do not like fast food mcdonald's garbage burger king the worst whose corner are you
in the feud between the king and ronald mcdonald has been going on for years
like the coyote trying to outsmart the roadrunner things never seem to go as planned for the king
so pick a side if you must and enjoy these 10 reasons why burger king fell behind mcdonald's
tim horton popeye and the king we are family now a major difference in the success of burger king and
mcdonald's relates directly to their individual business plans regarding company acquisitions
while mcdonald's has dabbled in the past with purchasing other smaller fast food chains
it has found its greatest success focusing directly on the mcdonald's brand itself
and has mostly left partnerships with other chains in the past unfortunately burger king's parent
company has taken a drastically different approach to the subject and has recently purchased the
rights to both the tim hortons and popeye's name welcome to my world although in theory this sounds
like a plan for success with each restaurant having their own respective fan bases some
seriously flawed decision making over the past 10 years has left not only burger king neglected
but the other restaurants overly promoted and undervalued luckily the recent popeye's chicken
sandwich has increased the brand's popularity but the parent company needs to put major focus
into all three restaurants if burger king hopes to find success once again my arms are tired
vegetarian meals were a massive failure yep eat it put it in your mouth and just eat it
with the introduction of the impossible whopper in 2018 burger king officially entered the vegetarian
fast food game although many other restaurants were already offering alternative vegetarian
options this new campaign was focused on an international rollout for the new meatless whopper
as opposed to individual franchises opting in or out of offering the vegetarian option depending on
location unfortunately for many vegetarian burger king fans the success of the impossible whopper
has been hindered by serious issues not considered by corporate at the time of the launch the burger
is not only non-vegan but it is also actually cooked on the same grill as the chicken and
beef patties rendering the burgers themselves now questionably vegetarian hey this is all aboveboard
when this news hit the ears of consumers it became another failure that would seriously
cost this company credibility when looking towards establishing trustworthy customer relationships
it's important that companies focus on their ethics while releasing and advertising new
products and make sure they are actually delivering what is promised as opposed to be what
they consider to be good enough customer loyal tea what is it bk breakfast rush needs a boost why
did they eat them for breakfast although they have been selling breakfast since the early 1980s
unfortunately for burger king their biggest competitor mcdonald's is seen as the industry
standard since the introduction of the egg mcmuffin in 1972 it was now time for burger king
to play a serious game of catch-up an unfortunate recurring scene when it comes to mcdonald's and
burger king's troubled relationship although more than likely you have made the choice at
some point or another to grab a croissan witch on the way to work the burger king breakfast
menu is largely considered a current failure only making up approximately 15 of the day-to-day sales
breakfast is not making nearly enough cash for the burger king business look at it this way when
you had breakfast this morning did you pay for it no one of the more debated reasons for their
perceived failure would be the lack of focus on the coffee market as the most common addiction in
the world caffeine itself has the pull necessary to bring customers back time and time again while
mcdonald's were busy creating and expanding its line of mccafe beverages and a coffee brand adored
by many happy customers burger king has gotten lost it's time for bk to focus on a seriously
good coffee brand and some new fresh breakfast menu items that will appeal to the new generation
dk advertising that turned off the public because the next advertisement you see could destroy your
house and eat your family one of the things that fans adore about burger king are their
fun and classic advertisements the king himself has been featured in many commercials in addition
to other ad campaigns that take a jovial dig at their biggest competitor mcdonald's despite
having several successful campaigns over the years some of burger king's recent advertisements have
been incredibly polarizing and many have appeared almost downright offensive must wash us the real
meals an oppositional product to the famous happy meal were supposed to promote a sense of mental
health awareness unfortunately the campaign was seen more as tasteless than informative
multiple other advertisements have been banned or considered scandalous in regards to their
often blatant sexist rude or sometimes racially insensitive campaigns in the past issues like this
were quickly forgotten however as times progress and change it is incredibly important that burger
king use advertisements that appeal to the masses instead of excluding or offending potential
customers you know you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar burger king at home and abroad
oh i love burger king don't you it's extremely important that we recognize that although the
burger king brand is struggling in the united states where it was founded the international
platform has greatly expanded in fact the international branding may be so successful
that it may be one of the obstacles to greater success in the western market with an abundance
of focus being placed towards these new locations on a global scale the outdated restaurants of
america are growing less and less appealing to the changing domestic market oh a customer oh
no never mind continued focus on expansion meant that the locations that built the brand were being
left to fend for themselves without any attention and care besides that of the struggling franchise
owners themselves although this expansion has been phenomenal for the burger king brand in general it
has left a bad taste in the mouths of its american fan base one of the most crucial on the planet bad
reviews can quickly turn into bad business on a global scale and burger king needs to focus
on the home base once again in order to establish themselves as a familiar favorite who needs a king
