Fast food industry profile Up to 1995 there was not much progress in fast food industry. Nirulas was the only fast food chain existing in the country with its restaurants expanding with every passing year since its inception.  However the year 1995-96 witnessed a drastic change. 1996 is considered to be the year of India’s entry into the world food market. International giants such as McDonalds, KFC, TGIF, Dominos, and Pizza Hut all bombarded the Indian food market.
However in earlier 1990 UK-based joint called Wimpy’s had established its chain in the country in 1990 but Wimpy was looked at more of a hangout place rather than eating out with the family. Its been the American international giants i.e., McDonalds, Pizza Hut etc., who have targeted their restaurants to the families.  Almost all the fast food chains both Indian i.e., Nirulas and foreign i.e., McDonalds etc., are targeting the families.  Each of these restaurants delivers quality, value and services in its own way through its line of strategies.

The level of awareness of new Products among the regular customers is  on a 50-50 situation Awareness of the new products introduced in Mc Donald’s is mostly through  visit to Mc Donald’s outlets and by seeing the posters pasted on the walls of outlets.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strength   Mc Donald’s serves its customers with high quality products. There are extensive quality tests at the supplier and all products are examined again in the restaurant to ensure that they are of highest quality possible. Mc Donald’s provides fast, friendly service. Any customer visiting Mc Donald’s is usually served within 60 seconds. Mc Donald’s menu is priced in such a way that the largest segment of Indian consumers can afford. It has a wide variety of products at different prices to be affordable to as many as possible. Mc Donald’s is an active participant in community services
Weakness   Mc Donald’s has limited range of items in its menu. However, to get a item included in the menu approval has to be made from the high tech kitchens at Mc Donald’s headquarters in suburban Chicago. In India burgers are a long way from becoming the common man’s food, having fast food is considered to be another option for dining out, unlike other countries.
Opportunity  McDonald is developing two regional training colleges in India, one each in Delhi and Mumbai. This can save the expense of the organization is sending its management team and crewmembers to outside countries like Indonesia and America. McDonald expects to expand its chain in the coming years. It plans to open about 50 restaurants by the year 2000. This can have the opportunity to serve and employ more people.
Threats Mc Donald’s faces tough competition from other food chains in the country both international i.e. Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wimpy’s and Pizza hut and domestic i.e. Nirulas. The decision taken by Mc Donald’s India to serve ‘Shudh Shakhari” meals at its restaurants can risk the global American image of Mc Donald’s.
Limitations   Since the sample size considered for the study is only 50-60 people specifically who are regular customers of Mc Donald’s, it is quite possible that the result obtained from the study are not 100% accurate, because the sample chosen (randomly), may not be an ideal representative of the target market. The perfection of the questionnaire analysis. Since many analyses is done on the basis of personal interaction with the customers and employees of Mc Donald’s, the responses received may or may not be authentic.
Recommendations  McDonald should come with some less calorie products so that it does not harm the growing children who like eating only junk food. It should come up with more of products, which are nutritious because growing children are the major customers of Mc Donald’s. Mc Donald’s should first advertise and then come up with new products in the outlets to create maximum recall in the mind of potential customer. It should come up with some spicy items also to beat the competition from Nirulas and Indian Dhabas.
