I can go to Chilis and get a REAL cheeseburger, fries, and a drink, for $10.99. If I’m in their free club, I get a free chips & salsa on every visit, too. If I leave a $2 tip (18%), it’s only $12.99, which is about same as a standard burger/fries/drink combo at McDonald’s.
Also, McDonald’s burgers are among the worst in the business, with nearly every other burger place beating them easily. We now have Culvers entering our market, and their burgers and fries blow away everyone else. They have really wide menu, and are actually cheaper than everyone else.
McD is also losing out go the quickly rising chicken tender trend, where their nuggests also compare poorly.
Their best thing is breakfast, where they are still the leader, but they are getting expensive there, too.
They’ve opend up a couple of new outlets near me, and they are obviously getting ready to go robotic. The dining areas are empty, with no drink stations, condiments, or even dispensers for straws or napkins. There is a wall that blocks the view of the kitchen area, so you can’t see who, or how many people are back there. It could be completely automated right now, and you’d never know it.
