Why don't the employees of McDonald's and KFC leak the formula?
I worked part-time at KFC for more than half a year in college. Generally, the golden chicken nuggets, popcorn and French fries that you often eat are all fried by cashier. All semi-finished products are delivered by the headquarters. French fries tell you how many minutes to fry, and golden chicken nuggets take a few minutes. This is not a recipe. The kitchen cooks hamburgers, two pieces of bread, what is sandwiched in the first layer and then two, three and four. It's very simple, but it's difficult to cook in this semi-finished product.

Before being a Mojito girl, first add half ice cubes, then squeeze five and a half pieces of green orange juice, then squeeze a slice of lemon, and finally! ! ! Add mojito drinks, the drinks are all made of powder, so it's no use knowing. I can only tell you at last that the milk belongs to Nestle, and maybe this can go back and make a drink. Grandpa KFC's smile is for you.

As an hourly worker who once worked in KFC, I think I am qualified to answer this question. Why not reveal the formula? Because I don't know, I can't reveal it.

In fact, I have only worked in KFC for two months, but I can fry chicken and French fries. It is too simple and has no technical content. All the procedures are set. You just have to follow the prompts. Fried chicken is KFC's signature food. It is said that there are 13 mysterious ingredients, and no one in the store knows which one is 13. Chicken pieces are divided, preserved and delivered to the store in a unified way in the factory, and the store is only responsible for frying. Perhaps, some friends will say that the factory must know, so I'll tell you, the ingredients are all given to the factory by the American headquarters, and the workers are only responsible for mixing the ingredients, and no one studies what this ingredient is. However, everything is afraid of being serious. It is not difficult for people who really understand food to work out what these ingredients are with a little snack, but the proportion is wrong, which is a mile away.

As for McDonald's, I think it's needless to say, it's all the same routine.

I have worked part-time in KFC, and there is no such thing as leaking. Chicken legs, chicken wings and so on are the same as those we bought. The key lies in the ingredients, which are all finished products, and the company they are looking for processes them on their behalf. Thawing, salting, there are strict operations, and there are also strict operation methods for wrapping noodles, that is, we operate according to our own methods, and there is not much difference in frying. There is a curing table for curing. Compared with the curing table, how much curing powder is put in the raw materials is open. The key is that you don't know what the curing powder is, so just use the corresponding curing powder according to the curing table. The frying is all electrified and computer controlled. You fry French fries, put them in the frying pan, and then press the button of French fries. When the time comes, the alarm will drop, and you can just take them out. Every product is time-limited. If it can't be sold for a few hours after being fried, it will be scrapped and dumped directly. In terms of hygiene, disposable gloves must be worn, which consumes a lot in one day. Other hamburgers are all semi-finished products. Roasted chicken wings, pickled chicken wings in the oven, press the corresponding button, and call the police to take them out when the time comes. Egg tart has egg tart time. Everything is electrified, semi-automated, manually taken and put, and automatically fried. So, there is nothing confidential. You can't marinate the table for you, because you don't have marinade, and the marinade is confidential, and insiders don't know it at all. As a chef, you can go in and have a look, and the fried taste is almost the same.

For example, to fry chicken wings, first soak them in clear water for half an hour to remove the blood, then add onions, ginger, pepper, star anise and pepper, and put Chili noodles, salt, monosodium glutamate and chicken essence in spicy food, and put some clear water, just don't pass the chicken wings. Stir well and marinate for half an hour and an hour.

Fry, take out the chicken wings, control the moisture, wrap them with flour (they are special flour, one kind of flour, which can be used in ordinary household flour), put the wrapped chicken wings in a colander or a leaky box, put them in water, and all the flour can be dipped in water. Take them out and control the water, then wrap them in flour again, and fry them in a pot, which takes about five and a half minutes, and can be cut with a knife. After going abroad, it looks the same as KFC, and its taste and taste are similar. If you can't do it, you can trust me privately and teach you in detail.

Why can KFC and McDonald's become the world's leading catering enterprises?

Why isn't there a global chain restaurant like KFC and McDonald's in China?

Why are the top names in the ranking of catering enterprises in China hot pot?

Connecting the answers to these three questions is the reason!

McDonald's and KFC, as the world's leading catering enterprises, have a very important reason for their success, that is, they have no 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.

So what is SOP? Chinese translation is called "standard operating procedure". That is to say, in McDonald's and KFC, there are very standard operating rules in every link and every operation detail. Therefore, a new employee can work in McDonald's and KFC only after a period of training, and does not need a chef's certificate or any experience.

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.

It is also for this reason that McDonald's and KFC can open so many stores in so many countries around the world and are welcomed by so many customers. Maybe the food is not exquisite enough, but fortunately, the consistency of taste is very strong.

