Introduction of McDonald
Corporate overview
Facts
Types of restaurants
To accommodate the current trend for high quality coffee and the
popularity of coffee shops in general, McDonald's introduced
McCafés. The McCafé concept is a café-style accompaniment to
McDonald's restaurants. McCafé is a concept of McDonald's
Australia, starting with Melbourne in 1993. Today, most McDonald's
in Australia have McCafés located within the existing McDonald's
restaurant. In Tasmania there are McCafés in every store, with the
rest of the states quickly following suit. After upgrading to the new
McCafe look and feel, some Australian stores have noticed up to a
60% increase in sales. As of the end of 2003 there were over 600
McCafés worldwide.
Redesign
The new design will include the traditional McDonald's yellow and red
colors, but the red will be muted to terra cotta, the yellow will turn
golden for a more "sunny" look, and olive and sage green will be
added. To warm up their look, the restaurants will have less plastic
and more brick and wood, with modern hanging lights to produce a
softer glow. Contemporary art or framed photographs will hang on the
walls.
The exterior will have golden awnings and a "swish brow" instead of
the traditional double-slanted mansard roof.
Business model
McDonald's Corporation earns revenue as an investor in properties, a
franchiser of restaurants, and an operator of restaurants.
Approximately 15% of McDonald's restaurants are owned and
operated by McDonald's Corporation directly. The remainder are
operated by others through a variety of franchise agreements and
joint ventures.

Advertising
McDonald's has for decades maintained an extensive advertising
campaign. In addition to the usual media (television, radio, and
newspaper), the company makes significant use of billboards and
signage, sponsors sporting events from ranging from Little League to
the Olympic Games, and makes coolers of orange drink with their
logo available for local events of all kinds. Nonetheless, television has
always played a central role in the company's advertising strategy.

Domino's Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ) is an international fast food pizza delivery
corporation headquartered just outside Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States. It was
founded by Tom Monaghan. There are currently about 8,500 corporate and franchised
stores in all 50 states and 55 countries.[1] It was the second-largest pizza chain behind
Pizza Hut in the United States when it went public in 2004 for just under $15 a share.[2] It
is commonly offered in school cafeterias.
Products
Until the late 1980s, Domino's kept its menu very simple. Most stores sold only one type
of crust (Classic Hand Tossed, also referred to as regular crust) in two sizes (large and
small) and only one choice of beverage (Coca-Cola Classic). Later, competition from
other delivery chains forced Domino’s to add Ultimate Deep Dish and Crunchy Thin
Crust, get rid of the small size (although the small size is now returning nationwide[7]),
and add medium and extra-large sizes (available at most locations), a choice of several
beverages, and side orders such as bread sticks and chicken wings (Domino's was the first
national pizza chain to sell chicken wings).
In the late 1990s, Domino's saw its take-out and delivery orders shrink with the
introduction of Little Caesars' Hot-N-Ready Pizza special. To combat falling sales, the
company's then-Vice President, Ken Calwell, introduced the "555" Deal coupled with
vigorous advertising and marketing techniques. When a customer ordered the 555 Pizza
Deal, they were able to obtain three medium pizzas for the price of $5 apiece, hence the
name 555. In some areas, this offer has become the "5.55" deal, an increase of $1.65.
The Oreo Dessert Pizza was first introduced in Ann Arbor, MI and was only available for
a limited time. The crust which was layered with vanilla sauce was then covered with
Oreo cookie crumbles, and finished with icing on top.[8] The farcical, almost ridiculous,
nature of the television commercials for the product often led the product to be
lampooned by satirists Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart on their respective television
shows.
Domino’s has also introduced numerous innovations in the pizza industry including the
now standard use of corrugated cardboard delivery boxes, the modern belt-driven pizza
oven, modern and centralized ingredient logistics, and the Heat Wave, a portable
electrical bag system that uses patented magnetic induction technology to keep the pizza
hot during delivery.
Franchisees
The rights to own, operate and franchise branches of the chain in Australia, New Zealand,
France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the Principality of Monaco are currently owned by
Domino's Pizza Enterprises, having been sold off by the parent company between 1993
and 2007. The master franchises for the UK and Ireland were purchased by Domino's
Pizza Group (now publicly traded as Domino's Pizza UK & IRL) in 1993

