Introduction

The McDonald’s Restaurant story began in 1954, when a self-employed salesman named Raymond Kroc sold a popular milkshake mixer in Southern California, thus since then the company contains over 30’000 quick-service outlets in 122 countries around the world. As the company began to be a big success around the world, Mr. Urs Hammer, CEO of McDonald’s Switzerland got the green light from the executive board of Chicago to open a Hotel, in Zurich.

Considering this we can notice that no motivation came from the “people”, this employee had maybe never had proper training on what is the” McDonald’s way.”
The problematic with the bad review is the fact that “Golden Arch Hotel” lost potential customer because of the level of service they were used to get while in McDonald’s restaurant due to technological improvement.
