Customers were purchasing their “Pure Beef Hamburger” for 15 cents, and “Tempting Cheeseburger” for 20 cents.

Kroc gave McDonald’s to people willing to allot great amount of time and effort in the McDonald’s name. His idea turned out to be affluent as many ideas were created because of this caring franchisees. The Filet-O-Fish (originally intended for Catholics during lent), Big Mac (in celebration to its fifth billion burger sold), Egg McMuffin (wanted to cater to breakfast lovers) ,Quarter Pounder, and McFlurry were all introduced by franchisees and all reaped prosperous benefits. In 1956 Kroc hired Harry Sonneborn, a former vice president of finances at ‘Tastee Freeze”.

In addition, consumers increasingly favored foods clean and healthy. Foreseeing this need, numerous popular fast food restaurants sprung up promptly. The first Chipotle restaurant is opened in 1993 by Steve Ells in Colorado.

Since the opening of Chick-Fil-A, they have received over 2 billion dollars in sales. The company’s great recipe for success is due to the marketing strategy of product, price, place, and promotion.

For the company, product itself is the fact that the food is made fresh every day, only making just enough inventory to sell. They found that customers reward great product. Since Chick-Fil-A makes their product, using the very best resources they can, the customers are willing to pay full

Questions 1: How would you describe McDonald 's business strategy? What are the foundations of its competitive advantage?

Even though McDonald’s and Burger King are really similar, they are also really different. They both try to have good advertising but McDonald’s is, most of the time, ahead. Their food seems to have the same condiments, but again, they are far away to be the same. They appear as the two most famous fast food restaurants around the world, but each one of them has their own

1. What is Panera Bread’s strategy? Which of the five generic competitive strategies discussed in Chapter 5 most closely fit the competitive approach that Panera Bread is taking? What type of competitive advantage is Panera Bread trying to achieve?

Jollibee was founded by Tony Tan Caktiong who was born and raised in Fujian, one of China’s poorest provinces. His family migrated to the Philippines to look for better opportunities and began cooking in a Chinese temple.  Because he spent so much time on the kitchen with his parents, he developed incredibly sensitive taste buds and learned his entrepreneurial mindset.  In 1975, when Tony was only 22, he used his family’s life savings to open two Ice Cream Parlors in Cubao, Quezon City.  The stores were very popular due to their fantastic customer service and generous scoops of delicious ice cream.  Tony wanted to expand his business and hired a management consultant Manuel Lumba who discovered people craved

Panera Bread is considered to be one of the U.S. most successful fast-casual restaurants. The company is one of the revolution makers in the industry of fast food, which managed to transform the traditional image and perception of to-go products that are available at an acceptable price on the market. As its initial founding company was established in 1981, Panera Bread managed to gain up to 4.5 billion USD in sales by the year of 2015, whereas the average sales per one store made up to 2.5 million USD annually (Thompson). Nevertheless, the company that once managed to upgrade bread and pastry into a trend of fast and healthy eating, today is struggling with massive competition on the fast food market. Its previous strategic strengths now became a burden that stops innovation and creativity and does not

Since McDonald’s is the most well know fast food chain in the world with a market cap of 69.35 billion, brand recognition is their biggest strength. The secret of McDonald’s success is its willingness to innovate and maintain consistency in the operation of its many outlets. In recent years McDonald’s has introduced Premium Salads, Snack Wraps, fresh Apple Dippers in the United States, and Corn Cups in China. Also, McDonald 's products are priced so low that economic conditions are almost insignificant.

It all began in the USA in 1954 with a milkshake machine salesman named Ray Kroc. Ray received an order from the McDonald brothers’ hamburger outlet in California. He was fascinated by their operation the menu was simple and inexpensive but the hamburgers were good; the fries were made in-store; and the shakes were thicker than usual. So Ray put a proposition to the McDonald’s Brothers. “Let me open new McDonald’s stores and I’ll give you half of one per cent of the gross sales for the use of the name and the idea.”
