McDonald's mission was to provide customers with quality food at a low price with a focus on the speed, service
and cleanliness they received while patroning one of their restaurants. The case focuses on a specific segment of
the McDonalds restaurant chain that was opened in 1996, McDonald's India. This segment of the restaurant
giant had a more specific mission/philosophy to fulfill and had developed a special menu for these Indian
customers to take into account their culture and religion. When it was realized that beef extracts were found
being used in producing McDonald's fries, outraged vegetarians and Hindus across the United States and Canda
filed a class action lawsuit. Along with this, riots and demonstrations at restaurants in India took place, with
mobs calling for the closure of all McDonald's in India.
