McDonald's in a 'deep depression' and 'facing its final days'
Another wrote, “The CEO is sowing the seeds of our demise. We are a quick-serve fast-food restaurant, not a fast casual like Five Guys or Chipotle. The system may be facing its final days.”
More than a dozen franchisees expressed frustration with McDonald’s management, saying CEO Steve Easterbrook’s turnaround plan — which includes initiatives like all-day breakfast and a shift to digital ordering kiosks — is a distraction from McDonald’s core issues, like food quality (?? human flesh and g-d knows what else!) and customer service.
“The lack of consistent leadership from Oak Brook is frightening. We continue to jump from one failed initiative to another,” one franchisee wrote.
A second wrote, “I have been in this business since the early 1970s but have not seen us this leaderless in all my time.”
The company’s reaction to their frustration, one franchisee claimed, is for operators to “get out of the system” and quit the business.
Several franchisees complained about all-day breakfast , saying it has complicated kitchen operations and goes against Easterbrook’s repeated promises to simplify the menu.
“The system is very lost at the moment,” one franchisee wrote. “Our menu boards are still bloated, and we are still trying to be too many things to too many people. …Things are broken from the franchisee perspective.”
Franchisees also criticized the “Create Your Taste” program, which allows people to customize their burgers with premium ingredients.
“They are throwing everything they can against the wall to see what will stick,” one franchisee wrote.
Kalinowski interviewed 29 US franchisees covering about 226 restaurants for the survey. McDonald’s has more than 14,000 restaurants in the US.
We reached out to McDonald’s for comment and will update if we hear back.
McDonald’s is trying to revive business following seven straight quarters of same-store sales declines in the US.
In addition to adding all-day breakfast and “Create Your Taste,” McDonald’s has also made some changes to its core menu items.
The company started toasting its hamburger buns longer, made its beef patties slightly larger, and changed how the patties are seared.
McDonald’s has also announced plans to remove antibiotics from its chicken.
There are at least a few franchisees who are on board with the changes.
