Oil picks up flavors as it cooks, so it is important that chicken products are never cooked in a fryer that is used to cook fish. • Check oil levels. Throughout the day, check the oil levels in the fryers. Top off oil if necessary. See Oil care, page 6 for more information. • Hot holding. It is important to push the UHC/Nuggets holding cabinet timer when new product is prepared and placed into the UHC/Nuggets holding cabinet. This ensures hot, fresh, quality product for our customers. Always discard product when the UHC/Nuggets timer beeps and displays "00." Never reset timer . • Contain raw breading. Place the basket on the pan with wire rack to catch any raw breading falling from the portions. This keeps the raw breading from coming in contact with cooked product and eliminates the potential for contamination. It also keeps breading, which shortens the life of the oil, out of the oil. 8213118-8 December 2010 Proprietary Information.

  • Chapter 01 1
    Chapter 01 1. Introduction McDonald's is one of the best-known brands worldwide. This case study shows how McDonald's continually aims to build its brand by listening to its customers. It also identifies the various stages in the marketing process. Branding develops a personality for an organization, product or service. The brand image represents how consumers view the organization. Branding only works when an organization behaves and presents itself in a consistent way. Marketing communication methods, such as advertising and promotion, are used to create the colors, designs and images, which give the brand its recognizable face. At McDonald's this is represented by its familiar logo - the Golden Arches. Marketing involves identifying customer needs and requirements, and meeting these needs in a better way than competitors. In this way a company creates loyal customers. The starting point is to find out who potential customers are - not everyone will want what McDonald's has to offer. The people McDonald's identifies as likely customers are known as key audiences. McDonald’s has come up with advertising campaigns to help combat the dropping sales such as its New Taste Menu, and this was geared toward the healthier consumer. The message was that the company was tasty and nutritious, friendly folks and fun could be found at McDonald’s. 1.1 Problem Statement McDonald’s has been forced to contend with a number of potential obstacles to growth in recent years, most notably stark criticism and a less-than-favorable global economic climate that has seen consumers reduce their discretionary spending.

  • An Introduction to Mcdonaldization
    Ritzer-ch01.qxd 1/22/02 11:05 AM Page 7 1 An Introduction to McDonaldization George Ritzer cDonald’s is the basis of one of the most influential developments in Mcontemporary society. Its reverberations extend far beyond its point of origin in the United States and in the fast-food business. It has influenced a wide range of undertakings, indeed the way of life, of a significant portion of the world. And that impact is likely to expand at an accelerating rate. However, this is not . about McDonald’s, or even about the fast-food business. Rather, McDonald’s serves here as the major example, the paradigm, of a wide-ranging process I call McDonaldization—that is, the process by which the principles of the fast-food restaurant are coming to dominate more and more sectors of American society as well as of the rest of the world. As you will see, McDonaldization affects not only the restaurant business but also . virtually every other aspect of society. McDonaldization has shown every sign of being an inexorable process, sweeping through seem- ingly impervious institutions and regions of the world. Editor’s Note: Excerpts from “An Introduction to McDonaldization,” pp. 1–19 in The McDonaldization of Society, 3rd ed., by George Ritzer. Copyright © 2000, Pine Forge Press, Thousand Oaks, CA.

  • History of Hamburgers Michael Dickens
    History of Hamburgers The hamburger is known today as one of the staples of American cuisine but, it has a long history outside the United States. The dish traveled far and evolved over time to become what we know today as the hamburger. 1200: A Meal for Soldiers The Hamburger’s journey starts in Mongolia where Mongol warriors, being constantly on the move, would stuff scraps of meat M o n g o l i a underneath their horse saddles. The meat would be tenderized by the friction between the horse and the saddle. 1238 w co os M Mongolia After the Mogols, under Kublai Khan invaded Moscow, the Russians Moscow adopted this ground meat dish and called it “steak tartare”. Tartare is the name given to the Mongols by the Russians. 1600 It was around this century when minced beef dishes like steak tartare became a delacacy across Europe, with some countries adding their own touch making the beef into sausages. Moscow Hamburg Through maritime trade, steak tartare g r u made its way to the ports of Hamburg, b m Germany and was renamed “Tartare a H Steak” 1700: America Bound In the 18th century when steak tartare made its way to America One of the largest ports in all of Europe was in Hamburg, so it made sense for American settlers to trade resources. Sailors from New York brought tartare steak back, and gave it a new name: “Hamburg steak”. German immigrants also brought along a version of Hamburg steak. This version had shreds of low grade g New York r beef flavored with spices.

  • French Food Vs. Fast Food: José Bové Takes on Mcdonald’S
    FRENCH FOOD VS. FAST FOOD: JOSÉ BOVÉ TAKES ON MCDONALD’S A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Rixa Ann Spencer Freeze June 2002 This thesis entitled FRENCH FOOD VS. FAST FOOD: JOSÉ BOVÉ TAKES ON MCDONALD’S BY RIXA ANN SPENCER FREEZE has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Sciences FREEZE, RIXA ANN SPENCER. M.A. June 2002. History. French Food vs. Fast Food: José Bové Takes on McDonald’s (184 pp.) Director of Thesis: Chester J. Pach This thesis explores the French farmer and activist José Bové and his widely publicized protest against McDonald’s France in August 1999. With the help of 300 demonstrators, he dismantled a partially constructed McDonald’s restaurant and caused an international stir. Many factors influenced Bové’s protest: his background in radical agricultural activism, a historical overview of French-American cultural relations, and tensions over globalization in France. José Bové’s protest has undergone many interpretations, some that favor his cause and some that do not. Even after his trial a year later, several issues remained unresolved—how much damage the protest caused and whether the action against McDonald’s was a legitimate (if illegal) form of protest. McDonald’s France has responded to Bové’s criticisms by changing its image, décor, and menu offerings. José Bové is a complex character; though his tactics are extreme at times, he has successfully raised awareness about issues that contemporary French society faces.

  • Mcdonald's Corporation
    MH0037 1259420477 REV: SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 FRANK T. ROTHAERMEL MARNE L. ARTHAUD-DAY McDonald’s Corporation SEPTEMBER 1, 2015. Steve Easterbrook walked into his office in McDonald’s corporate headquar- ters. He had finally achieved his dream of becoming chief financial officer (CEO) at a major Fortune 500 company, but somehow he had expected it to feel better than this. Don Thompson, the former CEO who had recently “retired” had not been just his boss, but his friend. They had both started their careers at McDonald’s early in the 1990s and had climbed the corporate ladder together. He had not taken personal joy in seeing either his friend or his company fail. Rather, Easterbrook had fantasized about inheriting the company at its peak and taking it to new heights—not finding the corporate giant on its knees in desperate need of a way to get back up. The company’s troubles had snowballed quickly. In 2011, McDonald’s had outperformed nearly all of its competitors while riding the recovery from a deep economic recession. In fact, McDonald’s was the number-one performing stock in the Dow 30 with a 34.7 percent total shareholder return.1 But in 2012, McDonald’s dropped to number 30 in the Dow 30 with a –10.75 percent return. The company went from first to last in 12 brief months (see Exhibits 1 and 2). In October 2012, McDonald’s sales growth dropped by 1.8 percent, the first monthly decline since 2003.2 Annual system-wide sales growth in 2012 barely met the minimum 3 percent goal, while operating income growth was just 1 percent (compared to a goal of 6 to 7 percent).3 Sales continued to decline over the next two years.
