EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The international market is flooded with various sectors and industries that involve products
of daily as well as occasional use for the consumers. The use of the products can vary from
industrial purpose to private consumption. One such thriving industry in the modern world is
the food and beverage industry. Food and beverage industry combined with the hospitality
sector makes up one of the most attractive target sectors for multi-national corporations. The
concept evolved from the very first diners in the late 18th century, when the world realized
the concept of paid dining experience. Now, the world cannot live without the taste of a Mc
Aloo Tikki or the zing of a Zinger. The bottom line being that the order-to-eat MNCs have
taken over the market like ants on a corpse, gobbling up every ounce of it.
This sector has slowly covered all income groups of consumers and has targeted to achieve a
market share of the highest percentage and the ever increasing competition is resulting in
more profitable options for the consumers. The consumers are being served with a range of
food and beverages to relish on catering every style of taste and preferences. With growing
competition the food giants have take their services to a higher level with better decreased
serving time, value for money prices and changing specialties in their products. The
following report is a comparative analysis of the operational parameters of McDonaldsonald
and Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and projects an overview of various factors that
differentiate the services of the two food giants.
It covers the market share of KFC and MCD. It covers factors like the product variety,
customer reach, pricing strategies, hospitality management, customer relationship
management, supply chain management and employee satisfaction programmers .The
survey was based on the consumers response on their choice between KFC and
McDonaldsonald and the basis of their choice was differentiated into various factors

CHAPTER -I
INTRODUCTION
Overview of Industry as a Whole
The food industry is on a high as Indians continue to have a feast. Fuelled by what can be
termed as a perfect ingredient for any industry - large disposable incomes - the food sector
has been witnessing a marked change in consumption patterns, especially in terms of food.
An increasing number of international fast food chains rushing to India are because all of
them see tremendous potential in for this type of business. The large upwardly mobile
population in the urban areas tend to eat out more often or business or for leisure.

The various players operating in India are the well-established Indian chains like nirula's,
haldiram's and multinational companies like McDonalds, pizza hut, domino's pizza, KFC
etc.
In addition to these, apparently some of the best known international food chains are looking
at India. Among them are great American disaster, the burger king, Mexican food chain taco
grill, move-n-pick, etc. Are some of them to name?
At present all these players are fighting for a small pie, as fast food is really not a big habit
with Indians, but they see a big potential.
The players are fighting on products, pricing, positioning and trying to convert their first
trials into regular purchase by providing delightful service quality. The focus is on product
quality and standardization on taste. Consistency is the key, as its standardization in fast food
as the consumer is short on time and wants to satisfy his taste buds with a consistent taste
experience.
Beyond this each player has its own strategy to expand consumer base.

Some feel that pricing is not the deciding factor since fast food is not Price
sensitive market because it is not a single diet of Indians.

Some others are competing on positioning which is surprisingly varied, giving the
small size of the market.

For most, targeting children seems the right strategy.

Advertising is popular.

However, with competition hooting up most chains are increasing reach as well as working
on establishing a national presence.
The wind of change is blowing through the empire of fast food. The vision of endless growth
through new markets across the planet for fast food companies now looks unsustainable
when its time to adapt or die. As the fast food companies have expanded around the world,
they have had to adapt to local sensitivities.

There were disturbances in India when it was learned that McDonalds were pre-cooked in
beef fat in the usa, because hindus revere cows and cannot eat beef.
According to a market research company, euro monitor international, amount of money
Indians spend in eating out has more than doubled in past decade, to about us$ 5 billion a
year and is expected to double again in about half that time.

Trends in the fast food industry

The industry is estimated to grow at 9-12 per cent, on the basis of an estimated gdp growth
rate of 6-8 per cent, during the tenth five year plan period. Value addition of food is expected
to increase from the current 8 per cent to 35 per cent by the end of 2025. Fruit and vegetable
processing, which is currently around 2 per cent of total production will increase to 10 per
cent by 2010 and to 25 per cent by 2025.
The popularity of food and agro products is not surprising when the sector is now offering a
growth of more than 150 per cent in sales. With such promise in the sector, a number of
foreign companies have joined the fray. While us brands such as McDonalds, pizza hut and
Kentucky fried chicken have become household names, more are on their way.
The importance of food service industry stems from the large direct and indirect employment
it provides, the revenue it generates for the government and the role it plays in promoting
tourism.

