1. COMPANY PROFILE AND VISION
McDonald’s Japan is a leading company in Japan’s foodservice industry with approximately 1.3 billion customers visiting annually.
At lunchtime, you can see a lot of people in suits and formal wear but in holidays and nighttime, there are lots of high school students and young people.
“McDonald’s Japan offers customers delicious food at reasonable prices.” The menu's price range is around 5 USD to 10USD. However, the size and the fullness of the food may not satisfy the customer who experiences McDonald's in other counties. Foreigners complain about how small are the burger and drinks.
2. SUPPLY CHAIN
Have you ever heard about the potatoes deficit in last winter for Mc Donalds Menu’s in Japan? Yes, Mc Donalds Japan faced a potatoes deficit this year. To solve this problem only S-size potato fries were available for a while. They couldn't provide enough potato fries and offered compensation for the customers who request M-size fries on the menu.
Besides this incident due to the negative effects of the pandemic, Mc Donalds Japan has the concept of self-order kiosks, premium menus, and fast table service offered in a relaxed environment.
There are McDonald's restaurants in crowded locations in the city. However, their working hours and schedule of the branch vary from 16 hours to 24 hours. 140,000 crew all over Japan.
You may also see foreign people who work as cashiers or kitchen staff. University students or part-time seekers prefer to work in Mc Donalds and can promote to full-time workers as a branch or shift managers.

Every season, Japan Mc Donalds offers some delicious seasonal inspirational snacks or burger designs for customers.
You can check the menu. The menu changes almost 6 or 7 times annually. There are some delicious Japanese ingredients such as shrimp, teriyaki source, sakura flavor, wasabi, yakitori, pork cutlet and etc.

Some menus like morning sets are only available for specific time periods of the day. If you wake up in the afternoon, you cannot get a morning set beside of standard menu.
