McDonald’s and Burger King both offer kids meals, but McDonald’s however has more appealing options. These options range from food and drink items, to the packaging they come in. Many times McDonald’s relates their toys to “the latest big movie or a popular television show” (DePietro, 2010). This could vary depending on the restaurants location. Burger King has 11,100 locations worldwide where McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations (Brantley, 2007). Because there are so many Burger King’s and McDonald’s around the world, the toys are sure to vary depending on the most popular movie and television show out in that country. Although there is one thing that really separates these two kids’ meals from each other, and that’s the price. A Burger King Kids meal can cost as high as $5.00 depending on your location. Whereas the McDonald’s happy meal will cost you up to $3.00. Cost is really one of the biggest differences between these two franchises. Aside from both places offering the dollar menu, their overall pricing on other items, is very different. A McDonald’s value meal can cost up to $4.00, whereas Burger King’s value meals can cost up to $6.00!

Another difference in these two fast food places would be the goal and service that you receive when visiting those restaurants. McDonald’s focuses more on the quality of the food, rather than the speed in which it is served. Some customers have stated that when entering McDonald’s, you may feel unwelcomed until it is your turn to order. This is because employees take one order at a time and do not take another until the current order has been served. Basically one employee takes your order, places it in the bag once it is made and then serves you the food before taking the next order. Burger King is more focused on the speediness of the service, but you are greeted at the door when you enter by at least one employee. One employee then takes your order and gives you a number and cup, if you have ordered a drink. The idea is that once you fill your drink, your order should be ready, in which you pick it up from another location from where the order was placed. They both have different order placement and pick up procedures when visiting the inside, but both offer drive-thrus and playgrounds outside the buildings for your convenience.

But the ones Burger King’s has are not as crispy and the ones McDonalds has. They say they are all white meat but I beg to differ. If it is all white meat then it is the bone to. I must say that the new chicken tenders at Burger king are much better than the old one I would still rather have the ones from McDonalds then from Burger king. McDonalds has chicken select and Burger King has just came out with chicken strips. Everything right down to the size count and the sauces to go with it. One thing that Burger King is starting new is that they are trying to introduce all fresh items on its menu. They are using new fresh cut lettuces, onions, salads, and trying to become a healthier restaurant. Something new that McDonalds is trying is in their kid’s meals they are giving a smaller fry and also giving the kids apple slices. Burger King has yet to jump on this concept, but I’m sure it is not too far behind. So as you can see right down to the mascot Burger King is trying to keep up with everything that McDonalds does.