bk's focus on imitation we are going to swallow our pride one of burger king's biggest mistakes
of the last 30 years was a failed campaign which featured their own versions of some of mcdonald's
biggest menu items the idea was that if they offered all of the same types of burgers there
would be no need to ever visit the competitor although arguably burger king has long been
imitating mcdonald's these new menu editions were blatant knock-offs of some of the most
iconic mcdonald's items the big king was rolled out as an almost identical replica of the big mac
the big fish was launched to compete against the filleto fish sandwich and double versions of the
sandwiches were also available looks like i got a little brother met with relative success burger
king has continued to focus on imitation with products like a version of the quarter pounder
and seasonal mcrib sandwich although it may be able to snag a few customers burger king
needs to focus on revamping their original menu with fresh items and focus on their own
classic staple menu items there are lots of burger fans out there waiting for their next
jaw-dropping sandwich and plenty of room for everyone at the party you're always
so miserable here try this get that garbage out of my face the burger king appeal how do i look
as most retailers are aware the most important demographic for sales is the age group between
18 to 30. if the young people deem that something is cool then odds are it will succeed
unfortunately for burger king it seems the last time they were able to appeal to young adults was
during its golden early years in the 80s and early 90s since the days of neon fashion and then grunge
when the king had a say at the fast food table burger king has struggled to revamp and once again
find themselves on the outside looking in on those who have turned from fatty burgers to fresh
avocado toast missing out on some major cues over the last 20 years burger king has outdated itself
by refusing to continuously update and act as a progressive front runner in the fast food race
in the modern day where there are more competitive fast food restaurants than ever before on earth
burger king needs to continuously push in a forward direction so that they are able
to appeal to the younger demographic while also inspiring nostalgia for long time burger king fans
once things like the promotional menu items the franchise locations and the advertising structure
have been updated the restaurant will no longer be standing in the shadows of the golden arches
the bk restaurant of the future i come from yet another distant future as many may remember the
2010 saw a lot of different fast food chains such as wendy's taco bell and mcdonald's focusing on
cleaning up their restaurant's image both in physical locations and in terms of persona
burger king absolutely missed the memo in terms of cleaning up their restaurant image which has
left the brand seeming stale outdated and greasy in terms of both their restaurant locations and
the menu items themselves the good news is that burger king is slowly working towards cleaning
up their menus after launching the restaurant of the future initiative that would mean updating the
restaurants with touch screen ordering systems new design concepts new menu display boards and
many other fun and exciting restaurant additions more in tune with 2020 rather than 1990. welcome
back these renovations plan to focus heavily on updates needed due to the recent pandemic
additional safety precautions a focus on park and order spots pickup windows and more are in the
plans although they may have struggled in the past burger king has picked the absolute perfect time
to renovate as it has never been more necessary than it is today it will be exciting to watch as
these new restaurants are unveiled internationally it's amazing that decades after their closure
drive-in restaurants appear to be the way of the future once again hold on drive through focus on
the classics what goes around comes around although the whopper is easily one of the
most recognizable fast food menu items anywhere on the globe the burger king menu is not quite
as memorable as their largest competitor the big m while mcdonald's has gone back to their basics
and have heavily promoted classic menu items like their big mac quarter pounder filleto
fish and iconic french fries burger king has taken a very different approach mcdonald's
works hard developing long-term customers who will continually return for their favorite menu
items but burger king has placed their efforts towards new and exciting promotional items that
bring in massive numbers within the first few weeks of release but often fizzle out quickly
after the product's novelty has worn off what are those fireworks for mother despite having been
in business for nearly 70 years burger king's continued focus on promotional products has meant
that the bk menu has remained largely without a true identity it's sometimes difficult to order at
burger king because you never know the staple menu items that are available unlike with mcdonald's
fast food needs to be easy and with a menu that is constantly changing it is very difficult to
develop a fan base that craves the burger king classics once that love of the original menu
has been restored the king shall conquer all my crown is a symbol of my king like authority
mcdonald's and stills franchise confidence they don't care if you make money as long as they make
money what kind of corporation does that one of burger king's major barriers to achieving success
is instilling confidence within the franchise owners the standardization and household name of
mcdonald's makes franchise owners feel incredibly comfortable in trusting the corporate decisions
being made at the head office while burger king's history is fraught with schemes that have panned
out poorly there have been few major missteps in mcdonald's history somehow the brand always seems
to be one step ahead of the curve leaving burger king to play catch-up this becomes increasingly
evident in terms of restaurant renovations and major menu changes i love burger king bathrooms
franchise owners who are only dealing with relative success are unlikely to feel comfortable
putting up money in order to complete any proposed changes planned by corporate once the restaurant
starts seeing the results as promised it will be much easier for the company to continue
acting progressively which will enable them to become the game changers instead of simple
players following the rules that have been set for them feel regal and royally tap on one of
