 INTRODUCTION:

INTERNATIONAL FASTFOOD CHAIN:

A fast food restaurant, also known as a Quick Service Restaurant or QSR within the industry
itself, is a specific type of restaurant characterized both by its fast food cuisine and by minimal
table service. Food served in fast food restaurants typically caters to a “meat-sweet diet” and is
offered from a limited menu; is cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot; is finished and packaged
to order; and is usually available ready to take away, though seating may be provided. Fast food
restaurants are usually part of a restaurant chain or franchise operation, which provisions
standardized ingredients and/or partially prepared foods and supplies to each restaurant through
controlled supply channels. The term “fast food” was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam–
Webster in 1951Human Resource management Refers to the Policies, practices and systems that
influence employees behavior, attitude and performance, it plays an active role in attracting,
Motivating, Rewarding and retaining Employees.
Training plays a Very strategic role in supporting a business. Training refers to a planned effort
by a company to facilitate employees learning of job related competencies. These competencies
include knowledge, skills or behaviors that are critical for successful job performance.
Competitiveness refers to a company’s ability to maintain and gain share in an industry.
Although there are different types of businesses this Research would include a detailed study on
the Training and development of a few Quick service restaurants (QSR) along with the High
Leverage Training they are into to increase and make the training program more useful for the
employees Development and have a Summative evaluation there off. High Leverage Training is
a broader perspective which Companies are getting into.
High leverage Training is linked to the Strategic Business Goals and objectives, uses an
instructional Design process to ensure that training is effective, and compares or benchmarks the
companies Training programs against training program in other companies. This also helps to
create working conditions that encourage continuous learning as this is required for the company
to understand the entire work system including the relationships among their jobs, their work
units and the company. Employee development is a necessary component of a company’s effort
to improve quality, to meet the challenges of global competition and social change and to
incorporate technological advances and changes in work design. And last, Summative evaluation
is considered to the extent that trainees have changed as a result of participating in the training
program. QSR illustrate how training can contribute to companies.
COMPETITIVENESS: Refers to a company’s ability to maintain and gain market share in an
industry.
 HISTORY:
FASTFOOD:
Fast food is a type of mass-produced food designed for commercial resale and with a strong
priority placed on “speed of service” versus other relevant factors involved in culinary science.
Fast food was originally created as a commercial strategy to accommodate the larger numbers of
busy commuters, travelers and wage workers who often did not have the time to sit down at
a public house or diner and wait for their meal. By making speed of service the priority, this
ensured that customers with strictly limited time (a commuter stopping to procure dinner to bring
home to their family, for example, or an hourly laborer on a short lunch break were not
inconvenienced by waiting for their food to be cooked on-the-spot (as is expected from a
traditional “sit down” restaurant). For those with no time to spare, fast food became a
multibillion-dollar industry. In 2018, the fast food industry was worth an estimated $570 billion
globally.
The fastest form of “fast food” consists of pre-cooked meals kept in readiness for a customer’s
arrival (Boston Market rotisserie chicken, Little Caesars pizza, etc.), with waiting time reduced
to mere seconds. Other fast food outlets, primarily the hamburger outlets (McDonald’s, Burger
King, etc.) use mass-produced pre-prepared ingredients (bagged buns & condiments, frozen beef
patties, prewashed/sliced vegetables, etc.) but take great pains to point out to the customer that
the “meat and potatoes” (hamburgers and French fries) are always cooked fresh (or at least
relatively recently) and assembled “to order” (like at a diner).
Although a vast variety of food can be “cooked fast”, “fast food” is a commercial term limited to
food sold in a restaurant or store with frozen, preheated or precooked ingredients, and served to
the customer in a packaged form takeout/takeaway.
The traditional family dinner is increasingly being replaced by the consumption of takeaway fast
food. As a result, the time invested on food preparation is getting lower, with an average couple
in the United States spending 47 minutes and 19 seconds per day on food
preparation or takeout/take-away.
 5G TECHNOLOGY
INTRODUCTION:

Simply put, 5G is the fifth generation in mobile networks. It enables connections between
machines, objects and devices that are faster and more powerful than previous networks. For
example, with 5G, latency (response times) are dramatically reduced.