The industry provides direct employment to 5 million individuals, five times the it
industry and 10 times the hotel industry.

There are 10 million street vendors in India, of which 6 million sell ready to eat food.

The evolving industry is a significant contributor in terms of tax or vat to the economy.
Currently it contributes $220 million and has the potential to reach $770 million.

According to a report by techno pak analysis, the market size of the food service sector
is estimated to be $8.1 billion by 2013 and $9.6 billion by 2018. It is growing @ 5-6%
per annum.

119

countries

across

35,000

outlets. Headquartered in the United States, the company began in 1940 as a barbecue
estaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald. In 1948, they reorganized their
business as a hamburger stand using production line principles. Businessman ray Kroc joined
the company as a franchise agent in 1955. He subsequently purchased the chain from the
McDonald brothers and oversaw its worldwide growth.
A McDonalds restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the actual corporation
itself. The McDonalds corporation revenues come from the rent, royalties, and fees paid by
the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants. In 2012, the company had
annual revenues of $27.5 billion and profits of $5.5 billion. According to a 2012 BBC report,

million employees, 1.5 million of whom work for franchises.
McDonalds primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken, French fries,
breakfast items, soft drinks, milk shakes and deserts. In response to changing
consumer tasters, the company has expended its Manu to include salads, fish
wraps, smoothies, fruits and seasoned fries.

McDonalds vs. KFC

McDonalds and KFC are everybodys favorite food trip destinations. When you like burgers,
McDonalds is always the top option. When you like fried chicken, KFC is always the first
thing that comes to everyones mind. The reason for this is these companies claim of
particular products that have became their trademark until now. The difference between
McDonalds and KFC is mainly the cuisine.

McDonalds
1940 is the birth year of McDonalds and they have started everything. Their speedier service
system that was introduced in their very first restaurant is being followed until now in
modern day fast food chains. Their very first mascot was a man with a head of a hamburger
that is wearing a chefs hat. It was replaced by McDonalds ever popular clown man.
McDonalds is recorded to currently serving 58million customers each day in 119 countries.
Their restaurants differ from their settings, some offer by-passers with their drive thru
service, some have playgrounds for kids but are just counter service alone. Some of their
restaurants have outer seats as well. McDonalds signature colors are red and yellow. Their
well-supported products are their famous hamburgers, breakfast offers, desserts, chicken
sandwiches and French fries. For vegetarian customers, McDonalds have offerings that are
suitable for them. When it comes to regional branches, McDonalds are known for being fond
of offering these countries food taboos for them to have some sort of relationship with people
around. For example, Portugal McDonalds are the only ones who have soup in the menu.
Another example would be Indonesia for mc rice.
KFC
On the other hand, KFC or Kentucky fried chicken started during the great depression,
which was in the year 1930. It was first named as sanders court and cafe, following the
name of Harland sanders, the original creator from Kentucky. Their current and most popular
logo is the cartooned image of sanders with their acronym, KFC. They are popular for their
trade secret, their secret recipe made from11 herbs and spices that is known to create the
finger lickin well flavor of their chickens.
Their basic products are fried chickens, chicken wraps, sandwiches, salads and some roasted
and grilled chicken cuisines and desserts, too. Be it McDonalds or KFC, youll surely have a
great treat of a meal. Differentiating both will help unrecognized as to what wed really love
to consume. McDonalds main offer is hamburgers while KFC offers various kinds of
chicken dishes.

