SUMMARY
India being a huge country and having a healthy growing economy many major western fast food players have serious plans to cater to this huge population in their sights. The fast-food industry is facing the long-awaited problem of saturation and therefore it is increasingly difficult to open more restaurants, and it is harder to sell more hamburgers because if which industrys big players are at war to steal each others customers, enlarge their menus, and spawn new fast-food concepts. It is a highly competitive industry and consumers of these industries also switch a lot. Players have to be very active in attracting customers and retaining them. Burger king is one player which does very aggressive promotions and advertising, one its commercial showed that people prefer Burger kings sandwiches over Mc. Donalds and Wendys and also showed that their patty is much bigger and better prepared than its competitive players. To keep up with the competition players have started new items in their menus and also started adding totally new menus. Players have also started reaching out different places and geographies to keep up with their growing objective. They have opened up in many different locations like at school campuses, meuseums, zoos, bus-stations, airports etc. and as well as at smaller towns which were earlier skipped or not given much importance for expansion and growth prospects. Many smaller companies/firms have been acquired up by these big giants because of the increasing competition in the industry for example, the Washington DC based Marriott Corporation, owner of the Roy Rogers hamburger chain recently acquired Ginos. Hardees has purchased Burger Chef etc.