Besides, the top catering enterprises in China are Haidilao, Huang Jihuang, Xiabu Xiabu, Xiaolongkan and other hot pots. The reason is actually the same as McDonald's and KFC, because hot pots can almost replicate the same taste in different stores only by configuring standard bottom materials, dipping materials and fresh ingredients. Only in this way can we expand our stores quickly and develop rapidly.

The traditional Chinese food, which is very popular with chefs in personal influence, may be the same chain restaurant. Because of the different chefs, the taste may be completely different. Some restaurants make it to the taste of some people, but another restaurant does not. It depends heavily on the personal experience of chefs, so it is very difficult to achieve standardization, and naturally it is difficult to expand, and there may even be a secret formula mentioned by the subject.

Because there is no formula, all of them are semi-finished products. You just have to follow the operation steps. I have a friend who works as a kitchen in a chain western restaurant company. Many things in their company are semi-finished products sent by the distribution center, such as steak, which can be served in a few minutes after it is cooked. There's nothing to reveal like these ordinary metropolises that haven't tasted the kitchen, because you don't know the formula.

Of course, those great gods who know what seasoning to put just by trying it will not be discussed here.

Thank you.

The taste is actually average, and it can only be a simple meal, which is not as healthy as Chinese food. However, there are a few things that Chinese food can't do. The first standard taste price is uniform. No matter whether it's 5a scenic spot or 8-line city, it's the same taste and the same price. You should know that it's normal for a bottle of Nongfu Spring in 5a scenic spot to sell 3-5 yuan! The second is brand trust. As I said earlier, Chinese food is healthier, but the premise is that unqualified raw materials are not used. However, Kenmai's brand trust can make people feel more at ease. Would you like to choose Chinese food with the risk of hogwash oil and swine fever, or choose fried junk food with high sugar content? After all, I eat it occasionally, so I choose these fast foods when I can't find Chinese food that I think is safe.

Without the formula, McDonald's and KFC, a large international chain company, is no longer an ordinary restaurant. When the chef leaves, the taste may be much worse. The same product basically keeps 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. But if you want to copy McDonald's and KFC, you must first have costs. The machines of McDonald's and KFC and the operational processes of each position need a certain cost to execute. Then there are McDonald's KFC products. Bread and meat sauces are all frozen products prepared by suppliers. Simply put, they only need to be heated. Why are Wallace and other fast foods eaten outside different from McDonald's KFC? The main reason is that the cost of materials is not enough, and perhaps some products are only supplied to McDonald's KFC. For example, the bread of McDonald's is supplied by Garton and the milk is supplied by Vita. These are the most important aspects. Basically, the meat does not need to be prepared by itself in the store, and the spicy chicken wings of McDonald's need some preparation work. Generally speaking, if you can't get the formula, it's useless to get it. Without this cost, a top 500 enterprise will not lose anything because any grass-roots employees leave.

This question is quite amateur, and the subject should be that he has never worked in KFC or McDonald's.

I once worked as a part-time time waiter in KFC for two years when I was a student, so I have a certain say in this.

KFC's products are all semi-finished, that is, they have been marinated when the trucks are delivered, including sliced meat for hamburgers, spicy wings, roasted wings, popcorn and so on. Where do you know its formula?

At present, almost all domestic chain restaurants, such as KFC, McDonald's and Auntie Dumplings, operate in this way, which has become a normal state in the industry. First, it is necessary to prevent the leakage of unique recipes and cause unnecessary losses to enterprises. Second, it takes time to marinate in order to shorten the workflow. KFC is a fast food enterprise, and it is also unrealistic to marinate in stores.

Both KFC and McDonald's 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.

KFC and McDonald's have turned catering into a big factory or industrial chain, and every link is standardized operation. For example, from the beginning of raw material procurement, including meat products, vegetables, fruits, beverages, bread, milk and tableware, detailed technical indicators have been formulated, and then they are sent to various stores through a perfect supply chain. The stores receive semi-finished products, and the staff only need to process the food according to the prescribed procedures. If new food varieties are added, it belongs to special research and development.

It can be seen from the operation mode of KFC and McDonald's that no matter which link of the staff is actually a worker on the assembly line, it is only necessary to operate in strict accordance with the procedures. The work of KFC and McDonald's does not require too much technical content. In the United States, McDonald's employees have been interpreted as low-end jobs with no future, which has caused an uproar in society, but after all, most of them are part-time jobs, mainly engaged by college students.

Therefore, KFC and McDonald's have no formula to leak.

However, we can learn from the business models of KFC and McDonald's, such as management system, standardization, supply chain management, etc. Especially when we first entered China, China's catering industry imitated and learned a lot, and hired managers of KFC and McDonald's with high salaries, which can be said to have profoundly affected the catering industry in China.

McDonald's KFC has no unique formula. People just start early, have a wide face, and choose the best foundation where to open a shop.
