All-Day Breakfast By McDonalds: A Success Story

McDonald's all day breakfast has changed the company's fate

It now seems like McDonald’s Corporation has achieved its target of redeeming itself with an all-day breakfast offering. The company decided this fall that they will come up with breakfast items all day long in the United States. This has now become the core reason behind the company’s upswing and has helped McDonald’s come out of the slump.

Under the able leadership of the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Steve Easterbrook who took over the company in March has improved their comparable store slaes. This means that the sales happening at restaurants open at least once in a year. Moreover, it is also rising on the year earlier level for the first time ever in FY13.

As a result the McDonald’s stocks have soared by 25% since August with significant highs. Apparently in the Dow Jones industrial average the stocks are being ranked as top performing according to the industry average.

Apart from the all-day breakfast, the CEO has pushed the company to streamline the menu and has also emphasized on the need of making the quality of chicken sandwiches, hamburger and other items better. The company has also been asked to overcome the bureaucratic nature and improve its presence on digital media.

Irrespective of the fact the market presence of McDonalds is enormous and has stable brand identity, Mr. Steve Easterbook mentioned to investors during the meeting last month, "no business or brand has a divine right to succeed.”

"The plain fact is we were not executing to our standards," he added. "We were missing customer expectations in too many places."

The growth has been steady for the company since a decade and the company embraced a menace earlier in 2013 where the company had major rivals like Carl’s Jr. and Burger King were doing better. Moreover, the trend for gourmet burgers led to chains like Shake Shack that took the industry by a storm which allowed buyers to customize their meals as per their liking.

The company had a much cluttered menu that affected their surface and several scandal regarding the meat used in their products also tinted their image.

Hence now, an all day breakfast has turned out to be a game changer for the company which will help them to restore their image and build their credibility once again. The company now just needs to continue with its efforts and come up with better and innovative offerings that change the game for them completely making them the kings once again.

McDonald's To Launches All Day Breakfast Menu In Australia

After US, all day breakfast paves its way in Melbourne.

McDonald's Corporation is all geared up to extend its all day breakfast plans in Australia. The company has launched all day breakfast in Melbourne and soon wishes to extend it to other Australian cities.

This comes as no surprise since the company has already brought all day breakfast in the United States. At all McDonald's outlets in the United States, the cut off time has finally been removed and now the items are available round the clock for all those fans that want to get access to the breakfast items all day long. The concept has become extremely successful in the United States and is now being implemented in Australia as well.

The capital of Australia is Melbourne where the all day breakfast concept has been implemented. The company now has plans to extend the offering to other cities in the times to come. Initially the breakfast cut off time was 10:30 am after which the company used to retail the regular McDonald's menu. However there was a popular demand that the items to be made available throughout the day for all those who wanted to get their hands on the scrumptious hash browns at all times.

This is the first city where the all day breakfast menu is being served, but the company has already revealed its plans to offer the same promotion in Sydney during New Years.

The company has highlighted that this offer is for a limited time. However, they have not really specified the duration of the promotion. A disclaimer was published on the Twitter page by a user named @maccas that stated, "Soon to be available for selected breakfast items, at participating restaurants for a limited time."

This clearly indicates that the company is trying its best to redeem itself and bolster operations across the globe. Mr. Steve Easterbrook, the Chief Executive Officer of the company is trying its best to stir in revenues and bring the company to stability. The recent aggressive measures taken by the company are a sign that they are trying very hard to regain stability. However, things are not really in their favor since there are several lawsuits and organizational shortcomings that are causing them to stumble.

Hence the company needs to continue with innovation so that they can continue to satisfy the consumers. Moreover, it also needs to overcome the ill name associated to them so that they have a positive valuation in the eyes of analysts and investors. We hope that the Australian market embraces the all day breakfast with warmth.
