Mc D India supply
chain
 Before it set up its first restaurant in the country it
infused Rs 400 Crore to set up its delivery mechanism.
McDonald’s initiative to set up an efficient supply chain
and deploy state-of-art technology changed the entire
Indian fast food industry
 McDonald’s distribution centres in India came in the
following order: Noida and Kalamboli (Mumbai) in
1996, Bangalore in 2004, and the latest one in Kolkata
(2007).
 Between 1992 and 1996, when McDonald's opened its first outlet
in India, it worked frenetically to put the perfect supply chain in
place. It trained the local farmers to produce lettuces or potatoes
to specifications and worked with a vendor to get the perfect cold
chain in place. And explained to the suppliers precisely why only
one particular size of peas was acceptable These efforts paid off
in the form of joint ventures between McDonald's India (a 100%
wholly-owned subsidiary of McDonald's USA) and Hardcastle
Restaurants Pvt. Ltd, (Mumbai) and Connaught Plaza Restaurant
(New Delhi).
