McDonald's and KFC, as the world's leading catering enterprises, are successful because they don't have the so-called mysterious formula! All raw materials have strict SOP after purchasing, transporting, storing, processing and selling to customers, so that almost every store has the same taste and the food quality is guaranteed.
McDonald's and KFC, a large international chain, is no longer an ordinary restaurant, and the taste may be much worse after the chef leaves. Basically, the same product has the same taste in any region. Normally, there are only processes, and you can make the same taste just by operating according to the process specifications. However, if you want to copy McDonald's and KFC, it will cost a certain amount, and the machines of McDonald's and KFC and the operational processes of each post will need to be implemented.
KFC and McDonald's both originated from the United States, and it was a period when American industrialization was in full swing. The background of the times created a new business model, that is, industrialization, standardization and scale, which subverted the traditional catering industry. In the past, whether in Europe or other parts of the world, the catering industry focused on the food itself and formed its own characteristics by improving the formula and taste, such as several major cuisines in China and famous French dishes. Every employee, as long as they follow the standard operating procedures, can make food with exactly the same taste, and there is almost no difference. For example, under what conditions should French fries be thawed, fried in oil at what temperature for a few minutes, for example, hamburger patties should be baked for a few minutes, and how much each sauce should be put in. In addition, there is no need to disclose that KFC and McDonald's have got more than just the taste today. After all, where is the brand effect and value of the company? You can't say that kung pao chicken is a five-star chef, even if it tastes the same, because it is in it, not because of what it is.
Nowadays, catering enterprises are equipped with a central kitchen, a big headquarters ingredient, and then it is sent to the whole country or even the whole world. What really reaches the hands of the producer may all be semi-finished products. All he has to do is heat and set the plate. And even those who come into contact with the formula can't fully understand the secrets because of the division of labor, and now the work is carefully divided. Now, for example, KFC, McDonald's, Blue Frog and other enterprises are all in this production mode.
