Whether you’ve had a quick meal, a drive-thru order or just seen iconic golden arches, everyone knows about McDonald’s. A global fast-food giant, has been serving millions of customers daily for decades. Renowned for its iconic golden arches logo and signature menu items like Big Macs and French fries, McDonald's has successfully established itself as a cultural phenomenon.

Aside from feeding millions around the globe, just like any other company, McDonald’s also has a complex system that ensures the smooth running of different in-company operations. 

‍

In its early days, as a family-owned business, it relied on traditional, manual methods. Paper checklists, handwritten reports, and manual data entry were the norm. However, as the company expanded and operations grew more complex, it became clear that a more efficient system was needed.

‍

What issues did McDonalds face before Formaloo?

Traditionally, McDonald’s relied on manual processes for various aspects of its business, from human resources (HR) and health and safety (HSE) to daily operational tasks and sanitary checklists. These manual methods were often time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient.

‍

‍

HR processes, such as employee onboarding, training, and performance management, were hindered by paperwork and manual record-keeping. Health and safety protocols, crucial for maintaining high standards, were challenging to enforce and monitor effectively. Daily operational checklists and sanitary checklists, essential for ensuring food quality and customer satisfaction, were often overlooked or incomplete. 

‍

Additionally, generating accurate and timely reports on various metrics, such as sales, labor costs, and customer feedback, was a laborious task. These inefficiencies not only impacted operational efficiency but also posed risks to food safety, employee well-being, and overall brand reputation.

‍

Building upon the challenges outlined above, McDonald's faced significant obstacles in maintaining consistency across its thousands of global franchises. Ensuring adherence to standardized operating procedures, from food preparation to customer service, was a complex task. Manual data collection and analysis made it difficult to identify trends, measure performance, and make data-driven decisions. Moreover, the lack of real-time insights into operational metrics hindered timely responses to issues and opportunities.

‍

To address these challenges and drive operational excellence, McDonald's sought a digital solution that could streamline processes, improve efficiency, and enhance data-driven decision-making.
