Introduction
I work for McDonald’s as a second assistant manager. McDonald’s is the world’s largest fast food restaurant chain serving exceptional numbers of customers each day around the world and 3.5 million in the UK. In 1974 McDonald’s opened its first ever restaurant in the UK at Woolwich London and since it established around 1250 new restaurants all over the country. Over these 41 years McDonalds developed a high profile brand image and kept its unique position in the highly competitive market. In order to achieve this, the company introduced few aspects like customer friendly policy, advanced operational system, modern infrastructure. The company operates and franchises McDonald’s restaurants which 2/3 of them are owned and operated by independent franchisees.
