So /ck/, I'm in th position to influence some major McDonald's menu changes in the near future. I'm an MBA student at USC and my midterm consists of recommending some new items for McDonald's or bringing back some old promotions. I will be presenting to their VP or Marketing.

One problem: I don't eat this shit.

I have a couple of concepts including permanently placing the McRib on the menu, making a 50pc McNugget bucket, bringing back the Super Size option, or introducing some sliced meats options (think Arby's).

But I figured /ck/ would know better. Thought?
>>
>>8169325
thought: tell the guy "I don't eat this shit" and tell him what you DO eat afterwards
he'll take it from there, if he has any integrity

If you're serious that's pretty neat

Make them bring back that one burger with pickled jalapeños
>>
Why are you contributing to an industry which you don't patronize and which you think is shit? Isn't that against your morals?

I am not judging, my career is the exact same thing. Why do we do it?

To answer your question, I don't know. I don't eat that shit.

Tell them to teach their employees to custom build a burger, so that way people have more freedom.

Seems kinda silly for a person whose expertise is in health to be making business recommendations. They won't pay attention to a word you say because they know you don't get the big picture, the whole thing is just one big circle-jerk.

Hey man I hear you. I've worked in consulting in my young adult career and that means working on accounts that I love and hate. I don't have anything against McDonald's in particular, I just don't eat fast food. I personally don't like what McDonald's has become in terms of McCafe and salads. I think they should go back to the days of Super Size everything and offer an indulgent food experience that's quick, tasty, and affordable. But to answer your question, I don't hate McDonald's, and I've always been impressed with /ck/ and their viewpoints on food.

Because it's a stupid idea. You don't go to a fast food place for a custom burger. You want to pick from a set menu that some jackoff went to "burger school" for so he could create the perfect cheapass shitty burger by moving the pickles up a layer and using red onion instead of yellow, and then you ask them to hold the pickles and onion anyway because you're a childish fucking asshole. THAT'S what people want from fast food. They don't want to go inside and sit there fucking around with a touchscreen that doesn't even work 50% of the time and has a piece of paper scotch taped to it saying it's out of service, only to have some teenage retard fuck it up anyway and if you have the time to customize a burger why didn't you go to a real burger joint anyway, one of those ones with the shitty golf scorecards and the microdick pencils and all their burgers just taste like burnt anyway and half the time you have to sit outside at a shitty round picnic bench with a parasol that's broken and there's bees.

THAT'S why those machines were a flop.

The only reason for the McRib's popularity is its ephemeral nature, so making it a permanent item wouldn't work. Maintaining the game of showing up in various locations but actually advertising where it will be, however, could easily make more sales, as it attract not only the die-hard fans who are already using things like the McRib Locator, but also people who have heard of it but have yet to try one.
>>
>>8169325
Okay, well there's one area where McDonald's is totally off the radar -- the midnight munchie crowd. Taco Bell and Whitecastle have pretty much got it on lockdown.

I know McDonald's has been trying to do upscale places, and sell premium products, but it hasn't been working out for them. You're on the right track with a massive McNugget box. I'd also suggest sliders and party packs.
>>
>>8169423
The all-day breakfast thing is hilarious

Breakfast in general is dogshit, the worst meal of the day, and at any given moment I'd rather have a McDouble than one of their shitty, faux-syrup griddle sandwiches.

>permanent McRib

McRib is shit, too shit to be permanent. It's an established item with a cult reputation, allowing it to be seasonal and enjoyed yearly without fans of it becoming burnt out. It needs to be scarce or else people will hate it.

>50pc McNugget

Too little demand. Go for fries instead, that's what people want bulk orders of. Switch to optional beef tallow fries for 50 cents more.

>sliced meats

Disgusting. This is McDonalds. Just think "McDonalds sliced meats". It sounds awful. Food served at McDonalds needs to be food that's palatable even under the notion that its frozen and factory made. Think ovenable "appetizers" and shit, that's where McDonalds maybe can branch out. Even then, like with the mozzarella sticks, it can be a hit and miss.


