McDonalds is really struggling right now. An example is reflected in the article in “USA Today” dated 3/10/15. It states, “that McDonalds sales are slipping”. It further states that, “beyond disappointing U.S. numbers for stores open at least 13 months, monthly sales for the Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa region were down 4.4%. The only ray of hope was Europe, where sales were up 0.7%”.
There are many different things currently being tried by McDonald’s. These are a few:
· McDonalds to rasie hourly pay for 90,000 workers. The restaurant will pay at least $1.00 per hour more than minimum wage.
· The restaurant will add benefits like paid vacation.
· McDonalds will test an all day breakfast.