History of the Organizations

McDonalds
It still exists at most of the restaurants. The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened
by brothers richard and maurice McDonald in san Bernardino, California. Their introduction
of the "speedee service system" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food
restaurant. The original mascot of McDonalds was a man with a chef's hat on top of a
hamburger shaped head whose name was "speedee." speedee was eventually replaced with
ronald McDonald by 1967 when the company first filed a u.s. trademark on a clown shaped
man having puffed out costume legs.
McDonalds first filed for a u.s. trademark on the name McDonalds on may 4, 1961, with the
description "drive-in restaurant services," which continues to be renewed through the end of
December 2009. In the same year, on September 13, 1961, the company filed a logo
trademark on an overlapping, double arched "m" symbol. The overlapping double arched "m"
symbol logo was temporarily disfavored by September 6, 1962, when a trademark was filed
for a single arch, shaped over many of the early McDonalds restaurants in the early years.
The modern double arched "m" symbol that continues to be in use today at McDonalds
restaurants did not appear until November 18, 1968, when the company filed a u.s. trademark
on the now famous symbol that continues to be in use through the end of the year 2009.

KFC
KFC Corporation (KFC), founded and also known as Kentucky fried chicken, is a chain
of fast food restaurants based in Louisville, Kentucky, in the United States. KFC primarily
sells chicken pieces, wraps, salads and sandwiches. While its primary focus is fried chicken,
KFC also offers a line of grilled and roasted chicken products, side dishes and desserts.
Outside North America, KFC offers beef based products such as hamburgers or kebabs, pork
based products such as ribs and other regional fare.
The company was founded as Kentucky fried chicken by colonel Harland sanders in 1952;
though the idea of KFC's fried chicken actually goes back to 1930. The company adopted the

abbreviated form of its name in 1991. Starting in April 2007, the company began using its
original name, Kentucky fried chicken, for its signage, packaging and advertisements in the
u.s. as part of a new corporate re-branding program, newer and remodeled restaurants will
have the new logo and name while older stores will continue to use the 1980s signage. Born
and raised in Henryville, Indiana, sanders passed through several professions in his lifetime.
Sanders first served his fried chicken in 1930 in the midst of the great depression at a gas
station he owned in north Corbin, Kentucky. The dining area was named "sanders court &
caf" and was so successful that in 1936 Kentucky governor ruby laffoon granted sanders the
title of honorary Kentucky colonel in recognition of his contribution to the state's cuisine. The
following year sanders expanded his restaurant to 142 seats, and added a motel he bought
across the street. When sanders prepared his chicken in his original restaurant in north
Corbin, he prepared the chicken in an iron skillet, which took about 30 minutes to do, too
long for a restaurant operation. In 1939, sanders altered the cooking process for his fried
chicken to use a pressure fryer, resulting in a greatly reduced cooking time comparable to
that of deep frying.
The sanders court & caf generally served travelers, often those headed to Florida, so when
the route planned in the 1950s for what would become interstate 75 bypassed Corbin; he sold
his properties and traveled the u.s. to sell his chicken to restaurant owners. The first to take
him up on the offer was pete harman in south salt lake, utah; together, they opened the first
"Kentucky fried chicken" outlet in 1952. By the early 1960s, Kentucky fried chicken was
sold in over 600 franchised outlets in both the United States and canada. One of the longestlived franchisees of the older col. Sanders' chicken concept, as opposed to the KFC chain,
was the kenny kings chain. The company owned many northern ohio diner-style restaurants,
the last of which closed in 2004.
Sanders sold the entire KFC franchising operation in 1964 for $2 million usd, equal to
$14,027,987 today. Since that time, the chain has been sold three more times: to heublein in
1971, to r.j. Reynolds in 1982 and most recently to PepsiCo in 1986, which made it part of its
tricon global restaurants division, which in turn was spun off in 1997, and has now been
renamed to yum! Brands .additionally, colonel sanders' nephew, lee Cummings, took his own