I think they need to make buffalo chicken selects, and make sure they only use the skinniest breasts they can. They can chop fat breasts into two to make more and increase profits, the bulk of selects should be breading anyways. That's why they're so delicious.
>>
Tell them to so trying to be upscale because the dirt poor motherfuckers who eat there don't care and they need to focus on getting back to what they used to do so well; dirt cheap tasty garbage food.

Make a deluxe McChicken on the value menu for $2. Same as regular McChicken but add cheese, bacon, and tomato. Or do big Macs with chicken patties instead of beef.

If you can't already tell for me it is the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich.

Your ideas don't sound bad actually, profit-wise.

McRib and Jalapeño Something Something Burger are the only things I liked at McD
>>
>>8169325
>permanently placing McRib on the menu
The reason this sells so well is because they don't have it all the time. If it was around all the time the novelty would wear out. All major chains have items like this, should be basic knowledge to you
>bringing back the Super Size option
Would receive too much negative backlash. They got rid of it to make the health nuts happy.
>>
>>8169525
I don't think it would eat into nugger sales much, since I don't think anyone but kids order them much anyway. You could make something similar to chik fil a nuggets and call them McNugget Selects™ probably, if the price was reasonable compared to similar fast food chicken items.
>>
>>8169530
>Or do big Macs with chicken patties instead of beef.
The chicken Mac exists internationally, just not in the US. I don't see why they couldn't do it.

>>8169534
The reason the McRib is limited time only, is because it's only cost effective when the price of pork drops. That's the entire reason for the promotion. Right now pork is expensive. There's no way they'd add it to the menu permanently.

There will be better quality burgers in the future, there are testing retaurants for the CYT and I saw a post saying its going to flop, but my location In Edmonton (Canada) they sell pretty dang well and people are pretty happy with them.

breaded beef patty, southern style, fancy cheese or cheese sauce if its already there, jalapenos,

breaded beef patty, bacon, cheese, peppersauce/pepperbacon

breaded beef patty, egg, cheese, on biscuit, on croissant. on pancakes or waffles or muffins, with pepper sauce.

make the pepper sauce basically a white pepper gravy powder mix that's concentrated enough and has the texture changed so it can just be put into a squirt bottle.

basically get some frozen salisbury steak manufacturers to cut a round mold and bread it. pretty simple. they'll have all the stuff already for it.

it's chicken fried steak basically. can be made fast in the fryer.

later on do the breaded beef patty with breaded chicken patty big mac thing.

if it comes off, you can make beef mcnuggets really easily with a new fitting for the same machines that make the salisbury steaks/breaded beef patties.

You can specifically ask for a big mac with chicken instead of beef if you ask nicely.

Instead of trying to bring more shit to the mcdonalds menu, display to them the mountain of choices currently available at US mcds. Its far too much, i'm a bit overwhelmed at the 5 menu boards, which don't even show 100% of the menu.

Start axing low performing items, increase volume of high performers by lowering the fucking price back to a god damn dollar which made mcds boom just years ago. Stop trying to compete with every single fast food place out there, and do what mcds did best. Cheap, hot, fast. The doublecheeseburger has got to be their single biggest seller ever and they jew us by only having 1 slice of cheese, and still charging $1.49 for it. Oh you want that extra slice of cheese? that'll be $0.30. Fuck off Ronald, I know your cost on that is about 4 cents.

Seriously, slim the menu down, don't add more shit to flop in the spirit of trying to recapture market share from a competitor.

I like how someone said a giant serving of fries. I think everyone agrees their fries are very tasty and i think they are known for them.

The large fry they have just isnt enough sometimes. DESU they never fill those up like they should.

I like to eat just the fries sometimes and an order of McMega size fries with a free large drink for $5 sounds great.

There are 7 different meals on the menu at the McDonald's restaurants in my area regardless of what google says.

