The fast food restaurant industry, which includes quick-service and fast-casual restaurants, is highly segmented with the top 50 companies accounting for only 25% of the industry’s sales. The $120 billion industry includes over 200,000 restaurants with 50% of those specializing in hamburger entrees. (hoovers.com 2008) The major competitors in the industry include McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, Subway, and KFC – Chick-fil-A’s major competitor in chicken sales. Chick-fil-A’s unique position in the market, specializing in chicken-based entrées, has lead to a competitive advantage which the company has been able to capitalize on. Recently, many competitors have added chicken entrees in order to compete in the market segment. Through marketing strategies and company initiatives, Chick-fil-A has tried to stay distant from competitors, offering a fresh alternative to the ordinary fast food restaurant.
There are hundreds of thousands of Burger Kings across the United States, and they all have cheap food. For one person, Burger King can cost as low as a dollar before taxes if that person eats off of the dollar menu. However, since the food is so cheap, it is not as good quality. It also does not taste as good as more quality food. Instead, the meat is a low grade and often contains fillers to lower the price of the meat (Sporleder and Goldsmith). The staff is often paid a very low wage, and they are not very friendly. The restaurant offers a cheap fast food joint atmosphere, followed by an aroma of French fries, fryers, and grease. Burger King, like many fast food restaurants, has meals that appeal to children, along with play rooms kids can have fun in. This is so they can appeal more to families, generating more

McDonalds also uses diversification in its global marketing. McDonalds recognizes that different countries have different values, customs, and tastes. Therefore, McDonalds satisfies these diverse global tastes by diversifying the menu according to each country’s unique preferences. This added diversification tactic, allows McDonalds to stay competitive in a global market. Examples of McDonalds globally diversified menu would be that McDonalds offers an exclusive beefless menu to its customers who live in India. This is because eating beef in India is sacrilegious. To meet the tastes of customers in India, McDonalds created new offerings such as the “Pizza McPuff” and the “McVeggie.” McDonalds considers the cultural tastes in every country it opens its doors

KFC is one of the most popular fast-food restaurant chains by the Yum! Brands and fried chicken is what the company specializes. KFC was founded by Harland Sanders, which was later known as Colonel Sanders. Moreover, KFC was one of the first fast-food restaurant chains to expand internationally, including the opening outlets in Beijing, China, in November 1987 (KFC Website, 2013).
