McDonald's isn't exactly front-line Iraq. What exactly is the reason behind this question? If you are planning on trying to sell a product to them you will need to be more specific and have very good business contacts to be able to even set up a meeting with the people at head office involved in equipment procurement in these monopoly companies.

Most of the large fast food enterprises use a standardized building and equipment specification that is created in a centralized engineering office. Franchisees have little say as to what they can and cannot use in the individual stores. This is because with a name on the front door like McDonalds, lawyers go for the deep pockets and will not stop at the door of the local franchise, they go after corporate bank accounts if there is a safety issue. So McDonalds does not allow a potentially expensive lawsuit to be created by some local decision maker being too cheap to do something right. So if your goal is to sell something to McDonalds, get in line at the corporate engineering offices behind all of the high powered well paid salesmen who are already camping there.

As far as efficiency goes, the same holds true, although not for liability reasons. They have very well paid efficiency experts who have very specific training programs in place already. In other words, they already have it down to a science, that is exactly what makes them so big. You may observe individual franchisees who work inefficiently, but that's because they choose to (or are too stupid to participate) and those people are not likely to invest in someone else's solution either.

I have read somewherev that the soft serve machine at some or other fast food chain create a lott of off time. If you can improve on the quality , price , service . . . you might be in business.

Contact some outlets and find out what their challenges are.