It used to be more than 15 different meals years ago, they keep cutting over and over and over again. Cutting items really has not helped the stock now has it?

Cutting more items does not make it a better restaurant does it?

Furthermore, how long do you think the cost of a double cheeseburger can stay the same?

Do you not understand that things get more expensive?

Why do you feel the need to curse, and directly insult me?

Pork prices and lack of consistent consumer demand means the McRib is not feasible as a permanent menu item. My 2cents is that you whould suggest something like a Croquette burger, similar to what they sell in McD's Japan. Have them make it vegetarian as well.

>How about convincing them to make it out of real food and not random bullshit?
McDonald's is indeed bad for you, but the ingredients are a far cry from "random bullshit."

Their burger patties are actually plain beef, with nothing else added to it. Personally, I think the only thing bad about it is how bland it is.

The "pink slime" is a myth. McNuggets aren't made of that shit, no matter how many times you see it on Facebook and Twitter.

At worst, you could make a case for the buns and the condiments, but those things are almost always processed.

It's not the ingredients that's making people fat and unhealthy. It's the competitive pricing, ease of access, and lack of consumer self-control that's causing those problems.

He's in an MBA course not a retard easy undergrad business class. You need to analyze it financially and look at market trends along with supply costs. If they started to try and use organic, it would cost tens / hundreds of millions just to start up buying the supplies, creating a new factory line (can't combine organic / non organic on the same factory line) and advertising. Then the prices of the food themselves would have to reflect the investment, leading to having organic McDonalds burgers costing ~$8-12 which doesnt reflect McDonalds basic platform of fast and easy.

>tl;dr this isnt a bullshit undergrad class where you give a feelgood answer

>>8169325
Personally, and from having it at a different chain abroad, a burger with a fried egg / hashbrown (and optional spicy sauce) would be amazing. McDonalds stores already have all the ingredients on hand to do it too.
>>
I've always marveled at their avoidance of hot dogs. Is there a reason for it? Slice a wiener down the middle, grill it, and pop it on a toasted McRib bun if it needs to be a sandwich. Put tator tots on the menu. Go for poutine in the US but call it something more generically American - usually disco fries, but that's possibly too esoteric for the general population. Those flavor shaker bags for fries were genius, do they still have that?

Won't happen. The appeal and marketing around it is based on limited availability. That's a very conscious decision that is likely often revisited. Not original at all, it won't get you any point.
> 50pc McNugget meal
Could have potential, but you'd need to tie it into something else for it to be marketable. Sports season or something like that as a party platter idea with it's own packaging. Still pushing it there, but could be put on the table.l
>Super Size
Nope. There is way too much bad press surrounding it that led to it being removed. Not even the marketing team were able to shake it off, they won't risk it.
>Deli meat sandwiches a la Arby's
They won't want to mimick another chain that is not burger related that closely. The fact that you specify Arby's shows how unoriginal that idea is.

You're on a shitty track OP. You're looking at it all wrong, this is not how you start what would essentially be a product development project in a corporate food company. You don't eat McDonalds, why not? What is it missing that you want but isn't offered? That's what you bring to the table, that's what you try to convince them to sell. I grew up in the industrial side of food, my dad was head of R&D for a large food company and I saw the process from start to finish multiple times. You can't go completely off brand, but you need to offer something new, even if it's a twist on something that exists so that it appeals to a different market.

So research past items that have been removed, find the reasoning, and find an item that hasn't been offered and do some risk analysis. Have stats to back you up. Prove that you know what the fuck you're talking about and why this would be a great idea. Don't let personal distaste get in the way of this, it's a great opportunity and trust me when I say that people in the industry all know each other and will shit talk you or build you up enough for a potential job in the future.

They already tried 50 nuggers with football, even the McWings to football, both plans flopped. Because when you go to a football party, particularly a superbowl party, nobody fucking wants mcdonalds.

>Super Size
I don't see whats wrong with this. Carls jr takes pride in this big thick messy burgers. Wendy's baconator started as a joke burger and it became a permanent menu item because of its popularity.