 “When I say something to you, if you respond back immediately, that's low latency. If I say
something and it takes a long time for your response to come back, that's a higher latency,”
Beasley explains.

5G also offers higher capacities in terms of bandwidth, which is the maximum rate of data that
can be transferred through a specific path (or connection). The technology allows us to
communicate more information or data at once, and in a quicker amount of time.

How Will 5G Be Implemented Throughout the Food Industry?

To streamline the entire process of production, transportation and sale of food products, the
procedures will need to be connected through a fully functional 5G-enabled system. This starts
with 5G network capabilities being used in sensors that monitor things like oxygen levels and
chemicals in water sources where production begins.

Manufacturing facilities will need 5G networks for use on conveyor systems and other machines,
and food containers will need sensors much like those found on medication-containing vessels in
the pharmaceutical industry.

The food industry is already using a myriad of technological components to make, transport and
sell food. Technological innovations like 5G and advanced Internet of Things (IoT) sensors are
the next step toward revolutionizing the way food is created, delivered and purchased.

Improved Efficiency and Communications

All levels of the food supply chain are already using ERP system software, GPS and other
technologies to accurately track, send and analyze product data in real time.

Tracking food from farm all the way to the point of sale enables faster and more robust data
capabilities that lead to improved efficiency and communications. 5G will reduce lag times,
inaccuracies in product location due to slow data reporting and even product-loss due to mass
recalls.

Beasley explains that farmers can use 5G-enabled IoT sensors that identify sections, aisles or
rows rather than the entire farm. In the case of a recall, these sensors can help determine exactly
which products are bad, eliminating the need to recall an excessive amount of merchandise.
Beasley also says that 5G will enable efficient, immediate and automated tracking of every facet
of the food journey, with little to no need for human interaction. He says 5G-enabled IoT devices
and sensors on products can send real-time information about where products are, without
workers having to scan barcodes, use RFID readers (radio frequency identification) or handle the
food.

 “You can see histories of everything that gets touched along the way, without the need for
human scanning with barcodes or RFID readers. As products are passing through various
transportation points in the supply chain, IoT sensors can record the entire history of the
journey,” Beasley says.

ENHANCED SAFETY:

Factors such as FDA regulations and consumer wellbeing make safety a huge concern for anyone
in the food industry. Thanks to a range of data collection, scanning, analyzing and
communicating capabilities, 5G can drastically improve safety protocols throughout the food
industry supply chain. This new network will enable more timely and accurate pinpointing of
food conditions.

Beasley says, “5G-enabled IoT devices can go with the food products and report their condition,
temperature, safety, humidity level and other related factors in real-time.”

In addition to using new, high-speed technology to accurately monitor temperature and condition
issues, food industry professionals can also utilize 5G to trace where a product came from in
order to ensure FDA regulations have been adhered to throughout a product’s journey.

Emerging technology aims to help the food industry operate more efficiently and effectively than
ever before. From streamlined supply chains to better safety practices, the benefits from 5G
networks could drive the food industry forward at a rapid pace.

McDonald's expected to launch a smart device on April 15:

Fast-food chain McDonald's is reportedly planning to launch a new "5G" smart product here and
the details will be revealed on April 15, the media reported. The company has shared various
teasers and promotional images of the same. However, it is currently unknown what exactly the
smart product is and how the newer and faster bandwidth ties in with it, reports Gizmo China.
It is assumed that the new product will have a display surrounded by thin bezels. The smart
device will even feature a wide-angle lens, which will support facial recognition as well. The
device will also have speakers and will support 5G networking.
Currently, it is unclear if this is a collaboration between McDonald's and a tech industry brand or
the main focus of the launch is some improvement of the fast-food chain itself.
To further create a buzz, the fast-food chain's We Chat app has opened a new "5G" gift
certificate that includes three kinds of coupons on the basis of discounts. These coupons can only
be redeemed on April 15 and April 16 through applets, restaurant buffet ordering machines, and
restaurant counter scan codes.
VERTICAL INTEGRATION:-
Vertical integration is extremely useful in helping companies increase profits and helping them
to improve their efficiency by decreasing costs such as transportation expenses and production
time because time is a very valuable resource in industry.

