Within the framework of the International Day of Universal Access to Information, McDonald’s reinforced its commitment to transparency through the program “Open doors”.

Since its launch in 2014, more than 15 million people have lived the experience of touring the kitchens of each location and thus be able to learn about food safety procedures, the origin and quality of ingredients, the careful preparation of orders, the training of collaborators and a variety of other topics related to what happens behind the McDonald’s counter.

In September 2022, renewed the “Open Doors” initiative to offer a better experience to customers. Among the new features, a brief satisfaction survey for participants was included.

Data obtained through more than 38,000 surveys throughout the region revealed that the topic most valued by McDonald’s customers focuses on food safety and hygiene measures, one of the pillars of the company’s socio-environmental strategycalled Recipe of the Future.

Constant hand washing, disinfection of surfaces and care to avoid cross-contamination of food are some of the standards that are rigorously followed in McDonald’s kitchens.

In the second instance, the quality ingredients, the assembly of the orders and the storage of the products were highlighted. Furthermore, after learning details about the production processes, more than 97% of respondents rated the quality of McDonald’s products as very good or excellent.

This data is extremely relevant to the company, as it provides an accurate view of consumers’ interests and perceptions.

Many people can’t imagine the technology and dynamics we have behind the counter.”
