food assembly lines and delicious burgers have made them a leader in the industry for decades
now as the restaurant moves into the 2020s and beyond here are some of the 10 surprising ways
mcdonald's is changing the future of fast food forever ding dong mcdonald's is at the
door i have a package for you mcdonald's has partnered with both ubereats and or dash in
order to bring the delicious taste of mickey d's fast food to the comfort of one's home
finally it seems that early morning customers can have their breakfast sandwich and coffee
delivered and the late night partiers can slam down a big mac with fries without ever having to
walk out the front door many may be surprised by the fact that mcdonald's has only recently
begun to offer delivery service as they have been an industry standard setter for decades
until recently before the development of delivery apps families were often stuck deciding between
the classic options of pizza or chinese food delivery by expanding delivery options mcdonald's
has helped to expand the gig economy and increase its potential sales at the same time thankfully
as mcdonald's continues to expand its delivery options globally it seems as though mick delivery
may become the best way to still eat at the golden arches golden is the new black i love gold
one of the most exciting ways in which mcdonald's is changing the future of fast food is by
launching their own brand site the apparel line launched in 2019 just in time for the
holiday season in order to expand the brand and finally fill the decades-long
demands of customers the brand known as golden arches unlimited was born the site features a
variety of different accessories and clothing pieces that are absolutely stunning to the eye
the mix of fashionable trends with classic mcdonald's characters menu items and iconic
logos are full of fantasy and belong in any true mcdonald's fans collection truth be told many
with an eye for fashion may feel that there are a few iconic pieces in this collection that they
absolutely must have in terms of clothes the various pairs of socks bathing suits and shirts
available will bring a colorful and fun flavor to any wardrobe in addition some of the accessories
are absolutely to die for there are adorable bags and totes available and the journals
are the perfect gift for any writer who loves a good mcdonald's meal who would have thought that
mcdonald's would take their game from the drive through to the runway net zero restaurant at the
most magical place on earth yo could you help a brother out man we trying to get to disneyland
one of the most fascinating advancements of mcdonald's technology is currently on
display at walt disney world in florida at disney mcdonald's has recently opened its first carbon
net zero restaurant what this means is that the carbon produced by the restaurant is offset by
the environmental protections it puts in place basically the restaurant is able to essentially
eliminate all the pollution meaning that there is no negative impact on the environment
in order to complete this task mcdonald's has invested in some of the most impressive pieces
of modern technology to date to begin with the restaurant is powered using solar panels
in addition a living green wall helps to consume great amounts of pollution that may be expelled by
the restaurant and the cars in the drive-through the restaurant also has automatic windows that use
temperature sensing technology to close or open according to the current weather it's gonna rain
as of right now the restaurant is only open for takeout and delivery but it is certainly one of
the most beautiful mcdonald's restaurants created to date this restaurant isn't just another on
the list of thousands it is the restaurant of the future touch screens and to go restaurants you got
a happy meal can we get a happy meal well somebody gets into the happy meal in times of crisis and
change as has been witnessed with the pandemic mcdonald's has proven once again that they can
handle nearly any change in the market moving forward with the opening of one of the first to go
only mcdonald's restaurants they are preparing for the socially distanced lifestyle that many
have become accustomed to with the opening of this new restaurant mcdonald's will set a precedent
for other restaurants to offer much faster and less interactive service plants many have used
the order screens available at many mcdonald's locations the to-go restaurant focuses solely
on order screens along with a pick-up window and offers no tables for dine in service almost
zero need to ever meet who's making the burger when times are good there is no doubt mcdonald's
will be one of the first to re-establish themselves as a brand leader once again but in
terms of changing the future mcdonald's is moving forward with serious intentions regarding public
safety and sanitation free fries do i look like i eat french fries free samples and giveaways have
been a tactic of skilled advertisers for decades while most places offer up a simple taste test of
a certain product in the hopes that it will keep you coming back for more mcdonald's keeps bringing
customers back with freebies time after time the free product that they continue to offer up free
of charge is none other than their classic french fries the most addictive product on the menu not
only has the brand been offering free fries friday for some time through their mobile apps coupons it
is not the only way that one can score some of the best free fries on the planet special promotions
often run for holidays and other fun events like national free friday mcdonald's french fries and
kfc gravy the french call this poutine although the fries are a great way to keep customers happy
in terms of promotional value giving away fried potatoes is marginal in cost when compared to
some of the multi-million dollar advertising campaigns that aim to bring you into the store the
benefits of these ad campaigns are that you must enter the establishment in order to experience
the benefits and once you're there chances are you order an extra item or two at full
price a genius way to gain happy customers that keep coming back for more free fries
and everything else on the menu scaled back menus for a pandemic world and then i got rid of it
and now it's gone this is the only place we're gonna be able to try it is in my memory at the
beginning of the pandemic as many stores were forced to close their doors in order to promote
public health and safety mcdonald's was not immune thousands of restaurants across the globe were
forced to either shut down or modify their service style to protect both the phenomenal workers who
press through the pandemic and the millions of customers practicing new fast food dining habits
the company took steps to aid in the speed of drive-through and takeout distribution as
