Overview.
McDonald's - A Global Phenomenon.
McDonald's opened its doors in India in October 1996. Ever since then, our family
restaurants in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Ludhiana, Jaipur, Noida
Faridabad, Doraha, Manesar and Gurgaon have proceeded to demonstrate, much to
the delight of all our customers, what the McDonald's experience is all about.
Our first restaurant opened on 15th April 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois, U.S.A. Almost
50 years down the line, we are the world's largest food service system with more
than 30,000 restaurants in 100 countries, serving more than 46 million customers
every day. Click here for more information on the history of McDonald’s.

Locally Owned.
McDonald’s in India is a 50-50 joint venture partnership between McDonald’s
Corporation [USA] and two Indian businessmen. Amit Jatia’s company Hardcastle
Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. owns and operates McDonald's restaurants in Western India.
While Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt. Ltd headed by Vikram Bakshi owns and
operates the Northern operations.
Amit Jatia and Vikram Bakshi are like-minded visionaries who share McDonald's
complete commitment to Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value (QSC&V). Having
signed their joint-venture agreements with McDonald's in April 1995, they trained
extensively, along with their Indian management team, in McDonald's restaurants in
Indonesia and the U.S.A. before opening the first McDonald’s restaurant in India.

Respect for local culture.


McDonald's India has developed a special menu with vegetarian selections to suit
Indian tastes and preferences. McDonald's does not offer any beef or pork items in
India. Only the freshest chicken, fish and vegetable products find their way into our
Indian restaurants.
In addition, we've re-formulated some of our products using spices favoured by
Indians. Among these are McVeggie™ burger, McAloo Tikki™ burger, Veg. Pizza
McPuff™ and Chicken McGrill™ burger. We've also created eggless sandwich sauces
for our vegetarian customers. Even our soft serves and McShakes™ are egg-less,
offering a larger variety to our vegetarian consumers.

International Standards.
McDonald's India's local suppliers provide us with the highest quality, freshest
ingredients. Complete adherence to the Indian Government regulations on food,
health and hygiene is ensured, while maintaining our own recognized international
standards. Fast, friendly service - the hallmark of McDonald's restaurants the world
over is the mantra we abide by.
Stringent cleaning standards ensure that all tables, chairs, highchairs and trays are
sanitised several times each hour. Such meticulous attention to cleanliness extends
beyond the lobby and kitchen to even the pavement and immediate areas outside the
restaurant.

Our Philosophy.
"We take the burger business more seriously than anyone else." When McDonald's
founder, Ray Kroc made that memorable statement, he was letting the world in on
the philosophy and secret behind McDonald's phenomenal success.
Our vision to be India’s "best" quick service restaurant experience is supported by a
set of principles and core values [McDonald’s Way]
The principles that guide us …
• Quality, Service, Cleanliness & Value - It is an unflinching McDonald's ideology
that our customers must always get quality products, served quickly and with a
smile, in a clean and pleasant environment; and all at a fair price
• We are committed to exceeding our customers' expectations in every
restaurant every time.
• We have a passion and a responsibility for enhancing and protecting the
McDonald's brand.
• We believe in a collaborative management approach, employing a mutually
respectful business philosophy,
• We will seize every opportunity to innovate and lead the industry on behalf of
our customers.

Supply Chain.
Supply Chain

Overview Cold Chain LocalSourcing Suppliers

Overview
Did you know that every year, Rs. 50,000 crore worth of food produce is wasted in
India? This is mainly because of the lack of proper infrastructure for storage and
transportation under controlled conditions. McDonald's is committed to providing
quality products while supporting other Indian businesses. And so, we spent a few
years setting up a unique Supply Chain, even before we opened our first restaurant in
India.
A Supply Chain is a network of facilities including - material flow from suppliers and
their "upstream" suppliers at all levels, transformation of materials into semi-
finished and finished products, and distribution of products to customers and their
"downstream" customers at all levels. So, raw material flows as follows: supplier -
manufacturer – distributor – retailer – consumer. Information and money flows in the
reverse direction. The balance between these 3 flows is what a Supply Chain is all
about.
When there is a balance in the finished product ordering, the Supply Chain operates
at its best. Any major fluctuation in the product ordering pattern causes excess /
fluctuating inventories, shortages / stock outs, longer lead times, higher
transportation and manufacturing costs, and mistrust between supply chain partners.
This is called the Bullwhip Effect.
Depending on the situation, the Supply Chain may include major product elements,
various suppliers, geographically dispersed activities, and both upstream and
downstream activities. It is critical to go beyond one’s immediate suppliers and
customers to encompass the entire chain, since hidden value often emerges once the
entire chain is visualized. For example, a diesel engine manufacturer may be able to
integrate a GPS locator system into its engine control system. Its immediate
customer, a heavy truck manufacturer, may see no need for this functionality.
However, the downstream customer, a trucking company with a large fleet, may be
very interested in a locator system. Understanding the value to the downstream
customer is part of the supply chain management process.

Cold Chain.
The Cold Chain is necessary to maintain the integrity of food products and retain
their freshness and nutritional value. The Cold Chain is an integral part of the
Supply Chain
Setting up the Cold Chain has involved the transfer of state-of-the-art food
processing technology by McDonald's and its international suppliers to pioneering
Indian entrepreneurs, who have now become an integral part of the Cold Chain.
The term Cold Chain describes the network for the procurement, warehousing,
transportation and retailing of food products under controlled temperatures.
McDonald’s restaurants store products to be used on a daily basis, within a
temperature range of –18ºC to 4ºC. About 52% of our food products need to be
stored under these conditions before they are used.

Local Sourcing.
McDonald's has always been committed to sourcing its requirements from local
suppliers and farmers. This assurance is rooted in the philosophy of our company's
founder, Ray Kroc. He firmly believed in mutual benefits arising from a partnership
between McDonald's and the local businesses, thus ensuring that McDonald's
commitment to growth was mirrored by that of its partners.

In keeping with this belief, we have carefully identified local Indian businesses that
take pride in satisfying customers by presenting them with the highest quality
products. Adherence to Indian Government regulations on food, health and hygiene
were a top priority.

McDonald's India today purchases more than 96% of its products and supplies from
Indian suppliers. Even our restaurants are constructed using local architects,
contractors, labour and maximum local content in materials.

The relationship between McDonald's and its Indian suppliers is mutually beneficial.
As McDonald's expands in India, the supplier gets the opportunity to expand his
business, have access to the latest in food technology, get exposure to advanced
agricultural practices and the ability to grow or to export. There are many cases of
local suppliers operating out of small towns who have benefited from their
association with McDonald's India.
Vital Links in our Cold Chain.
All suppliers adhere to Indian government regulations on food, health and hygiene
while continuously maintaining McDonald's recognised standards. As the ingredients
move from farms to processing plants to the restaurant, McDonald's Quality
Inspection Programme (QIP) carries out quality checks at over 20 different points in
the Cold Chain system. Setting up of the Cold Chain has also enabled us to cut down
on operational wastage

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a systematic approach to food


safety that emphasizes prevention of illness or presence of microbiological data
within our suppliers' facilities and our restaurants rather than its detection through
inspection. Based on HACCP guidelines, control points and critical control points for
all McDonald's major food processing plants and restaurants in India have been
identified. The HACCP verification is done at least twice in a year and certified.
