What time does McDonald’s serve breakfast? Many people believe the answer is anytime, anywhere. That may very well be true, however, there is one fast food restaurant that serves breakfast only on the weekends. It is in fact, one of the rare exceptions to the rule.
How can a burger joint have only one menu item for breakfast? Simple, they serve breakfast on the weekends only when they feature an all day long special menu. On weekdays, when the restaurant remains closed most of the time, the only menu they have is the regular menu items plus a couple special offerings. The regular menu items most people eat at any other burger joint during the week include burgers, French fries, and the like.
But what time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast every day? On Saturday mornings, that is when the drive-through opens and all breakfast menus are switched to the weekend breakfast menu. For those of you who enjoy ordering your meal through a drive-through, you would not even know the difference unless you asked.
So what time does McDonald’s serve burgers and hotdogs every time you order a Big Mac? About 10 a.m. That is when the fast food chain turns over its earnings from its many restaurants to the parent company, which was founded in 1955. Since then, the world has known that McDonald’s is a big mac, especially when it comes to the advertising dollars it spreads around. In fact, the advertising costs alone are what helps drive up the sales volume for this popular burger.
The reason behind the different start and closing times is to spread out the customers who might be coming in late to eat before the breakfast ends. If there are a lot of people in a particular area eating at the same time, it can cause traffic congestion, which affects sales. Also, most people love to eat their burgers and hotdogs right when they get home from work. Thus, if the burgers and hot dogs are available only for sale from 11am to 3am, the chances of people staying for dinner increases as well. So the early bird gets the worm.
When did the change in opening times take place? It seems that the shift in opening times is related to the seasonal variation in demand for the Big Mac. During the warmer months, people are willing to haggle over a Big Mac as opposed to an onion ring and fries. In the winter, people are more willing to go for the bacon cheeseburger and maple waffle on the regular menu and the breakfast menu was shifted around to accommodate this trend.
Why has the McDonald’s Breakfast menu changed so much in recent years? There could be many reasons behind it. One possibility is the competitive landscape of the industry. If a company has a very strong brand identity and good name recognition, it is likely that the breakfast segment will experience higher growth because customers anticipate fast service and value for their dollar. And with the higher growth, comes better profit margins for the company.
But another possible reason for the shift in McDonald’s Breakfast menus is that they feel that they don’t need to constantly dole out promotions and incentives to customers to motivate them to eat at the restaurant. They feel that by offering the same basic food people will be more than happy to pay the extra money for it. And in a fast food chain, profits always seem to be the driving factor for any change in the menu and advertising. With sales growing at double digits year after year, it seems inevitable that the menu will eventually change at the Mc Donalds.