VERTICAL INTEGRATION IN FOOD INDUSTRY:

There are numerous variables influencing customers purchasing decisions, yet all are interface
by one theme, trust. Lately there has been a push towards more transparency in the food industry.
Consumers are increasingly aware of the starting point, fixings, and handling of the items they
buy.
Vertical integration evacuates the means and riddle between the farm and the final product. This
makes a less complex supply chain that makes an immediate connection right back to the farm.
This permits a business to "recount to the story" of where the item originated from, ultimately
making trust with the consumer.

BENEFITS:
Vertical integration can emphatically affect buyers trust. The food industry is interestingly
situated to profit by vertical integration on the grounds that the safety and quality of each fixing,
regardless of how little, is basic to the final product's security and quality.
FOOD SAFETY: Food safety is completely basic in the food industry. Vertically integrated
organizations have a couple of key favorable circumstances here, one being that they cooperate
on a long-term basis. A nearby working relationship makes a progressively steady condition
rather than routinely switching suppliers. Vertically integrated organizations additionally have
integral food safety programs, improving the correspondence and the capacity to fulfill
expanding food safety standards.
TRACEABILITY: Traceability comes down to frameworks and communication. At the point
when an organization is vertically integrated, they can share data at a more profound level.
Together with their sister organizations, they can construct frameworks where they interface
imperative data between the organizations. This can improve traceability, both in the detail of the
follow, just as in the time it takes to lead the follow.
INNOVATION AND COLLABORATION: Innovation and collaboration is possibly the most
significant advantage of vertical integration. A vertically integrated organization can work
together and inventively develop with their sister-associations at a more profound level than a
non-vertically coordinated group of organizations. This results in progressively flexible and
customized arrangements that other organizations can't give.
QUALITY: Quality goes hand-in-hand with innovation. New advancements and strategies can
improve the nature of the items. A vertically integrated organization can share what might be
considered "exchange secrets" with their sister-organizations. The capacity to gain knowledge
directly from one another help with improving the general quality.
RELIABLE SUPPLY: A vertically integrated group of organizations offer an increasingly
predictable and reliable supply of products. This is because of the solid association between the
organizations that gives the need of supply to the sister-organizations.

EXAMPLE:
McDONALD’S
If we go through the fast food industry, McDonald’s is a fine example of how vertical
integration can keep costs down and profits up. It is known as “The King of Vertical
Integration”. They grow their own beef for their hamburger, process their own meat, they own
agricultural lands where they grow their own potatoes for their French fries, make their own
flavors and blend mixes in factories that they can transport and distribute to all their stores by
McDonald’s trucks. By owning both, the ingredients as well as transportation facilities, it makes
easier to get their product to their stores on lower cost. As further proof of vertical integration
strategy, McDonalds also owns the land where their stores are situated on, so they do not have to
deal with leases and landlords. Utilization of vertical integration makes McDonald’s one of the
cheapest fast food chains worldwide.
HORIZONTAL INTEGRATION:-
The merger of two organizations at comparative levels in the production supply chain is known
as horizontal integration. The transaction permits organizations to extend their market share and
cut expenses with cooperative energies.
When implemented correctly, horizontal integration can expand the market share and intensity of
two organizations. The organizations can consolidate cooperative energies, product offerings,
and enter new markets. Horizontal integration also decreases the degree of rivalry in the market
while boosting the income of the members who in any case might not have won in a fierce
market condition freely. Through coordination, the gatherings included can share institutional
information while reducing costs.

BLOCK CHAIN TECHNOLOGY:-

Block chain technology is a method for putting away and sharing data over a system of users in
an open virtual space. Block chain innovation considers users to take a look at all exchanges
continuously and at the same time.

