McDonalds should have one of their monopolies of restaurants in every city dedicated to 24/7 breakfast meals. Double sausage and egg McMuffin is a food to be enjoyed all day round, no doubt.

KFC should really do deliveries. 'Mum's night off' doesn't kick as good as it should when you've got to get in a car, sit in a queue and wait or brave the smelly innards of the actual restaurant. Outsource the deliveries to another company or something.

Subway should expand their franchise to mobile subways and sit outside major events and nightclubs.

I'm hungry. Can anyone make any of these things happen for me?
 
We have a deal with our local KFC to deliver. Working for the Emergency Services > all :D
 
I know what you mean actually - larger pizza places do deliveries - i.e. Pizza Hut. Yet if you require the services of a burger, chips and drink there's nothing apart from 'local' kebab houses.

Though saying that, burgers are cheaper than pizzas which is why it's probably not cost effective for them.

You just have a delivery charge/minimum order then, same as most takeaway places do anyway. I'd say the bigger problem is that Macdonalds/BK and to a lesser extent KFC suffers from being kept warm, even if they said 20 mins delivery, the chips would be pretty manky, and that's if they're freshly cooked just before leaving.
 
Are they all franchises?

McD's, KFC? I know Subway are.


So you could always ask the manager to start it themselves in your area to deliver? They might consider it, probably some lads in their 106s wanting some extra cash would do it. :D
 
The UK gets stiffed on the good fast foods :(
Five Guys are delicious (burgers), Wendy's are far superior to The Big M (I know some UK spots have Wendy's, but it should be made national!).
Arby's, Taco Bell, Q'doba (my fav!) etc

I don't think KFC and McDonalds are.

Thinking about it, it's probably just not viable with the facilities at their disposal, and their sheer size.

I know, for example, that McDonalds where I live in West Quay stuggles to break even every year despite having massive customer turnover daily. It's basically there for PR and marketing reasons. If you added to that deliveries which would probably have a complete lifecycle from order to delivery of 30-60 minutes it's probably just not the kind of volume they can deal in, far too slow and unreliable.
 
McDonalds deliver in Dubai.

I don't think it would work that well as the food gets cold within seconds. If you stifle the fries in a container then they go soggy.
