Heir Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I have taken the liberty of purchasing a chicken burger from KFC, BK and McD's all within 15 minutes of each other for tonight's dinner in order to do a mystery shopping comparison. From McD's I have their new Seared Chicken Delux, from BK I have some kind of seared burger and from KFC I got their works burger. First the 3 stores were judged on their first impressions, including, staff presentation, cleanliness of building etc. Marks out of 10. BK - Nice clean store, staff were well groomed and the building was nice and tidy. 8/10 McD's - Busy, but nice and clean - up to McDonald's usual standards. Staff we all wearing clean uniforms. 8.5/10 KFC - Drive through has huge pot holes, behind the building looks like a dark alley where you might get mugged in a movie. Staff were ok. 6.5/10 Secondly the 3 stores were judged by the staff's level of service. Marks out of 10. BK - Girl had manners, however, window was slammed shut between paying for and receiving the meal. Was a short wait, but an apology was made for this. 8/10 McD's - Girl was abrupt and not polite. Wait was short. 5/10 KFC - Girl was friendly, direct. 8/10 Thirdly the stores were judged on their burgers. Marks out of 10. BK - Burger nice and plump and well presented, Chicken was more processed than the rest of the burgers, lettuce wasn't too bad. A little sloppy but sauce was good. Good general flavour. 8.5/10 McD's - Burger was flat, good salad selection with a decent amount of tomato, red cabbage, mesclin and carrot, but sadly the burger was so poorly made all this had fallen out. Sauce did not taste so great. Worst presentation. 5/10 KFC - Small burger but well presented. Lettuce was ok, a little wilted, had pineapple. Chicken was the tastiest, crispy, nice and thick. Sauce was good. 7/10 So, Overall BK definitely IS the Burger King despite the forgettable name of the actual burger, and they now also serve breakfasts, which are surprisingly good. KFC comes a close second with decent chicken, beating out McD's who's burger quality and rude service let them down. Stay tuned as next time I mystery shop produce stores and their parsnips.

Heir Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 BK tasted better! KFC was ohk. McDs was shocking and I LOVE their chicken mccheeses. Which I noticed are no longer available... probably because of the dairy price increase lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hungry now Will definitly 2nd you on that 1. Ford Freakout burgers rock, n they usually have good taste in music. Although thunderburgers from mission bay are ALOT bigger n more bang for your buck. BK will follow that with the XL Triplestack with mayo.

antwan Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I'm not surprised that Red Rooster has closed down, their burgers tasted like cardboard, Wendy's isn't much better really. Aioli = yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