Stop caring about what people who don't eat at your restaurant think. Nobody cares about health nuts concern about super size fries, or 1500 calorie sandwiches.

Bad press? More like free advertising to your restaurant. Everyone would hear that you bought something back, causing a little stir, and business increases.

Consider bringing some of their international specialties to America on a rotating basis. This would both appeal to the "core" McDonalds consumers who want to experience things that they currently can't have, and cements McDonalds international reputation as a bastion of American culture by having America serve as a sort of "hub" for their unique flavors.

http://www.foodnetwork.co.uk/article/crazy-meals-mcdonalds-menus-around-world/

How about a veggie burger? Hear me out. In a lot of rural places and small towns, there are no vegetarian restaurants. McDonalds, however, is ubiquitous. You don't have to worry about having a good veggie burger, because in a lot of places McDonalds would have the ONLY vegetarian option. You can store veggie burgers in a freezer basically forever, so it doesn't matter how many they sell per day. Bonus points for spinning some dumb ethics or environmentalism slant to an advertising campaign for it.

1. Reduce the menu and remove the salads.

2. Replace the dipping sauces with higher quality ones. Lots of places have sauces that are so good people want to eat there just for the sauce. I can't say McDonalds is one of those places. Their honey garlic sauce, for instance, tastes totally wrong and disgusting.

3. Bring back lard for deep frying. There's a big keto/atkins fad right now and people are dumb enough to think pig fat is more "wholesome" than vegetable oil. It's more expensive but they can make up for it by scaling down the menu, as previously suggested.

4. Bring back ice cream.

5. Get rid of the pies or change them. They taste too artificial. They taste like burnt pastry dough with a jam filling right now.

6. Get rid of McCafe. This is another one of those 'jack of all trades' things that McDonalds does in a half assed attempt to compete with everyone around them. While I've had their coffee and it isn't bad, when I want coffee, McDonalds is the last place I think of. People don't go to McDonalds for coffee. Focus on your market and your immediate competitors.

I know NYC as a whole is only ~8 million, but that was a massive annoyance for McDonalds and the salad shit actually made it calm down. Taking a single item out results in the fucking news being called:

Why am I a childish asshole for asking them to not put specific ingredients on a fast food burger if I don't like them? I think it's perfectly reasonable to remove ingredients for the price you pay for fast food.

Besides generally McDonald's and other fast food places are very accommodating when it comes to special requests. Their computers have the options to add individual ingredients at a predetermined price. If you ask at the drive-thru for a McGriddle with a chicken patty instead of sausage or bacon they will give it to you. It'll cost $2 extra but it's fucking awesome because it tastes like chicken and waffles.

And it doesn't make their work any harder than it already is. They're still making the food to order, if you ask it without a specific ingredient they just don't put it on, and if you ask it with something they make it up like they would any other order and it doesn't make anything more difficult because it's an assembly line that all the ingredients are there waiting to be picked and chosen and used and everything is in the store being cooked stored and reheated ready for use when needed
>>
>>8169423
They will never get rid of all day breakfast. They started it because research and development told them it would make more money, they tested it and it did make more money, and they extended it because people who were eating it wanted more items and it's still making them a shitload more money. Because there are a lot of people who only go to McDonald's for breakfast items and by expanding the window to order it from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. to 24 hours a day they have made it vastly more accessible to the General Public.

Whether or not you like their breakfast is irrelevant. It makes them a shitload of money
>>
>>8169460
I thought some places already open late? They usually leave drive thru open and close the restaurant though. Upscaling works in places like China where the brand has a fresh start and branding (and of course, where the currency is weaker against the U.S. dollar). The West is all too familiar with McD's presence as a cheap, fast-food chain.

I wonder how well savory pies and unusual pie-fillings will bode in the U.S. I'm pretty impressed with the kinds of pies sold in international franchises, even if it's just the idea of them. Maybe I'm just mentioning pies because I miss those fuckers and haven't seen them at a McD's in years.