Kentucky fried chicken franchises (and a chicken recipe of his own) and converted them to
his own "spin-off" restaurant chain, lee's famous recipe chicken.
The first McDonalds restaurants opened in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, panama,
Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, el Salvador and Sweden, in order of
openings. With the expansion of McDonalds into many international markets, the company
has become a symbol of globalization and the spread of the American way of life. Its
prominence has also made it a frequent topic of public debates about obesity, corporate
ethics. The McDonalds headquarters complex, McDonalds plaza, is located in oak brook,
illinois. It sits on the site of the former headquarters and stabling area of paul butler, the
founder of oak brook. McDonalds moved into the oak brook facility from an office within
the Chicago loop in 1971.

restaurants headquartered in unincorporated miami-dade county, florida, united states. The

company began in 1953 as insta-burger king, a jacksonville, florida-based restaurant chain.
After insta-burger king ran into financial difficulties in 1954, its two miami-based
franchisees, david edgerton and james mc lamore, purchased the company and renamed it
burger king. Over the next half century, the company would change hands four times, with its
third set of owners, a partnership of tpg capital, bain capital, and goldman sachs capital
partners, taking it public in 2002. In late 2010, 3g capital of brazil acquired a majority stake
in bk in a deal valued at us$3.26 billion. The new owners promptly initiated a restructuring of
the company to reverse its fortunes. 3g, along with partner berkshire hathaway, eventually
merged the company with canadian-based donut chain tim hortons.

and another with hard castle restaurants pvt. Ltd. In the western & southern region.
As a leader in qsr (quick service restaurant) segment McDonalds has pioneered various
industry benchmark practices over the past decade of serving Indian customers, including
new concepts such as

Concept of Comparative Study

The comparative method is often used in the early stages of the development of a branch of
science. It can help the researcher to ascend from the initial level of exploratory case studies
to a more advanced level of general theoretical models, invariances, such as causality or
evolution.
The design of comparative research is simple. Your objects are specimens or cases which are
similar in some respects (otherwise, it would not be meaningful to compare them) but they
differ in some respects. These differences become the focus of examination. The goal is to
find out why the cases are different: to reveal the general underlying structure which
generates or allows such a variation.
Comparation is one of the most efficient methods for explicating or utilizing tacit knowledge
or tacit attitudes. This can be done, for example, by showing in parallel two slides of two
slightly different objects or situations and by asking people to explain verbally their
differences.
The method is also versatile: you can use it in detail work as a complement to other methods,
or the entire structure of a research project can consist of the comparison of just a few cases.

Concept of Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is a term frequently used in marketing. It is a measure of how products
and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. Customer
satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose
reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified
satisfaction goals." in a survey of nearly 200 senior marketing managers, 71 percent
responded that they found a customer satisfaction metric very useful in managing and
monitoring their businesses.
It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is often part of a balanced
scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer
satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of
business strategy.
"Within organizations, customer satisfaction ratings can have powerful effects. They focus
employees on the importance of fulfilling customers' expectations. Furthermore, when these
ratings dip, they warn of problems that can affect sales and profitability. These metrics
quantify an important dynamic. When a brand has loyal customers, it gains positive word-ofmouth marketing, which is both free and highly effective."
Therefore, it is essential for businesses to effectively manage customer satisfaction. To be
able do this, firms need reliable and representative measures of satisfaction.
"In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their product or service
has met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction.
When customers have high expectations and the reality falls short, they will be disappointed
and will likely rate their experience as less than satisfying. For this reason, a luxury resort,
for example, might receive a lower satisfaction rating than a budget motel-even though its
facilities and service would be deemed superior in 'absolute' terms."
The importance of customer satisfaction diminishes when a firm has increased bargaining
power. For example, cell phone plan providers, such as verizon, participate in an industry that
is an oligopoly, where only a few suppliers of a certain product or service exist. As such,
many cell phone plan contracts have a lot of fine print with provisions that they would never
get away if there were, say, 100 cell phone plan providers, because customer satisfaction
would be far too low, and customers would easily have the option of leaving for a better
contract offer.

There is a substantial body of empirical literature that establishes the benefits of customer
satisfaction for firms. This literature is summarized by mittal and frennea .