Controversies
Political issues
Tom Monaghan is one of the founders of Domino's, and while he is no longer involved
with the running of the corporation, the company has been recognized because of
Monaghan's financial support of Christian pro-life religious and political organizations,
such as Operation Rescue and the Thomas More Law Center.
30 Minute guarantee
Starting in 1973, Domino's Pizza had a guarantee that a customer would receive their
pizza within 30 minutes of ordering, or they would receive the pizza free. The guarantee
was reduced to $3 off in the mid 1980s due to concerns over drivers breaking traffic laws
and putting themselves and others at risk trying to fulfill the guarantee.[citation needed] To
further reduce accidents and unsafe driving, Domino's did not hold their drivers
accountable for any lates.[citation needed] In 1992, the company settled a lawsuit brought by the
family of an Indiana woman who had been killed by a Domino's delivery driver, paying
the family US$2.8 million. The guarantee was dropped that same year because of the
"public perception of reckless driving and irresponsibility", according to Monaghan.[10]
In 2008, the company again advertised a 30 minute delivery time in the U.S.; the fine
print in the material stated the time as merely an "estimate". However, in Brazil, Chile,
India, Indonesia, Lebanon, Mexico and Turkey, Domino's still guarantees delivery within
30 minutes, or the order is free but online orders are not available. In Israel, late delivery
results in cash back on the spot anywhere from a 5th to half the price of the order
(depending on the delay).
Advertising
In the 1980s, Domino's Pizza was well known for its advertisements featuring The Noid.
That concept was created by Group 243 Inc. who then hired Will Vinton Studios to
produce the television commercials that they created. Customers were implored to order
from Domino's in order to "avoid the Noid."
In 1989, a man, Kenneth Lamar Noid, who thought the ads were a personal attack on
him, held two employees of an Atlanta, Georgia, Domino's restaurant hostage for over
five hours. After forcing them to make him a pizza, Noid surrendered to police. Noid was
charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion, and possession of a firearm
during a crime, but he was found not guilty by reason of insanity.[11] Contrary to popular
belief, this incident did not cause Domino’s to pull the "Noid" campaign off the air; in
reality, Noid creator and owner Will Vinton Studios asked for a larger amount of money
for continued use of the Noid character, and Domino’s chose not to renew its contract.
In the first few years after the end of the Noid campaign, Domino's introduced their
"Something for Nothing" campaign, often accompanied by an animated domino wearing
sunglasses. Occasionally, a female domino with a blond ponytail would appear as well.
This lasted until 1994. Following the introduction of buffalo wings to the menu,
Domino's began using the "Gotta Be, Gotta Be Domino's" slogan, with the music set to
the tune of Queen's "We Will Rock You". Some early commercials centering on the
buffalo wings featured a buffalo with "wings" flying down to a football stadium. One of
the ads featured NBC broadcasters Charlie Jones and Paul Maguire. The campaign lasted
until 1996, after which the slogan was retired and the Domino's logo was revised to its
current form.
In Canada during the 1990s, a Domino's TV ad featured a family ordering a pizza, and
having it delivered by Wayne Gretzky.
In 2000, Domino’s introduced another advertising mascot for its North American
customers, Bad Andy. His objective was to get Domino’s employees to break the rules
set down by the company (his most famous was trying to get a worker to use a rolling pin
to shape the crust, even resorting to stalking to get him to try it). The slogan that
accompanied Andy was "Bad Andy. Good Pizza." It was not well received, and lasted
only a little over a year.
In 2008, Domino's introduced yet another mascot for North America, "Pasta Dude". This
was to introduce pasta dishes to its menu in competition with Pizza Hut who had also
added pasta to its menu. It was a satirical take on blatant pandoring toward "urban youth
culture". "Pasta Dude" is shown wearing a baseball cap backwards, a gold chain with a
large, square "Domino's Pizza" medallion and sneakers. All the while he is rhyming
about the new pasta line up and is shown doing various "Hip Hop Dance" inspired moves
before being swatted by a spatula. Within a few weeks it was soon edited to remove a
"questionable" dance move to prevent any bad press. The dance move in question looked
as if "Pasta Dude" was depicting a sexual position. To be more accurate, "Pasta Dude's
left hand looked as if it were placed on the small of an invisible partner's back, while his
right hand slapping their bottom from behind.

Conclusion
Abstract
Critics have excoriated the US fast-food industry in general, and McDonald's most
particularly, both per se and as a symbol of the United States. However, examining
McDonald's internationalization and development abroad suggests that McDonald's and
the others of its ilk are sources of development for mid-range countries. McDonald's
brings training in management, encourages entrepreneurship directly through franchises
and indirectly through demonstration effects, creates backward linkages that develop
local suppliers, fosters exports by their suppliers, and has positive external effects on
productivity and standards of service, cleanliness, and quality in the host economies.