No matter what McDonalds come up with it will be unhealthy and probably expensive to boot.

I had a long conversation with a coworker about McDonalds today and the reason I love it is why you don't need this thread.

The best thing about McDonalds is it's purity. It's like the most distilled fast food experience you can have. Replicated at every franchise location down to an exact science. The every so often special burger is to drag in a non customer for a one shot deal. But real customers like me enjoy the familiarity and the simplicity.

Basically all the shit in this thread is the same gimmicky shit BK is doing to try and stay alive, or like Jack in the Box throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.

McDonalds doesn't need new items. If anything it needs less.

If you want something neat though, do I would tour and offer an item from different countries. Use the same packing and everything shipped from said countries. Shrimp burger from Japan, spicy chicken ones from India and so on.

But mostly just leave McDonalds alone. Spend that money on putting better happy meal toys in the box and making an extendable arm for contactless payment at the drive through.

Like the other day I wanted to go to In N Out. The retarded location made it a bitch to get into, the line was crazy long. All this for "Animal Style" fries.

I gave up and went to the McDonalds drive through. Done in a few minutes, paid with my phone, got 2 McDoubles and a small fries. Fries tasted great as they always do, McDoubles were cheap and satisfying. I was happy with the speed, the taste, and didn't feel ripped off like every other fast food place.

McDonalds is already 10/10.

You know what I would really love actually.

Put franchises in nice areas and try to promote the 50s idea of a family sitting down for a meal together in there. Not like the screaming kids and force feeding the baby fries deal you usually see.

Stop the retarded salads and McCafe effort. You arent going to be Starbucks so give up. Americans are poor and working all the time. McDonalds has been with us for decades, and it should be with us through this arguably shitty time. Despite the low wages, the shitty state of politics, police violence and all that, McDonalds will let you and your family eat comfortably.

Actually I'll say something no one at McDonalds can really do but should. McDonalds can provide a solid career choice in this economy. It gives you the same chance and anyone else to become a manager and beyond. So stop letting these fat lazy retarded kids work there. Send them to BK. McDonalds should be where future leaders and shit are having their first job experience. Being polite and me being polite back and them not fucking up my order.

The illusion is shattered when Shan'i'qwah comes waddling out to muffle some incomprehensible garbage to me and proceed to fuck up my order.

The McDonalds in Bellevue Square, Washington has the nicest guy working there. Some Filipino guy with a limp and a dorky haircut. But he's upbeat and smiles, and never misses a thing. Thats the kind of guy that should be there.

The deluxe McChicken idea already exists in multiple formats. The best of which is the crispy chicken club.

Master list of all the good ideas ITT

>International menu items brought in on rotation.
In the first year or two of this it will bring in loads of people month after month who want to try all the new and different items. Afterwards, it will bring in people who are looking out for that specific international item that they loved so much.

>New "select" side options.
Curly fries already have their market in Hardee's and Arby's, but deep fried pickles are HUGE right now and are relatively cheap to produce. Potato wedges, sweet potato fries or tots, onion rings, jalapeno poppers, cheese curds, or corn fritters would all probably sell relatively well and you could replace your fries with a select side for an upcharge.

>Nacho cheese.
I don't know how this isn't already a thing. It's insanely cheap and people would go fucking nuts for a dish of bacon cheese fries from McDongle's. Even better if you brought back the pickled jalapenos for the jalapeno burger and put them on the fries as well. You could also put the cheese on burgers and breakfast sandwiches.

>Cheese options.
Speaking of cheese, a selection of different cheese would be good. Even one other kind of cheese, like swiss or provolone, would up their possible combinations by a lot and a lot of people don't like yellow Americunt cheese.

>Buffalo chicken sandwich.
Buffalo chicken selects was mentioned, but I think a buffalo fried chicken sandwich would sell even better. The chicken selects were a touchy menu item with McD's and were obviously nixed for a reason. They already make the buffalo as a dipping sauce, why not toss a McChicken patty in there and top with lettuce and ranch instead of mayo?