Importance of customer satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is important because it provides marketers and business owners with a
metric that they can use to manage and improve their businesses. In a survey of nearly 200
senior marketing managers, 71 percent responded that they found a customer satisfaction
metric very useful in managing and monitoring their businesses.
Here are the top six reasons why customer satisfaction is so important:

Its a leading indicator of consumer repurchase intentions and loyalty

Its a point of differentiation
It reduces customer churn
It increases customer lifetime value
It reduces negative word of mouth
Its cheaper to retain customers than acquire new ones

Types of research

Descriptive or documentary research

Many customer satisfaction studies are intentionally or unintentionally only "descriptive" in

nature because they simply provide a snapshot in time of customer attitudes. If the study
instrument is administered to groups of customers periodically, then a descriptive picture of
customer satisfaction through time can be developed (this is a type of "tracking" study).

Inferential or models-based research

Beyond documentary types of work are studies that attempt to provide an understanding of
why customers have the perceptions they do and what may be done to change those
perceptions. While models-based studies also provide snapshots of customer attitudes, the
results of these studies are more powerful because they present the firm with
recommendations on how to improve customer satisfaction. Frequently, these studies also

provide firms with a prioritization of the various recommended actions. Inferential studies
can also be conducted as tracking studies. When this is done, the firm can gain insight into
how the drivers of customer satisfaction are changing in addition to documenting the levels
and areas of customer satisfaction.

Methods

Quantitative Research Studies

Quantitative studies allow a firm to develop an understanding of the "big picture" of their
customers' experiences based upon a relatively small number of interviews. This "sample" of
the firm's customers must be carefully designed and drawn if the results of the study are to be
considered representative of the customer population as a whole. In most cases, the results of
quantitative studies are based upon the responses of a relatively "large" number of
interviews. Depending upon the size of the population and the amount of segmentation
desired, "large" can be as few as 50 responses or range from several hundred to thousands of
interviews. Mail-based, telephone-based, and (more recently) Internet-based surveys and
related data collection.

Qualitative Research Studies

Qualitative studies are used by firms to provide a more detailed and/or unconstrained
understanding of customer experiences. In most cases, the results of qualitative studies are
based upon dozens of interviews. Qualitative studies are not designed to provide insights that
are projectable to the customer population: qualitative studies are used for initial exploration
of experiences and topics or to probe more deeply the reasons behind customer perceptions.
Focus groups (group depth interviews) and "one-on-ones" (individual depth interviews) are
common examples of qualitative studies.

Comparison of McDonalds and KFC chain-store operations Model

Both KFC and McDonalds implement regular sales and franchising sales on the
management mode to achieve profitable growth. Using the direct sales, the company

may be control shares absolutely, or there may also be a partnership with others.
Under this mode of operation, the company will pay the high up-front costs in relation
to the latter income part, and also the cost will be expended at one time. The long time
gap will have an impact for the capital chain of the entire company; however, using the
franchising sales, although it increases the costs of control and management to the
company's stores, the upfront initial fee to supplement the cash flows of the company

will make the cash flow of the company smoothly as a whole. (alibaba 2012)
Since 1993, KFC began franchising in xian, china. In 1998, it issued the new
franchising policy called not starting from scratch. By the end of 2006, KFC has 95%
regular sales stores in china, and only 5% franchises stores. (study mode 2011)
compared with KFC, McDonalds officially introduced into a franchising business
model in china. McDonalds has more than 700 restaurants in china; most 26restaurants
are joint ventures with local chinese firms accounted for 50% operation modes,
contractual joint venture and wholly foreign-owned enterprises, and only a few stores
are franchise.

Comparison between the product and services of McDonalds and KFC

The comparis. The 4ps are:

Product
The stock turnover of KFC is relatively high. The Prices and quality of the product is
always compared. Their product includes goods (burgers, chicky meals etc) and services
(cleanliness, quick service, parties, and meetings). KFC products are based on high
quality. KFC has a head-on competition with McDonalds so wherever they place their
products; KFC goes there as well. Where in case of MCD, the products are value for

money.
Price
The price strategies of KFC are relatively expensive. Where the prices of MCD products

are according to the quality products.

