If we put our people first, they are able to put the customers first. We do care about the brand, and we care about giving customers in the community a consistent and solid McDonald’s experience. It’s a win-win at the end of the day.” I believe in the brand. We want to hear from them if they do have a good experience. “We want to hear from them if they don’t have a good experience. Changes to McDonald’s have included putting in a new lobby, a new roof, new HVAC, air conditioning, new menu boards, updated technology, and new kiosks, as well as a new shake machine, Jeff said. I stayed in a hotel for three months out in Cheektowaga, and I worked the restaurant every day for nine months. As much as we want to fix it as fast as possible, as new owners, we can only do so much. They look at all of these different things that are going on and they say, now that we’ve decided to stay here, let’s do something for the community and put money into this restaurant.” They were in the process of building their business when they purchased the store. So, when an opportunity came up in March 2021 for the couple to purchase a store in Western New York, they took it.

Why Did McDonald's McPizza End Up In Failure? - The Daily Meal (The Daily Meal)

McDonald's is really great at selling beef, chicken, and potatoes, but the fast-food giant struggled a great deal when it tried to sell pizza in the '80s.

McDonald's promise of fast and hot pizza didn't seem to hold water in the real world, and as customers left with bags of burgers and fries, McPizza customers were stuck waiting. In fact, it's even stated that the wait times became so long that customers were told to wait in their cars and their pizza would be brought out to them. Even in today's world of rising costs and inflation, you can get a cheeseburger and fries for only a couple bucks. It was a case of people wanting more bang for their buck. It is this focus on quick service that made the McPizza a bit of a challenge to fully implement in a normal McDonald's store. McDonald's was so devoted to this plan that the company spent large amounts of time (and most importantly, money) developing specialized ovens designed to cook pizza as fast as possible. Why spend $10 on a pizza when you could spend that same amount of money on some burgers, a lot of fries, and some McNuggets for everyone? [The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/1989/09/20/business/mcdonald-s-hopes-pizza-will-be-the-next-mchit.html) tells us, a standard 14-inch pie clocks in at around $5.80, while the larger pizza would come in at somewhere at $9 or $10 dollars. This meant that, while other customers would be in and out of the store in just a few minutes, there would be a group of people still waiting for their food, causing a bit of a backup. If that was the case, then, how could the McPizza fail? Speedy and efficient service is part of what makes McDonald's so successful. [McDonald's](https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/12-things-you-didnt-know-about-mcdonalds-gallery/) serves three main menu items: beef, chicken, and potatoes.

[McDonald's employees](https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2022/dec/23/mcdonalds-automated-workers-fort-worth-texas) across the country earn less than $15/hour, which is at the low end of the scale of what most people consider to be a living wage. "I am immensely proud to have this new restaurant concept serving our customers in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex." Many people are upset by the fact that McDonald's would rather invest their money into the costly operation of automating their stores instead of paying their workers a living wage. Workers need to prepare for a future where fewer jobs are available to less people. This automated McDonald's is a test to see how well it would work for the restaurant to expand the use of robotic machinery to take over certain jobs that humans used to perform. The restaurant itself is much smaller than most and is built for people who want to place an order and eat at home or on the go instead of the traditional dine-in model with which most customers are familiar. "I'm not giving my money to robots," There are also kiosks, where customers can place their orders to go, and a pick-up shelf for orders. "I'm not for it." "Well there goes millions of jobs," said one commenter, while another added: "Honestly if they go through with this I'll just boycott McDonald's, their food's mid at best anyway." For decades, people all across the world have memories of visiting their local McDonald's Restaurant and being greeted with a smile by an employee who would help them place their order. Many people have mixed feelings about McDonald's turning automated.
