    PREFACE

    The /ast /ood phenomenon has finally come of a&e in $ndia. Accordin& to the findin&s of

    the latest online sur(ey from A%Nielsen# o(er @C of urban $ndians consumes food from

    ta,e2a*ay restaurants once a month or more freuently. 8f these 0@C of adult $ndian

    population do so at least once a *ee,. This ma,es $ndia one of the top 6 countries

    amon&st the +9 sur(eyed# in terms of freuency of fast food consumption. The incidence

    of /ast /ood consumption in urban $ndia is acceleratin& much faster than most people

    anticipated. %han&in& lifestyles# an altered (ie* to*ards out2of2home meals# a

    *illin&ness to spend and# most importantly# the urban $ndian acuirin& a more &lobal

    paletteF ha(e catalyed its consumption.

    As fast food consumption mo(es from bein& an impulse led occurrence to a part of

    e(eryday life# eatin& habits are chan&in& rapidly. ;hile eatin& fast food may ha(e been

    uncharacteristic earlier# almost a third of urban $ndians no* claim to opt for fast food

    e(en for brea,fast. As the rapid pace of an urban lifestyle e)erts its demands# fast food

    *ill probably find itself the default choice. This *ill see an increasin& proportion of in2

    home food and be(era&e consumption mi&ratin& outdoors.

    The fast food business has become e(er more competiti(e# *ith (arious multinational fast

    food chain operators e)pandin& into ne* &eo&raphies daily# alon& *ith the emer&ence of

    ne* players# ne* types of cuisines and ne* menu choices.

    4idin& on the consistently impressi(e performance of the past one decade# &lobal food

    retailin& major umH 4estaurants $nternational is no* aimin& really bi& in $ndia. After

    cloc,in& 5C &ro*th durin& the past fi(e years# dri(en by the massi(e success of itsfla&ship brand -ia 1ut here# um *ants to lo& in a massi(e ei&ht2fold &ro*th in the

    ne)t decade.

    umFs decade lon& affair *ith $ndia *ent throu&h some teethin& problems# most notably

    the ill2fated launch of /% in 6>>7 in an&alore. The launch &ot mired in a contro(ersy#

    but the company has mana&ed to put that behind and has been recordin& an impressi(e

    double di&it &ro*th since then# and today# o(er 6.@ la,h people *al, into /% outlets

    across the country e(ery *ee,. A major part of the $ndia strate&y is the allocation of clear

    roles to -ia 1ut and /% to deli(er on the (ision. /% *ill be the mass brand *ith

    focus on tasty food. And to ma,e this possible a better understandin& of /% consumers

    *as reuired.

    rands ha(e personalities that can scream uality# &reat taste# real (alue or other

    attributes. Throu&h mar,etin& and sales techniues# it is possible to impro(e and chan&e

    consumersF perceptions of a brand. no*in& ho* consumers (ie* your brand is critical

    to de(elopin& the brand throu&h a more effecti(e mar,etin& and promotion strate&ies.

    The study *as underta,en to &enerate information on the lines of

    ;ho is buyin& my brand I cate&ory

    ;ho are the hea(y cate&ory buyers

    ;hy do consumers choose my brand

    Do consumers understand *hat my brand stands for

    1o* do they spend money on eatin&2 outJ

    ;hat moti(ates consumer to purchase

    ;hat is my brand personality percei(ed as and ho* does it compare to the

    competition

    ;hat other cate&ories interact *ith mine# and *hich are important

    ;hat cross cate&ory opportunities are there

    1o* loyal are cate&ory buyers

    The study *as conducted in t*o phases. The first phase *as carried to profile customers

    of /% and 3c DonaldFs. The study *as conducted at /% and 3cDonaldFs outlets in

    Noida and 4ajouri and co(ered 6 4espondents for each. Buestionnaire included

    demo&raphic profile and beha(ior2based profile mainly in for of open2ended uestions.

    After preparin& the uestionnaire and selectin& the respondents for the sur(ey# it *as

    The sur(ey *as an eye opener of sorts in many respects as the a&ency &ot many (aluable

    insi&hts from the e)tensi(e research carried out.