Place
Distribution channel: KFC has only one channel of distribution i.e. direct where the
goods are transferred to the consumer directly. KFC has no middlemen.
Distribution of consumer goods and services: KFC does distribution of consumer goods
directly to the consumer. It also does distribution of services to the consumer like
parking, sitting, home delivery, etc. KFC does intensive distribution on its outlets (All
and everything on every outlet). The distribution channel of MCD products are direct and

has no middlemen in between.

Promotion
KFC spend 2% of its profits on advertisement. KFC use print media and most recently
doing televised marketing to promote it products. KFC advertising media involve:
newspapers, pamphlets, billboards and television. Where MCD use only digital media
and the do not spend much more on advertisement.

Pest analysis:
The pest analysis includes the political, economical, socio-culture and technological factors.
These are described in detail as under:
Political factors: the political factors include the government policies as KFC being a
foreign company, but they have to obey the policies of the government laid by the
government of Pakistan, the country where the business activities are being carried out. KFC
has handled this situation very tactfully and has obeyed the policies of the government as
prescribe by the government in order to run this kind of business. The other major factor is
the pricing policies. KFC maintain & design its Price policies keeping in view the income &
income distribution of the people living in the country. Thats why all the classes are the
target market of KFC. And the most important factor is the political instability. As in
Pakistan, there are political crises faced by the government, these greatly affect the business
of KFC.
Economical factors: the economic factors includes the income of the people, KFC is going
to target. Income is an important economical factor of the KFC. This factor decides which
class KFC is going to target. In the early time of KFC, they were focusing on the upper class
but they after some time changed their strategies and started to target the mass market by
introducing some different kinds of meals and offers through which we can say that they
target the middle & the upper level as well. The consumption behaviour of the people plays
an important role. KFC also estimated the consumption behaviour of the people, their liking
and disliking and make decision accordingly. Payment method is an important factor in the
economical factor of the KFC. They check the behaviour of the regarding the payment
methods of the people. They check whether the gives money in the form of cash or plastic
money.
Socio-culture factors: the social/cultural factors includes the social class, as it is discussed
earlier that KFC target all the class including the upper class, upper middle and lower middle
class etc. Although the culture of KFC from where they come is entirely different but they
have adopted the Pakistani culture as they had to serve the people living in Pakistan having
entirely different culture from other areas. And it has not only adopted the Pakistani culture

but also the religion as well. They offer halal foods to the customers, which is the symbol that
they adopted the Muslim religion strategies as they had to serve in the Muslim country, to the
Muslim customers.
Technological factors: the technological factors include the pace of change at a fast level.
Pace of change mean rate of change. KFC has strategy to introduce new technology
whenever they think that it is a time to introduce new technology. Research & development is
also an important factor in the technological factor. KFC always support the work of research
& development in order to introduce the new technology. Capital formation means stock of
machinery. KFC has a stock of machinery in order to run its business activities. In other
words KFC has a good amount of capital formation.

McDonalds franchise
1. McDonalds is not just a restaurant.
This sentence not only accurately covers business philosophy of McDonalds, but also
reflects franchise concept of McDonalds. McDonalds is not just a restaurant for sale, and as
well as the concept of corporate culture. Initially, McDonalds franchise can be a new store,
or it can be an old one. The investment costs for new stores and old shops are different. In the
medium of 2004, McDonalds opened a regular chain first, and then converted them to
franchised outlets. That franchise can use depreciation equipment; shops, furniture and
decoration, and the joined costs are correspondingly reduced. McDonalds franchisee is a
long-term partnership that the franchise agreement for a period of 20 years. (wenku 2011a)
2. McDonalds franchise mode
McDonalds corporation is one of the most successful franchises in the world; it creates a
unique franchise model: the company will buy or rent the shops, and then subleases it to the
franchisee. This real estates are the important property of McDonalds, while rental income
of these shops also accounted for a significant proportion of the income. The following table
5 will be a very good description of the McDonalds franchise mode. (wenku 2011a)
McDonalds franchise mode (wenku 2011a) location selection 24 provinces in north, central
and south of the china investment initial fee must be non-borrowed funds; company or
partners to join forms are not be allowed. As funds are not enough, McDonalds firm allows
you to rend the facilities, but you need to buy these devices within 3 years 27
Training 12 weeks training. Offer the staff training at the University of Hamburg for the
franchise. It also provides management consulting, advertising and other services.
3. The features of McDonalds stores selection
McDonalds expands their scale though the chain of business, however, the first step in
achieving this objective is through comprehensive market information and the location of the
evaluation criteria to select suitable store locations. It will make the stores more standardized

