic group,
vegetarians. McDonald's mostly uses psychographic segmentation targeting the
working and middle classes. These are the people that are more susceptible to
5. enter a fast food restaurant, since these are the people that lead a fast moving
life and thus require a fast meal. In brief McDonald's customers are of all classes,
but largely working and middle classes, and people of all ages.

18. Recommendations
Most of the customers are student and working professionals, so company
should pay more attention on this group of the society. They should also focus on
enhancement of enjoyment and maintain the quality of food they provide. Most
of the customers are looking for quality, price and variety in same restaurant so if
Mc Donald’s want to maintain as well as retain its customer then it should try to
maintain all the three things.
It was seen that if the price of the products increases by 25% then 55.75% of the
customers will be consistent with mc Donald or their visit will increase so there no
need for them to worry abut their customers but they should maintain quality.
but if we see that if the price decreases then 84% of the customers show positive
results. So if possible company should look on this factor also, it should try every
possible way through which it can maintain this 84% of the customers.
Consumers expect that waiter service should be provided because most of them
want to sit and have there food without any disturbance. As most of the
customers want to have full enjoyment so it would be recommended that music
or t.v should be provided because sometimes customer has to wait long.they can
also provide special facilities for every segment like giving offers.
