McDonald's is proposing a new strategy to attract more millennial customers and grow its operating profits in the US. The strategy involves shifting from a fast food to a fast casual model by offering customizable menu items and flexible pricing. McDonald's will remodel stores to allow customers to personalize burgers, sandwiches, and sides by choosing ingredients, sauces, and bread/bun types. The changes will be launched in phases across the US over 3 years. McDonald's expects this strategy will increase annual US operating income by $260 million to $4.14 billion by appealing more to millennial values of customization and providing healthier perceived options.

Who are we reaching with promotion if we aren’t reaching millennials?
Isn’t it more confusing to have different menus between drive thru and in-store
Towards but not in?

http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/blog/2014/10/fast-food-vs-fast-casual-d-c-tries-to-sort-out-the.html
this is where we see a HUGE opportunity to find the sales growth we’re looking for!!
Mention average pricing in graph (it was said)
use a table, utilize picutres, show how to take an order from a customer, take them threw the expierence of the ordering process, one spot for customizaiton but still normal resgisters for those who don’t want custoimzation, one cashieer for cusomization one for normal
Cashier #1- The actual cashier who take actual orders , Cashier #2- One who manages for those who choose customization.
Don’t need to differentiate. The customers just choose whatever they want
What about Crispy chicken??
What’s new and What’s already there?

So in terms of the new menu items we will be implementing at Mcdonalds, we will be bringing in the Blue cheese, Wheat Buns, and Lettuce Wraps, as we know these are very popular items within the culture of millennials today.
What about Onions?
Moving forward, while we are only bringing in 3 products that are new to mcdonalds, we are making all of the topping options at mcdonalds available for your customization, whereas if you went to mcdonalds before, certain toppings were used only for certain meals. We feel as though this change will bring in a ton of millenials as they value custimization and innovation so highly.
Why is this slide here?
Big Mac sells about 156,900 per day over USA

in a survey of nearly 27000 people salad qp and YP were the least popular
