Kempczinski said that after the Dollar Menu was retired, McDonald&#8217;s failed to be as competitive as it needed to be on prices. It has since righted itself with the McPick 2 and beverage deals, and it plans to roll out a new value menu with items priced at $1, $2, and $3 in early 2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Still, the fact that the company&#8217;s game plan isn&#8217;t to win, but merely not to lose, is pretty remarkable. McDonald&#8217;s is no longer the home of the Dollar Menu \u2014 it&#8217;s home of the $1, $2, and $3 menu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speed has also been de-emphasized.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the &#8220;experience of tomorrow&#8221; redesign \u2014 which includes adding ordering kiosks and table service to locations \u2014 it&#8217;s taking workers longer to deliver orders. According to executives, the redesigned locations take about five seconds longer on each order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Certainly as the crew in restaurants get more experience in whatever the initiative is, we expect to claw most, if not all, of that back over time,&#8221; Kempczinski said. &#8220;When you look at the Experience of the Future &#8230; you start introducing all sorts of new ways for the customer to interact with the brand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Basically, executives believe that not everyone who visits McDonald&#8217;s wants speedy service.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We want to be providing faster service for those customers that really want fast service,&#8221; CEO Steve Easterbrook said. &#8220;At the same time, not everyone wants to be rushed, and, therefore, we&#8217;re providing more alternatives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Tuesday, the fast-food chain reported that sales at stores in the US open for at least one year rose 4.1%. Analysts had forecast 3.4% growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the third quarter in a row that McDonald&#8217;s US comparable sales have grown, and the ninth quarter of global comparable sales growth for the chain. Over the last two years, same-store sales have increased 5.4% in the US, according to UBS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We&#8217;re building a better McDonald&#8217;s and winning back customers with great tasting food, compelling value, and an enhanced experience,&#8221; Easterbrook said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">McDonald&#8217;s executives have aggressively pushed the idea that it is an evolving chain. Now, the company is betting its future on evolving beyond aspects of the fast-food industry that have restricted it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Popular-Technologies-Sintel-Systems-Point-Of-Sale-Drive-Thru-Online-Delivery-1024x512.png\" alt=\"Popular-Technologies-Sintel-Systems-Point-Of-Sale-Drive-Thru-Online-Delivery\" width=\"749\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sintel Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sintel Systems is a leading direct and single-source global POS provider, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/point-of-sale\/food-service\/fast-food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fast food<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/point-of-sale\/food-service\/fast-food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QSR <\/a>solutions that cannot be rivaled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not only does Sintel Systems provide complete POS systems, including top-grade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/our-hardware\/5i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hardware<\/a>, professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/general-software-demo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">software<\/a>, all-inclusive technical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support<\/a>, replacement warranty and embedded merchant account services, but all the critical features and technologies restaurants need to compete in the modern market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whether customers are ordering in the restaurant, by phone, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/online-ordering-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online<\/a> or in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/drive-thru\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drive-thru<\/a>, a Sintel System will accept the order which can be sent to a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/kitchen-display-system-kds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kitchen display system<\/a>, allowing for an organized and speedy operation, with orders available for dine-in, take-out, delivery or drive-thru.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To learn more about how Sintel Systems can boost your business, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/free-demo-quote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact us<\/a> today for a live online demo or to speak with a specialist.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u7533\u3057\u8a33\u3042\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3001\u3053\u306e\u30b3\u30f3\u30c6\u30f3\u30c4\u306f\u305f\u3060\u4eca\u3000English\u3000\u306e\u307f\u3067\u3059\u3002 For the sake of viewer convenience, the content is shown below in the alter [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-uncategorized","7":"czr-hentry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sintelsystemspos.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sintelsystemspos.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sintelsystemspos.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sintelsystemspos.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sintelsystemspos.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3294"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sintelsystemspos.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3296,"href":"https:\/\/sintelsystemspos.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3294\/revisions\/3296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sintelsystemspos.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sintelsystemspos.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sintelsystemspos.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
