INTRODUCTORY ‘ELEVATOR SPEECH’; SHORT PARAGRAPH DESCRIBING THE OVERALL
STATE OF AFFAIRS WITH THE CURRENT MCDONALD’S /BUSINESS AND THEIR APPROACH TO
SUSTAINABILITY AND XRECYCLABILITY.


80% of packaging comes from renewable sources, by 2025 100% will be
“The guest packaging recycling process in our restaurants varies
from market to market. For example, in some markets, our crew collect
and separate recyclable packaging, while in others, the process is
completely off-site, sending customer waste to waste-sorting facilities.
In the U.K., well-established waste separation systems in stores
enable us to capture our paper cups – items made with high-value
material – and recycle them in partnership with a local, specialized
cup-recycling facility.” (corporate.mcdonalds.com)

The 10 Bestselling McDonald’s Menu Items—Ever

What Is the Best-Selling Item on the McDonald’s Menu?


WHO IS CURRENTLY BUYING THE THEIR PRODUCTS OR USING THEIR SERVICES?
Most of McDonald’s audience is lower middle income families in both urban and rural area. They
are loyal customers, visiting a McDonald’s restaurant an average of 44 times a year. The target
market of McDonald’s includes employees, professionals, as well as students, who are drawn by the
value conscious meal options and free Wifi provided in McDonald’s restaurants.

The McDonald’s target audience is mainly lower to middle class consumers, who are interested in fast,
cheap and convenient food. The typical McDonald’s customers are characterized as ‘easygoing’ and
‘careless’, yet at the same time, they are loyal to the brand and eat fast food regularly.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
4. TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT:

IS THEIR WEBSITE UPTODATE? SITE IS EASY TO SHOP? INTERRACTIVE AND ENGAGING?
(Zac)
The McDonald’s website is up to date and is very comprehensive when it comes to whatever you are
looking for. There are articles about the company, the menu of all their items, career information,
special offers, info about the McDonald’s rewards application and information on all their current
locations.

WEBSITE MOBILE FRIENDLY? (Zac)
Yes, 5 years ago they launched a mobile app to help with their sales. Around 20% of McDonald’s global
revenue now comes from digital sales.



HOW IS THE ORDERING PROCESS? LIVE CHAT? CUSTOMER SERVICE? Jordan
HOW DO YOU PAY? CONFIRMATION STATUS? Jordan
CAN YOU TRACK YOUR ORDERS? Daniel

Track orders through the Mcdonalds app and on the screen at the restaurant it
states who they are serving. If you use delivery services like Uber Eats, Grubhub, and
such they also give you updates through the app.

COMPARED TO AMAZON, HOW IS THEIR OVERALL ‘START TO FINISH’
PROCESS? HASSAN

Amazon’s start-to-finish process includes packaging goods from suppliers and
sellers to customers, leading to considerable waste in materials used to package the
various products. Mcdonald’s has many customers, especially considering they serve
them multiple items, including drinks and food. Their start-to-finish does include
more materials per customer served and thus is less efficient in producing packaging
waste.
5. LIVABILITY: HASSAN

DO THEY PROMOTE RECYCLING?
The company promotes recycling by insisting on packaging items made with recyclable materials
(Langert, 2019).They also purchase the same supplies from manufacturers that use recycled materials,
and that helps promote the activity.

SUSTAINABIITY?
Currently, McDonald’s packaging is not sustainable. The company’s global operations consume
considerably more packaging materials than they recycle. More resources are needed to make the
operations sustainable by increasing the quantity of materials recycled from packaging.

ENDORSING/PARTNERSHIPS WITH CHARITIES, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS?
PHASE 2: REFRAME (R)
PURPOSE OF REFRAME PHASE: Analyze the information from the CONDITIONS phase, and identify
a big, disruptive, unique idea which is currently not being recognized. This idea will be big enough to generate
big profits, and turn the business around, reposition the McDonald’s brand and sustain it for the next 5-10
years.
Using service packaging to create McDonald’s Beer and Soda Container Holders partners with Beer
companies.
1. CREATE A REFRAME STATEMENT: Use the format below:
‘We used to think ‘X’, now we believe
‘Y’
2. VALUE PROPOSITION STATEMENT: Use the format below
‘Now that we believe ‘Y’, we will be delivering ‘Z’
value through NEW PRODUCT, SERVICES,
NETWORKS, PARTNERSHIPS, ETC… to the
consumer.

LIST CONSUMER/CUSTOMERS; SAME AS FOUND IN CONDITIONS – OR NEW?

REFRAME and VALUE statements which are wanted by the consumer, makes McDonald’s money, technically
feasible (realistic), is not addressed by competition and does no harm to the environment. Minimum 10 unique
