McDonalds opens first stores with no human employees
McDonalds may receive a lot of backlash, but this is a truly innovative company. First of all, the company rose to prominence for having a good product. After that, McDonalds became the first fast food restaurant to begin franchising. This is now the business model for all fast food restaurants. In addition, McDonalds was the first restaurant to branch out, having locations inside Walmart stores, and in various malls. Now, McDonalds is testing out restaurants with no employees.
McDonalds remains the most successful fast food restaurant. However, the market share they dominate has dramatically declined, over the years. Currently, McDonalds faces tough competition from Chick-Fil-A, a fast food restaurant that continues to grow. Nowadays, Chick-Fil-A locations are dominating the malls. Meanwhile, their drive thru lines are more congested than McDonalds. As a result, most of their locations have redone their parking lots to accommodate such a large demand.
McDonalds is fully aware of the issues going on with their employees. Human errors are leading to intentional altercations. So with that, plus the expenses that go into hiring people, McDonalds is testing out having locations with no employees. Over the past month, they have launched locations in Fort Worth, Texas, Denver, Colorado, and Las Vegas, Nevada with no employees. Instead, these restaurants are run entirely by robots.
