Executive Summary
Acting as a “mystery shopper“ we have evaluated one of the McDonalds’ retail shops. We have chosen a McDonalds retail shop by reason of its obvious success. McDonalds has got a yearly profit of approximately 5.5 billion USD by trading with fast-food.
Our evaluation shows us there is one certain reason of its success: Constancy! Customers know what they get at McDonalds, wherever they are in the world and apparently they appreciate this constancy.
Nonetheless there are some obvious Pet Peeves, which are related to the three levels of factors of a company culture. Level one describes what you obviously feel, see and hear. Level 2 is about the communication between employee and customer. Level three contains factors that are not obvious but make us like McDonalds subconsciously, is very tough to find in our outlet.
Regarding these Pet peeves and the factors of company culture we come up with three different suggestions to improve the retail store’s customer service.
1. The company can become more ecological, by producing less rubbish. Especially in order to enhance its reputation.
2. Friendlier and politer staff
3. Achieving a nicer environment in its outlets
Regarding its success it seems quite unnecessary to make some changes, but in order to keep the company’s customer service competitive little changes are recommendable.
