Can Wendy’s Beat McDonald's And Burger King?

Wendy’s is sick of losing the fast-food wars to McDonald’s and Burger King. To fix that, it’s turning to breakfast and customers outside the U.S. In early 2020, it’s going to add a breakfast menu in the U.S. By 2021, it’s going to open stores in Europe. There’s just one problem: Wendy’s has tried to do both of these things before. And it’s failed.

Can Wendy’s Beat McDonald's And Burger King?

[@CaL-76]

Wendy’s: why can’t I get more customers Me: you can start by opening a store near me

[@diegoavila4379]

I would get hella fat and spend a lot of money

[@tanman49]

thats the main reason on my end cal76. Their stores are always very very harddddd to find. i aint driving or taking train just to get wendys. and for Mc, you can find 2 stores on 1 city block and in airports. They are like bank of america locations. but noo wendys is like a wall street bank. if you arent on wall street you find it. More stores would be a good start.

[@healingandgrowth-infp4677]

On other news McDonalds has gone downhill fast. Their chicken nuggets is not real food. Complete playdough or something. Burger King use to taste better than mc Donald's too but they've gone downhill fast too. I rem the day also when staff cared about service but now they throw it together and literally leave it to go cold before serving. And one time the chicken sandwich was uncooked. Never ordered that from mc donalds again. Honestly mc Donald's sides are not food though. I wonder what wendy's are like :-) but in order to ever get to try it it will need to come here and in doing that it will loose quality texture taste like all the super stores.

[@russellfamily5078]

As a former employee of Wendy's (3yrs in High School/College), I LOVE the brand, the company, and the food. Their twitter game is OP and their dedication to adoption has always been something I've admired. Their natural cut fries are quite possibly the best fries out there (ever since McDonalds got rid of beef tallow in their fry oil). Their frosty is a great, cheap, and healthier alternative to a shake. Their grilled chicken sandwich (if you can get it fresh) is seriously underrated. They're one of the few places out there that still have chicken wraps on their menu, and it's the only national chain that I'm aware of that serves Chili/baked potatoes. Their salads are also the best in their category as well IMO. One of the biggest open secrets of Wendy's is that they're one of the few restaurants that (at least at every location I've visited) consistently offers all toppings for their sandwiches for FREE (except premium toppings like cheese and bacon, obviously). You want extra ketchup, mayo, pickles, tomatoes, onions, and mustard on your burger? ALL FREE! An excellent way to get the most bang for your buck when ordering a burger. It's also a great way to fill your stomach without adding 1000 more calories to your meal. I haven't tried their most recent breakfast push, but their previous attempts have been mediocre at best. There's some real potential for the breakfast baked potato idea though.

[@NathanReyes.]

I agree

[@jeremygibbs7342]

I dunno about the breakfast push. McDonald's can sell it because its cheap crap and fast. Wendy's would have to sacrifice the speed or the quality to maintain customer demand for breakfast. I think they would have been better off doubling down on advertising. Or investing in more staff to better meet lunch rushes and have a obvious time difference to MC D's

[@richycartel8405]

Wendy's don't have "tarter sauce"each/every time when I ask for it when I purchased a chicken sandwich. And, they don't serve any Fish Sandwich , nor any fish...it's seasonal. Wendy's do have $1.29 chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mayo, that is pertty good. I didn't know that ingredients extras are free. And, I didn't know that their ice cream is better for your body then a shake...I lost my Wendy's card for a free ice cream for life.

I'm just appreciating all the love for Wendy's in the comments... It always baffles me how there are not enough Wendy's out there.. classic double meal with an additional double stack on the side...👍👍

[@jakp8777]

Why does Wendy’s need to beat anyone? They can just be themselves.

[@diegoavila4379]

They want to make more money from food. More money from food means the higher the stocks sell. Which means more money.

[@joystickonomics3570]

What’s the point of a business then? A business is supposed to make money and beat their competitors.

[@aspieotaku3580]

They are already better than the other 2 its about quality and Wendys delivers.

[@Chironex_Fleckeri]

It's nearly the cost of an In n Out or Five Guys for a Wendy's meal. Consumers no longer value soft drinks significantly higher than water, i.e. getting a Five Guys burger and fries with water ends up being close to a Wendy's combo meal, the soft drink adding no value to most young consumers. With online ordering and gig delivery services making fast casual even more of a preference for Gen Z and Millennials, Wendy's is facing ruin if they don't steer their ship to new waters.

[@morebakeder]

from working in the fast food industry for way too long i can tell you that the quality of the food you get from the store is dependent on the employees of the store more than it is the initial quality of the precooked food. I do prefer Wendy's burgers because they are fresh never frozen, but i have had them when they have been over cooked, not as good. My local McDonalds is open 24 hours but the only time i really get good food from them is at 4am when they are the only place open and they make everything to order. Our local Arby's closed due to really poor management, and our Burger King moved to an inconvenient location for me to want to go there any more. Our Taco Bell was really slow, sitting in the drive threw line over a half hour after you place your order and not being able to leave the line because of the way the drive threw is designed, and 45 min wait for food when you dine in. heard they have improved but haven't wanted to try them just in case.

[@Chironex_Fleckeri]

It's a complex issue, but I believe it has to do with their required pricing no longer resulting in a competitive offering when compared to cheaper McDonalds/BK and higher quality FiveGuys/In N Out. They're occupying a market space that is no longer attractive. Wendy's has their dollar menu loss leaders, but it's killing their bottom line to be selling fewer and fewer lucrative combo meals (soft drink provides most of the gross margin per unit). Young people don't value soda. They'd rather eat at FiveGuys or In N Out for a similar price (drinking water) or McDonalds to save money. Side note: why do you think McDonalds introduced $1 any size soft drinks? It's to get young people drinking soda and ordering the combo meals. Soda used to be the money maker for Wendy's. Wendy's isn't the king of quality anymore; they're middle of the road. When you add in the gig delivery services like DoorDash and UberEats along with fast pickup, Wendy's has almost zero value proposition aside from their dollar menu. The dollar menu margins at Wendy's are slim compared to Taco Bell or McDonalds. Wendy's dollar menu is just meant to get you in the drive through, where hopefully you'll end up choosing to upgrade or expand your order. So, what should they do? They're running out of time to get market share with Gen Z, if not doomed already. Big changes are needed or Wendy's will be gone in 10-15 years.
