- 1. I'm disappointed that you did not answer my question properly and instead pushed me on to a differnt answer. The answer you pushed me towards has annoyed me more with this quote. "Other vegetarian options currently available include the French Fires, Hash browns, Salads, Fruit Bags, Apple Pies, Carrot Sticks and milkshakes." The fact that you say the vegetarian options you offer are side portions or extras to what non vegetarians can get with their meals.

Although at its heart, McDonald’s primary business will always be in burgers, it goes without saying that customers are very important to the company, and McDonald's works hard to accommodate them all as best as it possibly can, including vegetarians. However the company recognises there is always room for improvement and in view of this suggests you should get in touch with the Customer Services Team to log your enthusiasm for more vegetarian options. You can get in touch with them by email using the ‘Contact Us’ link at www.mcdonalds.co.uk - the team will be happy to hear your suggestions.

Thank you for your interest in McDonald’s franchises. Unfortunately, here in the UK we only deal with franchises for the UK. The USA deal with franchises both at home and abroad and your best course of action would be through the US corporate website. The web address is www.mcdonalds.com select the country as USA then go into corporate - franchising - international opportunities. Once again thank you for your enquiry and we wish you every success for the future.

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 5. My daughter has not had any shifts in the last 10 weeks. She phoned as was told that her availability must have been lost. A few weeks later and still no shifts she spoke with the manager who told her it was quiet and she would have shifts in Feb. The shifts are up for Feb. and still nothing. Friends from school are still getting shifts and new staff have started. Is this normal practice and do McDonalds not have minimum contracted hours?

Thank you for your interest in McDonald’s. We place our customers at the heart of everything we do, and as part of this commitment we operate our business in an open, transparent way, providing detailed information about our business practices, agriculture and supply chain standards, as well as food and nutritional information. As a responsible business, however, we need to balance our strong desire to be as open and transparent as possible with our responsibility to run our business effectively. We do not believe that answering detailed specific requests for information from individual students is the best use of our education department’s resources, and instead we focus our efforts on providing relevant case study information which will enrich many students’ learning. Unfortunately, this does mean that we are not able to provide the information you requested. We suggest you download one of McDonald’s Student Information Packs. These have been developed after receiving many questions from students wanting to know more about the company and are designed to help address the type of questions that you may ask about the company operations.