>Munchies boxes.
Make them available from, say, 9pm-3am or something relatively short like that. Include a myriad of items like, say, choice of 2 McDoubles or 2 McChickens, 20 nuggets, 2 breakfast burritos, choice of 2 medium fries or 4 hashbrowns, 2 drinks. Sell for $14.99.
>>
>>8182499
>Veggie burger.
I think the only fast food chain that offers a veggie burger is Burger King, and all their food tastes like how dog food smells. Bringing in a soy and black bean patty would be cheap and usurp a fair amount of the young vegetarian crowd which is probably sick of bean buriitos by now.

>Ham.
Only Arby's serves ham anything but a ham and cheese from McDonald's would sell well especially for kids. When my brother was a kid the ham and cheese from Arby's was the only fast food he would eat.

>The breakfast burger.
This literally requires no extra ingredients. Burger, hash brown, egg, bacon, maybe mac sauce. You could even put the ham from the previous point on it. I worked at a sit-down restaurant that sold a burger like this and it was the #1 burger we sold.

>Pulled pork or beef in a barbecue sauce.
Pork burgers was mentioned and that's when I thought of this. I can't think of any fast food place where I can get a pulled pork or barbecue beef sandwich. Top with cheese and pickles/onions and you have a great sandwich.

>Sandwich "melts."
All you'd really need to bring in for this is thick toast, which could come in handy for other items. A big mac melt (burger, pickle, onion, mac sauce, cheese between toast) and a chicken melt (grilled chicken, bacon, cheese, tomato, mac sauce) would be fantastic items to add to the menu. This could also factor into

>McBLT.
You already have the items for this, and it would be made better with the texas toast. I can't think of any fast food place that sells a BLT.

>Macaroni and cheese.
It would come frozen and preportioned in little plastic dishes that don't melt during the "cooking" process, like microwave dinner trays. It would be a great kid's meal or a "select" side dish.
>>
There's only one fish item on the menu. Exploit that. You have the perception of healthfulness and a blank slate with nothing for it to be compared to. Take the filet of fish and think about what typically works with breaded fish and how it can be combined with existing menu items for convenience.

Seasoned batter on a full size fish fillet which can go in one of the many bun styles. Put the word capers in there somewhere. Or do something with turkey and a cranberry sauce. A sandwich could be a seasonal item, or so could be some turkey nuggers with a special holiday themed dip. Might be safer going with a seasonal suggestion, there's no way they would consider a full time item unless it was a home run.

Ultimately they're not going to listen to you at all, they have lots of people paid very well to do all this already. You'll speak to a room of receptionists and assistants.

Just assisting in the ideas not knocking them down.

Breakfast burger is by far the best idea in my opinion. It needs nothings and would sell well most likely.

Pulled pork sandwich is done at white castle but since white castles aren't everywhere and not nearly as popular it would probably do okay. Still don't think I see the mass market in it though. White castle sells more bolagna breakfast sandwiches then pulled pork sandwichs.

Texas toast is a great and all but I think its spreading too thin. You don't wanna be a place like Sonic that has a massive menu and most of it never purchased.

Munchies box is essentially their family meal they already have.

Veggie burger won't draw in the vegetarian crowd. Its well known that most veggie burgers are garbage and that clientele is most likely not going to go to McD anyhow.

They already have other cheese then yellow American you just have to ask for it.

International menu sound fucking amazing but it won't be feasible. The product used to produce those sandwiches are generally sourced there or a nearby country. So doing some of the international food will be far too expensive.

More sides is risky because you gotta keep in mind you have to store this food under heat lamps and shit unless you plan to have each McD buy need equipment for a single product. Dont get me wrong I know that this happens at a lot of fast food places but McD tend to be more space constrained then most places.

But that's literally what Wendy's does and it works. You user the same type of meat which means they don't have to stock another item, and it's easier for the employees. It's business efficient and customers like it. And you get chili fries.
