McDonald'sTM philosophy of QSCV (Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value) is the guiding force behind its service to the customers in India. Following its philosophy of being sensitive to local food and cultural preferences, India was the first country in the McDonald'sTM system where it served non-beef and non-pork products. More than 70 percent of the menu in India has been locally developed with complete segregation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian products right from the food processing plants to the point of serving the customers.
McDonald'sTM commitment to its Indian customers is evident even in development of special sauces that use local spices and chillies. The mayonnaise and all other sauces are egg-less. McDonald'sTM also pioneered the establishment of Cold Chain across India which helps maintain freshness and nutrition in every product.
McDonald'sTM regular scrumptious menu includes wide range of products like McAloo TikkiTM, Filet-O-FishTM, Spicy Range, Chicken McGrillTM, McVeggieTM, Veg Pizz a McPuffTM, Chicken Mcnuggets
®, Fries, Wraps, an assortment of Sundaes, Soft Serve and refreshing beverages such as Ice Tea & Cold Coffee with outstanding service in a vibrant and lively ambience, for which McDonald'sTM is known worldwide.
McDonald'sTM had further reinforced the branded affordability mantra via the introduction of the
Happy Price Menu which starts at Rs 25 only.
Keeping pace with the customer evolving needs McDonald'sTM also functions on models that drive convenience and create unique differentiation like McDelivery, Drive thru, Breakfast Menu, high ways and extended hours. (Currently, available in select cities)