BLOCK CHAIN IN FOOD INDUSTRY:

As block chain keeps on pushing for mass appropriation, the food and beverage industry is
becoming one of the most comprehensive goals for the technology. In 2019, block chain has
been penetrating the food industry at a quickened pace. According to recent research, 20% of the
main 10 worldwide food merchants will utilize block chain by 2025.

TRUST ISSUE, BLOCK CHAIN – GO TO SOLUTION:

There was a basic issue of trust in the food industry that block chain has been attempted to solve.
The public demand for transparency has been growing in the market at a higher rate. Basically,
clients are turning out to be more health conscious and however need to know about the food
they get. A report found out that 75% of consumers were likely to shift towards the brand which
provides a deep insight and knowledge of their food. Block chain, being an effectively
accessible, is by all accounts the go-to answer for that case, as it can give consumers concrete,
unchanging information about their food.

TRACEABILITY:
Food companies executed traceability since they saw that the consumers required transparency
and validity. Blockchain's permanence helped them to demonstrate that the data the different
supply chain organizations give is uncorrupted

EXAMPLE: DOMINO’S PIZZA

According to recent news, Domino’s Pizza is about to adopt block chain based solutions in
Malaysia and Singapore for operations regarding logistics management. As indicated by Coin
telegraph, Domino's will be working with its accomplice Singularity NET to launch another
stage which utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) calculations and blockchain-controlled
arrangements. The point is to improve the organization's activities with respect to logistics
operations and supply chain management in Malaysia and Singapore.
The joint official statement from Domino's Pizza and Singularity NET included that the AI
framework will work on the Singularity NET Beta stage, which runs on an Ethereum (ETH)
block chain-empowered decentralized marketplace.
The organizations uncovered that the objective of the task is to upgrade the activities of
Domino's Pizza via doing feasibility studies, arranging workshops based on AI solutions, and
growing new calculations that will cater demands and requests in the food and logistics industry.
Domino's Pizza currently operates more than 260 stores in Malaysia and Singapore, utilizing in
the staff of over 4,000 people in both of the nations.
The move is not really the primary innovatively forward activity from Domino's Pizza, as it
recently permitted customers to pay for Domino's Pizza with Bitcoin through services, for
example, PizzaForCoins.
Meanwhile, Singularity NET has worked with Chinese organizations to give AI calculations in
different fields, for example, Computer Vision, Optical Character Recognition, and model
preparing. Singularity NET has also inked an arrangement with Hara, a startup in the
agribusiness part, to deal with a block chain-fueled arrangement that will send data to Indonesian
farmers to keep them refreshed on soil quality, land possession subtleties, and costs of farming
products.

