    Dude said Subway lmao

    Subway has been irrelevant as hell for the longest. Shake Shack and Five Guys beat them at their own game and personally after the E. Coli scare I'm a bit leery of Chipotle right now.

    You realize Subway is the number two fast food chain in the world, right?

    Shake Shack and Five Guys aren't even touching Subway overall. I'm not talking preferences here. I'd go w those two over McDonalds, as well.

    Subway is far from irrelevant.

    You're missing what I'm saying, McDonalds changing their whole way of competing to being similar to how these newer "build your own plate" guys are doing it, with healthier options, would skyrocket their sales. Changing prices or a few menu items will do nothing.

    Nah I get what you're saying. Five Guys and Shake Shack are smaller than Subway right now so obviously they're not on that level quite yet since they're 20 plus years behind; but they are also quickly chipping at their key markets (like here in NYC) to the point that nobody even looks in Subway's direction anymore. Even more so now after their ? scandal. Meanwhile you go to a Shake Shack out here and you'd be lucky to not be standing in line for more than 5 minutes.

    TBH Mickey D's following that blueprint would do nothing for their business. Not as long as their menu is overstuffed to the point that it takes people minutes to make up their minds on what they want to eat in a damn fast food joint. ? have you not read about how disastrous their "build a burger" campaign has already been? which is something that attempted exactly what you're getting at.

    Yeah. They would have to completely give their menu a facelift w much less items.

    Wendy's recently started offering a "4 for $4" meal that includes a junior bacon cheeseburger, four chicken nuggets, small fries, and a drink — all priced at $4.
    That $4 meal is GOAT.

    If they were to change to match their competitors, they'd bounce back.

    Build your own burgers/sandwiches set up like Chipotle or Subway

    Fresh, never frozen beef
    Fresh tomatoes, lettuce etc
    Fresh baked buns
    Better oil for their fries
    More cheese seletions

    Something like that would help them than these ? tactics

    This is good imo...i hear yall about five guys and shake shack (i miss in and out too)...but if im eating a greasy cheeseburger im not always gonna spend 8 bucks for a it...

    if i can get a mcchicken and a small fry for a quick lunch with a drink for 3 dollars its tough to beat that...i already know im not gettin some gourmet meal but im gettin exactly what i pay for

    All of these fast food companies are making a mad dash for stability. Companies like Chipotle and whole foods have made it easier for consumers to make smarter, healthier choices when it comes to food.

    Yeah but would you rather spend 5 dollars on something that's at worst a low rent diner burger or 5 bucks on mystery meat with "special sauce"? I know where my money would go.
