Zitat des Tages von Steve Easterbrook:
The parents that we speak to, and the parents that are our customers, are very comfortable with the way that McDonald's fits into their lives.
There's a lot of businesses that are working hard, who are at the top of their games. Therefore, it's always going to be a market share fight.
We have to hire, retain, and develop the best staff.
I've never met him, but I love the simplicity with which Warren Buffett describes good and bad businesses and how he makes his investment decisions.
No one likes uncertainty.
We are putting the customer at the center of everything we do and are directing our resources towards those innovations and investments that will strengthen our ability to deliver a better McDonald's experience over time.
The McJob tag is misleading, and demeaning to our staff and franchisees.
Whether that's in communications or marketing or strategy, you need people to come in with a fresh perspective.
Ultimately, we're in the service business. We will always have an important human element.
The average customer comes into McDonald's three to four times a month, and I'm absolutely convinced that can fit in very comfortably into a balanced diet.
Ordering food has not changed for 30 or 40 years.
What I've looked to do is try and become a change agent for good, to create the behavioral changes, the cultural changes to really embrace urgency, adopt a higher tolerance to risk, and just encourage people to make decisions.
Ordering should be the most enjoyable experience, but at McDonald's, it can be one of the most stressful points in time.
We need to execute fewer things better.
Businesses increasingly have to differentiate themselves around their people, as much as their product, because thing are so replicable now.
Moving our headquarters to Chicago is another significant step in our journey to build a better McDonald's. This world-class environment will continue to drive business momentum by getting us even closer to customers, encouraging innovation and ensuring great talent is excited about where they work.
When you expand a business as fast as McDonald's did, part of the strength you have is the process and the efficiency.
When you get things right, good things happen.