EXAMPLE: BURGER KING

Burger King is teaming with Waves to create a special token called Whopper coin – named after
the outlet’s flagship Whopper Sandwich burger.
Burger King means to utilize the coin as loyalty coin where you get 1 coin for every Whopper
you purchase from them. At that point, you get awards for you gathered coins. In addition, since
the coins are based on the blockchain, you can move them and sell them. After collecting 1,700
coins, customers can get one burger. On August 25, 2017, 1 billion Whopper Coins (WHO) were
issued utilizing the Waves blockchain. The new digital cryptocurrency was expected for the
acquisition of Whoppers or different burgers.
Artificial intelligence reasoning is grabbing the eye of organizations across numerous orders and
parts with Food Processing and Handling (FP&H) being one of them. Today, the FP&H business
is topped at an astounding $100 billion and is relied upon to enlist a CAGR of over 65.3% during
the estimation time frame, (2020 - 2025). Changes in purchaser requests toward leaning toward
quick, reasonable, and effectively open nourishment choices have prompted a change in the
nourishment and refreshment industry, with showcase pioneers utilizing trend setting
innovations, for example artificial intelligence and machine learning to scale activities and assist
organizations with remaining applicable in a powerful market condition.
The AI has been effectively picking up conspicuousness in the course of the most recent couple
of years, with a large number of the organizations effectively putting resources into investigating
the capability of innovation in the business. This rising innovation of AI is helping F&B
organizations with supply chain management through logistics, predictive analytics and also
transparency. As supply chain is helping organizations to enhance quickly by decreasing an
opportunity to showcase, and by setting up a skillful store network that is fit for predicting and
furthermore managing the uncertainties. This is driving the development of AI in the food and
beverage sector.
On the other hand artificial intelligence gives numerous advantages to the F&B business, yet the
significant expense of enormous scope arrangement in the segment is confining business sector
development. One of the difficulties of the food processing industry is its feedstock, which can
seldom saw as uniform. It is seen that the capacity of the nourishment is finished with the
assistance of difficult work. In any case, with AI, this procedure of arranging can be mechanized,
which can eventually decrease the work cost, speed up, and improve yields.
It is seen that the Food Industry has begun to use the Artificial Intelligence (AI) for improving
different contributions, streamlining the activities just as conveying better client experience.
The utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has without a doubt an extraordinary effect on the
nourishment preparing industry legitimately or by implication. Coming up next are some
fundamental classes on which Artificial Intelligence (AI) has put is sway are:
IMPROVING SUPPLY CHAIN:
 To upgrade food safety and keep up transparency in activities, organizations can utilize
AI's potential over their supply chain.

 Calculations dependent on artificial neural networks can monitor the procedure of AI

AUGMENTED REALITY

Augmented reality and Virtual reality have changed or we can say, reshaped the universe of E-
Commerce, social insurance and instruction. Presently, this innovation is going towards the food
industry. Some stats and facts related to AR and VR.
STATS AND FACTS
 The present value of the AR market stands at$3.5billion. 
 70 percent of the customers believe AR can bring those benefits. 
 14 million AR and VR devices are expected to be sold in 2019. 
 There are more than171 M VR users worldwide.

AUGMENTED REALITY CHANGING THE FOOD INDUSTRY

Creating wonder in the customer experience

Experiential promoting has changed the reason and development of nourishment and
accommodation driven occasions. Twenty to thirty year olds particularly see encounters as
methods for social capital, and sharing their participation and support at a stylish encounter is a
significant bit of their curated social identities. Augmenting the physical world with fascinating
and shareable substance has been the focal point of augmented reality in experiential
showcasing.
Adding Interactivity to Products 
Recently, the ascent of stages, for example, Instagram and Pinterest and social influencers have
indicated plainly that drawing in with clients carefully bring about genuine activity. Items and
retail store might be static yet its substance must grow past physical space to draw in the
consideration of potential and bringing buyers back.
Enlarged reality can without much of a stretch extension between customer, item and item
content. The ability of overlaying extra data, visual upgrade and cooperation on explicit things
allows item organizations to consolidate the advanced world with the physical one out of a
focused on and consistent way.

Domino’s has introduced what it claims is the world’s first augmented reality (AR) pizza ordering
offering.

The New Pizza Chef is accessible through the QSR's portable application and takes advantage of
both Apple's ARKit and Google's ARCore AR improvement systems so as to comprehend the
space around a client. Clients can make their own pizza mix utilizing a determination of fixings
and bases, breathing life into the nourishment before them for all intents and purposes. There are
additionally a few amazement and joy components remembered for the AR.

they help us to keep on driving on the web deals. Also, with the up to 2 million things sold online
in multi week, we know it's significant for us to consistently be making the internet requesting
experience progressively consistent, fulfilling and important for our customers."

IOT in Fast food Industry

Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as the network of devices that gather and convey data via the
Internet. Slowly, but surely, the Food industry is getting acquainted with the Internet of Things.
With the number of remarkable applications of the Internet of Things the food suppliers,
processors, and retailers are experiencing good opportunities for operational as well as financial
augmentation in their food businesses.
Each functional area of the food industry has been significantly getting better with the integration
of IoT. For an instance, IoT facilitates food companies to ensure superior levels of traceability,
food safety and, therefore accountability all through the farm-to-plate supplies chain operations. 