and more simplistic at headquarters management. The preferred terms of McDonalds

business success is selecting good location.
McDonalds will not spend huge investment to develop the new markets, but rather to search
for their own market all over the world. So mostly, they choose fully copy shop store
locations as possible. With a vivid metaphor, they are not tailored to each person, but they are
looking for people who are suitable for their clothes. (wenku 2012c)

KFCs franchises
1. Do not start from scratch
The idea called do not start from scratch is a special point of franchise of KFC in china.
This refers to starting a resale of profitable and sophisticated restaurants, which are sold to
franchisees. Franchisees are not required to start from scratch so that will avoid choosing a
place or setting up a shop on their own, such as recruiting, training and managing people as a
result of the work. The franchisees will greatly reduce the risk of investment and also
improve the chances of success. Recently franchise of KFC is a mature restaurant in the form
of transfer. Joining KFC is also a long-term cooperative relationship; the first period of
cooperation will be continued at least ten years for franchising agreements. Franchisee must
voluntarily work on KFC franchise more than a decade. (wenku 2011b)
2. KFC franchise mode
New franchise operators will be authorized to run a mature KFC restaurant, which had
already begun to profit at least for a year. Purchase charge for each restaurant's will be
calculated according to the specifics of the restaurant, which includes all the 28 decoration,
equipment, profit, and transfer of employees except from the purchase of immovable
property. Table 6 explains KFCs franchise mode. (wenku 2011b)

than 30% or loan, but the loan amount cannot exceed 30% of the amount of investment
training 13 weeks training:<restaurant manager>,<restaurant management>,<how to manage
the franchise restaurant>,<KFC background> and the other relevant courses.

3. High commercial planning in KFC

Site success is one of KFCs core competitiveness. Through the research on internet, KFC
has a thorough planning. Firstly, the selection and division of location will consider their own
stability and maturity of market positioning and business circles. Secondly, KFC will
research the stream of people in the areas and make sure competitors will not intercept their
customers. (doc88 2012a)
4. Brand helping and promise keeping
KFC is one of the yum group's brands. On the management mode of chain, yum introduced
pizza hut and their other restaurant brands to enter the chinese market with the similar sales,
finance, supply-chain and other strategies. Through multi-brand synergies, it enhances the
competitive advantage of KFC, and also integrates the supply chain. They are full use of the
facilities in china is a big agricultural to guarantee the maximum profit of KFC. (wenku

Comparison of McDonalds and KFC operation strategy---Growth strategy

McDonalds and KFC's growth as characterized is presented by some quantitative indicators
in the previous chapter, such as growth of sales revenue, number of restaurants and the
number of employment, which can be seen as both of them want to expand the organization's
scale. The strategy of McDonalds and Kentucky fried chicken is basically growth strategy in
china. Growth strategy can be achieved through direct growth, vertical integration, and
horizontal integration to achieve. Specific strategic development includes mergers,
acquisitions, partnerships, franchising, strategic alliances, and so on. (strat. Mgmt. J.)
KFC and McDonalds have taken a direct expansion of growth, but the first McDonalds
children's clothing stores called mckids opening in shanghai, china in 2004 marked the
adjustment of McDonalds business strategy, it means that the company is seeking effective
growth through diversification. In addition, there are also differentiations on drive-through
restaurants. (Brand republic 2004)

