Visit at least two different fast-food restaurants that make hamburgers. For example, in the United States McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King are good choices. For some of you fast-food junkies, this will not be difficult; vegans may have to take a friend for product testing. Observe the basic operational differences between these stores. Note the differences in the following processes: QUESTIONSHow are in-store orders taken? Are the hamburgers prepared to order, or are they prepared ahead of time and delivered from a storage bin? How are special orders handled? How are the hamburgers cooked? How are the hamburgers assembled? Is a microwave oven used in the process? How are other common items, such as french fries and drinks, handled?