Better Food Safety:

The implementation of the internet of things (IoT) in the food industry has been considerably
diminishing the risk of food illness epidemic. Different kinds of sensors are being used to
monitor essential production state, shipping time and most essentially the temperature. The
utilization of real-time temperature tracking sensors allows organizations to closely supervise
food safety data points, ensuring effective cold chain management.

Logistics:
With the help of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) transmitters and GPS systems, the
distribution chain can be effectually monitored all along the whole storage and shipping course at
the sales points or stores. This also enables companies to be acquainted with the preferences of
customers, better reply to market requirements and decrease surpluses. The advanced Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) tracking provides supreme visibility into the food supply chain
helps automate delivery and shipping processes and effectively monitors and controls
temperature. It also enables shippers to track a location of the product with GPS.
Supply Chain Transparency:

Employing traceability and transparency throughout the global supply chain will aid food
agencies to succeed in business by acquiring customer loyalty and trust. Even though
international and domestic regulations can amplify the intricacy of the global food supply chain,
IoT technology can make it convenient for both companies and consumers to track products.
Further, transparency incorporates some added benefits for companies including improved
inventory management, cost savings, and faster lead times. Businesses can obtain such benefits
by identifying and solving incompetence in the supply chain, exceeding and meeting food safety
regulations, and offering transparency to customers.

Production and Storage:

Sensors can significantly help to perk up quality control, products tracking, workers’ activities,
and taking advantage of real-time analysis for production. Sensors persistently inspect the color
and specks throughout flour production, which helps to immediately rectify any inaccuracy.
Moreover, sensors gauge the moisture content along with protein or cash content and allow real-
time optimization of the production procedure.
 MACHINE LEARNING IN FAST FOOD INDUSTRY
Machine learning enables a computer system to make predictions or take some decisions using
historical data without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning uses a massive amount of
structured and semi-structured data so that a machine learning model can generate accurate result
or give predictions based on that data.

Teach Robots How to Cook using Machine Learning

California-based Miso Robotics is a startup focused on AI-driven robotic solutions for the
kitchen environment. The company’s flagship AI kitchen assistant “Flippy” combines 3D,
thermal, and regular vision to assist with grilling, frying, prepping, and plating.
In this example, Machine Learning was used to teach the robot:

 To recognize a steak, a cooked steak, and a cheese slice

 When to flip the steak and when to stop grilling it

For the recognition process, we explain below how colors and shapes are parameters used to
recognize an object from another one. Each time, the algorithm modifies internal parameters or
parts of its structure based on the initial fallacies (burnt or not cooked steak) and tries again. In
the end, the algorithm will understand a brown steak is a cooked steak.

Example of how the robots can analyze the grill

To understand if it’s the right time to flip and if the steak is cooked, the algorithm can examine
its different sensors and predict an answer according to those parameters.
In this example the most relevant parameters are:

 Temperature of the grill

 Temperature of the steak
 Color and shape of the steak
 Time spent on the grill

Then during the supervised learning, a human assesses accuracy by looking at the steak.
For each new steak, the algorithms modify the impact of each parameter based on the initial
fallacies and try again. The more data the robot processes, the more it learns, and the better the
steaks are cooked.

Machine Learning has many applications in restaurants from helping cooks in the kitchens to
forecasting future sales which in turn helps work out the requirement for labor and inventory
management. 
 Ultimately it can help restaurants run more efficiently, for example, by helping to reduce the 600
million tons of food wasted by restaurants globally and allowing restaurateurs to focus on where
they can add the most value.
McDonald’s restaurant in Miami, powered by Dynamic Yield, those displays have taken on
new dexterity. Algorithms crunch data as diverse as the weather, time of day, local traffic,
nearby events, and of course historical sales data, both at that specific franchise and around the
world. In the new McDonald’s machine-learning paradigm, significant display real estate goes
toward showing customers what other items have been popular at that location, and prompting
them with potential up sells.