KFC and McDonalds strategies summary

Since 1993, KFC firstly improved franchise mode into china, and then established
appropriate organizations for the response of rapid decision. Thus KFC started strategy
named accelerated. Because of the development of KFC, McDonalds also begun their
strategy on Chinese market. In 2005, McDonalds opened up franchise mode at more than 30
cities. In addition, KFC used the Chinese characteristics business mode into KFC restaurants
of china. After the initial fee paid, the franchisee found that there is not profit; KFC will be
responsible for the losses. If the store is working well, according to the agreement which is
signed before, KFC will buy this store with 1 or 2 times of the Price after two or three years.
So it means that the normal franchises shop may become a joint venture shop, and then a
joint venture shop may become KFC own shop. Mostly this is more like Chinese investment
style because of zero risk. It states that McDonalds will earn higher profits from the
following operations. But KFCs Chinese characteristics mode is clearly more suitable for
the Chinese market. (xinhuanet 2004)
Actually, McDonalds decision-making systems are slower than KFCs on the long term
organization. And McDonalds often paranoid in "the Price is right" conservative principles
when choose the locations. They all greatly affected its market expansion in china. On the
contrary, KFC has more adventurous innovation sprit. It leads to KFC will get a good
location faster than McDonalds. (News 2006)

CHAPTER-IV
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Results of the study
As two of the world's largest fast-food giants, McDonalds and Kentucky fried chicken
(KFC) are both from the United States.
KFC launched its first mobile unit, which took the streets of karachi by storm. The mobile
unit has been designed to cater to the needs of those who are on the go, and have little time to
stop by at a restaurant. It also provides a unique convenience of enjoying the delicious KFC
offering anytime, anywhere, thus making fast food truly fast and convenient. McDonalds
corporation is one of the most successful franchises in the world; it creates a unique franchise
model: the company will buy or rent the shops, and then subleases it to the franchisee. This
real estates are the important property of McDonalds, while rental income of these shops
also accounted for a significant proportion of the income.
The strategy of McDonalds and Kentucky fried chicken is basically growth strategy in china.
Growth strategy can be achieved through direct growth, vertical integration, and horizontal
integration to achieve. Specific strategic development includes mergers, acquisitions,
partnerships, franchising, strategic alliances, and so on.
KFC and McDonalds have taken a direct expansion of growth, but the first McDonalds
children's clothing stores called mckids opening in shanghai, china in 2004 marked the
adjustment of McDonalds business strategy, it means that the company is seeking effective
growth through diversification. In addition, there are also differentiations on drive-through
restaurants. (Brand republic 2004)

Limitations of our study:

Every study has certain limitations and constraints. Although it was tried the best still there
were certain limitations. The limitations faced were as follows :
Accuracy
The data was collected through questionnaire. The responds from the respondents may not
be accurate
High Cost.
Collecting data using primary research is a costly proposition as marketer has to be involved
throughout and has to design everything.
Time Consuming.
Because of exhaustive nature of the exercise, the time required to do research accurately is
very long as compared to secondary data, which can be collected in much lesser time
duration.
Inaccurate Feedbacks
In case the research involves taking feedbacks from the targeted audience, there are high
chances that feedback given is not correct. Feedbacks by their basic nature are usually
biased or given just for the sake of it.
More number of resources is required.
Leaving aside cost and time, other resources like human resources and materials too are
needed in larger quantity to do surveys and data collection.

Suggestions & Recommendations.

After analyzing the primary data and considering result of the study the following
recommendations are suggested to be taken:

They should also make their menu dynamic, by introducing new meals after certain period of
time
New items should be introduced by varying the taste.

Both food brands should adopt certain strategy to attract the customers. It could be by
introducing some discount packages for families, employees, students or regular customers.
The membership card can be used to provide certain extra value to the customer.
KFC needs to have more outlets, at commercial areas.

Mobile outlets may be an effective addition as well.

KFC should work for having more solid marketing departments.

Both food brands should organize and run the proper advertisement campaign.
