Introduction
McDonald's Corporation is the world's largest chain of FAST
FOOD RESTAURANTS , serving nearly 58
million customers daily. It was started by
two brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San
Bernardino, California in 1940. McDonald's
restaurants are found in more than 119
countries and territories around the world
and serve nearly 47 million customers each
day. McDonald's operates over 31,000
restaurants worldwide, employing more
than 1.5 million people. The company also operates other
restaurant brands, such as Piles Caf, and has a minority stake in
Prt a Manger.

McDonalds MISSION AND VISION: We serve people with good

quality food, fast and at low cost. McDonald's vision is to
dominate the global food-service industry. Global dominance
means setting the performance standard for customer satisfaction
and increases market share and profitability through successfully
implementing our convenience, value and execution strategies.

CUSTOMERS: Customers are those who pay money to acquire an

organization's goods or services. For many years McDonald's
mostly targeted the young people, however this has changed in
this decade; McDonald's has turned towards a more general
market. By doing this McDonald's concentrates on the family,
targeting a diverse market which includes consumers ranging
from children to elderly people, using products such as the happy
Meal for children and Egg Mc Muffin for the elderly. McDonald's
also realized the changing world we live in and the need for
healthier food, since there is an ever changing demographic
group, who demand fast, top quality food that is low in calories.
McDonald's responded to this opportunity and introduced a new
and innovative product. This new product was a regular
hamburger that tasted like the real thing but was made of plant
material like Soya beans. This same product also targets another
demographic group, vegetarians. McDonald's mostly uses
psychographic segmentation targeting the working and middle
classes. These are the people that are more susceptible to enter a
fast food restaurant, since these are the people that lead a fast
moving life and thus require a fast meal. In brief McDonald's
customers are of all classes, but largely working and middle
classes, and people of all ages.

Conclusion
Recommendations
Most of the customers are student and working professionals, so
company should pay more attention on this group of the society.
They should also focus on enhancement of enjoyment and
maintain the quality of food they provide. Most of the customers
are looking for quality, price and variety in same restaurant so if
Mc Donalds want to maintain as well as retain its customer then
it should try to maintain all the three things.

It was seen that if the price of the products increases by 25% then
55.75% of the customers will be consistent with mc Donald or
their visit will increase so there no need for them to worry abut
their customers but they should maintain quality. but if we see
that if the price decreases then 84% of the customers show
positive results. So if possible company should look on this factor
also, it should try every possible way through which it can
maintain this 84% of the customers.

Consumers expect that waiter service should be provided because

most of them want to sit and have there food without any
disturbance. As most of the customers want to have full
enjoyment so it would be recommended that music or t.v should
be provided because sometimes customer has to wait long.they
can also provide special facilities for every segment like giving
offers.