well as removing some of the more risky products from the menu in terms of germ spread the germs
have escaped containment save yourselves some of the more deluxe burgers salads ice cream cones
bagels and other bakery items were among a list of items that were removed from the menu during
the beginning half of 2020. as social distancing measures slowly begin to lift around the world
mcdonald's has chosen to leave some of those items off the menu in order to continue promoting the
speedy service that is required when customers are primarily taking their food to go either through
pickup drive-through or delivery services bagels some salads and many bakery items may be left off
the menu for the foreseeable future do not fear new and exciting options like minute maid slushies
and little donuts are always being added to the menu although the world has begun to slow down
in many ways mcdonald's is proving that nobody can stop this fast food giant google alexa and
mcdonald's alexa was even better than you alexa is an alcoholic home assistance technology has
incorporated some of the most advanced uses of artificial intelligence currently on the market
today mcdonald's has now started to strategically use systems such as google home and alexa which
are already inside millions of homes across the world not only is the brand using technology to
advertise to millions of customers but they are also using it as an incredible source for finding
potential future employees mcdonald's relationship with home assistance began with the ability to ask
what the specials at mcdonald's are by connecting the location services on the home assistance
products the device is then able to tell customers the deals available at their individual local
mcdonald's immediately and a discussion can then be had regarding ordering absolutely brilliant
even more incredible than the use of advertising strategies has been the apply through program all
a user needs to say is talk to mcdonald's or tell mcdonald's apply through i want a job and
their home assistance program will begin to ask them basic interview questions what would you say
you do here online applications have been taking over the job industry for the last decade however
this technology is far more advanced it will be fascinating to see how this partnership continues
to grow mccafe sustainable coffee journey this drink i like it i know it's great right the
mcdonald's sustainable coffee journey has been an ongoing project for the company since 2014.
as climate change continues mcdonald's has made a vow to sustainably source its coffee in order
to help protect the workers and the environment together although companies often make promises
of lofty goals that are swept under the rug it is very exciting that mcdonald's has worked very hard
to achieve this goal and originally set 2020 as an achievement date although the company is not
quite at 100 of their goal according to their most recent update they are at a rate of 54
globally and 84 in the united states in achieving their target not the best but still pretty good
although this is far from perfection it is goals like this that promote other companies
to strive for better treatment for people and the planet the company has also released goals
to ensure that the dairy products used in the mccafe beverages are also sustainably sourced
the coffee bean is small but it holds a great deal of power it is able to wake people up and
give them the energy to get through their day it is only fair that the same energy is put back into
taking care of the coffee itself and the laborers involved announcing goals for a sustainable future
whatever man i don't care about anything you don't care about the environment one of the aspects of
mcdonald's that makes it such a forward-looking fast food restaurant is their recent commitment
to asserting themselves as a more energy efficient company in terms of sustainability it is amazing
when large companies like this begin to take these steps as it encourages competitors to
offer the same type of environmental solutions one of the major ways in which mcdonald's is working
to reduce its environmental impact is a plan to guarantee recycling in all locations within
the next five years and also to ensure that all packaging for menu items stems from renewable or
recyclable resources for ours my friend reduce reuse recycle rihanna this is a major step
when one considers the amount of packaging that can be involved in just one meal this will be
especially important as brands refocus greatly on clean individual packaging to meet the demands of
the future in addition to focusing on revitalizing the packaging the company has also set a goal to
reduce greenhouse emissions by 36 percent by 2030. although this is still 10 years away these steps
are major game changers in terms of changing how the future of fast food is bound to look
more and more restaurants will continue to discuss how their establishments are able to
interact in a friendly way in an environment that they are entirely dependent on new generations
create new demands that restaurants must meet mcdonald's is starting to make serious
changes to accomplish that goal technology and mcdonald's a perfect match we have technology
technology introduced by mcdonald's has always been some of the most progressive and industry
changing of any restaurant across the world ever since that very first fast food service assembly
line they created some of the most impressive uses of artificial intelligence and data collection
technologies are being applied by mcdonald's restaurants in order to provide customers and
employees with a smooth fast enjoyable experience that will leave everyone happy one of mcdonald's
most recent technological advancements is the use of specialty menu boards that use
ai to automatically change the advertised products depending on a number of variables
factors like the heat time of day season overstocked items and specialty products
are all taken into account and displayed on the menu board in order to maximize efficiency
and a customer's purchase mcdonald's has also placed touch screen menu boards into
their restaurants and began offering delivery options at the end of the order process but
before the transaction is complete mcdonald's is able to use those technologies to advertise
additional items that customers may want to add on to the meal this is the new classic way to
expand on the question would you like fries with that this can help increase sales and customer
satisfaction if customers potentially miss a favorite snack chicken nuggets is like my family
finally from the use of these apps the collection of information regarding people's spending habits
and other factors are easily collected in order for mcdonald's to best understand their market