    ;e came to ,no* that the present ,ey customers are youn& adults either e)ecuti(es or

    students *ho come *ith friends in &roups of + to 7. The store mainly attracts customers

    from limited nei&hborin& areas. The freuency of eatin& out is (ery hi&h amon& /%

    consumers most of *ho are non2(e&etarians. The most important reasons bein& to catch2

    up *ith friendsK and bein& in the areaK. Data also indicates that there is a hi&h

    inclination of /% consumers to also (isit 3c DonaldFs *hile (ery less inclination of 3c

    DonaldFs consumers to (isit /%

    The second phase *as carried out *as an $n2store e)ercise *ith a sample sie of +@

    respondents and focused on ? main products of /% and understandin& of their

    consumers. The products *ere %hana %runch Snac,er# %hic,en %runch Snac,er# 1ot L

    %rispy %hic,en# 8ri&inal 4ecipe# Min&er ur&er and %hic,en in a uc,et. The ey

    findin&s *ere the ey tar&et se&ment for each product# the product as it stands for in

    minds of people# the day part and occasion *hen it is consumed and also the need states

    it satisfies. These further helped de(ise a positionin& strate&y for each of these products

    so as to &i(e them a personality of their o*n *hich *ill stand out in customers minds the

    moment they thin, of food.

    The complete analysis and other results are included in this report. $t *as an enrichin&

    e)perience and $ *as able to learn a lot from the project. $t impro(ed my understandin&

    of (arious concepts and the most (aluable input *as the ability to inte&rate classroom

    learnin& *ith on2field learnin&. The fast food industry is all set to &ro* at a scorchin&

    pace and it is an honor to be in(ol(ed *ith an $nternational -layer in that se&ment and do

    this project on their ad2a&encyFs behalf.

    *NTRODUCT*ON

    Fa$t Food: A fast2food restaurant is characteried both by food *hich is supplied uic,ly

    after orderin and by minimal ser(ice. 8ften this food is referred to as a$t ood. $n

    response to increasin& bac,lash a&ainst Oa$t oodO# the industry has been tryin& to mo(e

    the public a*ay from that term o(er the past fi(e years# shiftin& to the term uic, ser(ice

    restaurant !BS4 for short". %onsumers still refer to the restaurants as fast2food restaurants

    despite the industryPs efforts to chan&e them

    The food in these restaurants is often coo,ed in bul, in ad(ance and ,ept cold# or

    reheated to order. 3any fast2food restaurants are part of restaurant chains or franchise

    operations# *hich ship standardied foodstuffs to each restaurant from central locations.

    There are also simpler fast2food outlets# such as stands or ,ios,s# *hich may or may not

    pro(ide shelter or chairs for customers

    2i$tor,- Althou&h fast2food restaurants are often seen as a mar, of modern technolo&ical

    culture# the idea of ready2coo,ed food to &o is as old as cities themsel(es# *ith uniue

    (ariations from culture to culture. Ancient 4oman cities had bread2and2oli(e stands# East

    Asian cultures feature noodle shops. /lat bread and falafel are ubiuitous in the 3iddle

    East.

    The modern history of fast food in America is connected *ith the history of the

    hambur&er# as the earliest fast2food outlets sold hambur&ers as their primary product. The

    American company ;hite %astle is &enerally credited *ith openin& the first fast2foodoutlet in 6>+6# sellin& hambur&ers for fi(e cents apiece.

    Food Preparation- The con(enience of traditional street food around the *orld# lies in

    ser(in& one or t*o basic in&redients that can be coo,ed in batches and ser(ed uic,ly on

    the spot. 3odern commercial fast food# by contrast# is often hi&hly processed and

    prepared in an industrial fashion# i.e.# on a lar&e scale *ith standard in&redients and

    standardied coo,in& and production methods. $t is usually rapidly ser(ed in cartons or

    ba&s or in a plastic *rappin in a fashion *hich minimies cost. $n most fast food

    operations# menu items are &enerally made from processed in&redients prepared at a

    central supply facility and then shipped to indi(idual outlets *here they are reheated#

    coo,ed !usually by micro*a(e or deep2fryin&" or assembled in a short amount of time.

    This process ensures uality and consistency of product# but is also the ,ey to bein& able

    Some of the lar&e fast2food chains are be&innin& to incorporate healthier alternati(es in

    their menu# e.&.# salads and fresh fruit. 1o*e(er# some people see these mo(es as a

    Con$umer appeal- /ast2food outlets ha(e become popular *ith consumers for se(eral

    reasons. 8ne is that throu&h economies of scale in purchasin& and producin& food# these

    companies can deli(er food to consumers at a (ery lo* cost. $n addition# its predictability

    can be reassurin& to a hun&ry person in a hurry or far from home.

    ;orld o(er# American and American2style fast food outlets ha(e been popular for their

    INDIAN FAST FOOD INDUSTRY- OVERVIEW

    $n the mid 6>>s# a spate of &lobal fast food chains entered $ndia hopin& to capture a part

    of $ndian fast food se&ment. ut they found it difficult to establish themsel(es. Gainin&
