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
thou&ht best to &et the uestionnaire filled by personally inter(ie*in& the people eatin&2

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

palates to prefer *hat it considers richer# more (aried and more nourishin& tastes of fresh
local in&redients har(ested in season
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
to,enistic and commercial measure# rather than an appropriate reaction to ethical
concerns about the *orld ecolo&y and peoplePs health. 3cDonaldPs has announced that in
3arch of +?# the chain *ill include nutritional information on the pac,a&in& of all of
its products
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. $n addition# its predictability
can be reassurin& to a hun&ry person in a hurry or far from home.
;orld o(er# American and American2style fast food outlets ha(e been popular for their
uality# customer ser(ice and no(elty. 3any consumers nonetheless see them as symbols
of the *ealth# pro&ress and *ell2ordered openness of ;estern society and therefore
become trendy attractions in many cities around the *orld# particularly amon& youn&erpeople *ith more (aried tastes
Critici$m$- ecause of its con(enience# fast food is popular and commercially successful
in most modern societies# but it is often criticied for ha(in& the follo*in& shortcomin&s:
3any popular fast2food menu items are unhealthy# and e)cessi(e consumption
can lead to obesity
E)ploitati(e ad(ertisin& and mar,etin& are used# especially directed at
children !*hich can ha(e an ad(erse effect on their eatin& habits and health"

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&
acceptance locally and blendin& into the $ndian culture pro(ed difficult.
3cDonaldFs be&an to loo, at the $ndian mar,et sometime in 6>># *hen its e)ecuti(es
started ma,in& e)ploratory trips. y 6>>5# some international suppliers of 3cDonaldFs
had (isited $ndia to identify local partners. 3eetin&s *ith a&riculturists *ere conducted
*ith a (ie* to set up a supply chain. /inally# all this fructified *hen a 7:7 joint (enture

that could not remain uniue. 8ther fast food chains be&an to adopt the same Pfast and
clean ser(iceP formula# and soon it *asnPt a distin&uishin& feature of 3cDonaldPs
anymore.
The entry of entuc,y /ried %hic,en !/%" *as &reeted *ith protests of farmers#
consumers# doctors and en(ironmentalists. The fast food chain# *hich initially planned to
set up 0 restaurants by 6>>9# *as not able to do so# as its re(enues did not pic, up. $n
early 6>>9# /% be&an to in(esti&ate *hole issue more closely. Their findin&s re(ealed
that /% *as percei(ed as a restaurant ser(in& only chic,en.
$ndian families *anted more (ariety# and the impression that /% had only one item on
its menu# didnFt enhance its appeal. 3oreo(er# /% *as also thou&ht to be e)pensi(e.
/%Fs failure *as also partly attributed to certain dra*bac,s in the messa&e it sent out to
consumers about its positionin&. $t *anted to position itself as a family restaurant and not
as a teena&e han&out. ut accordin& to analysts# the family restaurantF positionin& didnFt
come clearly in its communication. %onsumers sa* it as a fast food joint specialiin& in a
