I always wondered what kind of reasoning was behind that 10 am cutoff-point. Who the heck wants to eat a burger before, say, 11 am?

- swang 9y agoi believe it was 1030 for mcdonalds and the reasoning was they needed to start prepping for the 11am/lunch shift and there was only so much grill space for burgers/buns vs mcmuffins/toast/pancakes. i don't know what changes mcdonalds enforced to keep it going past 1030 now (just mandate now?)
- johansch 9y agoIn Sweden the cut-off/switch time is 10:00. It has been this time for a very, very long time.
- swang 9y agoah okay. i was thinking about in the states.. which was 10:30ish
- brianwawok 9y agoI think it varied a bit by store.
- irrational 9y agoI feel like only America eats crappy food like McDonalds and everywhere else they eat fresh wholesome food every day. Hearing that they have McDonalds in other countries just makes me sad.

- dpiers 9y agoThey keep the grill at different temperatures for breakfast vs lunch, which is why all day breakfast required kitchen renovations.
- CryoLogic 9y agoIt is very primitive thinking to base the content of your meals off of their cultural value rather than their nutritional value. You should figure out your TDEE, macronutrients and micronutrients and base meals off of that. Burger at 8am? Who cares if it's what you need.
- Casseres 9y agoI do. I don't care for their breakfasts; I'd rather have an all-day lunch/dinner menu. For some people, their lunch or dinner times could be between 5 and 10 am.
- Eric_WVGG 9y agoI told an acquaintance who worked McDonald's in their teens about the transition to all-day breakfast, and was informed that I must be mistaken, the logistics were completely impossible.
- ams6110 9y agoThe logistics were impossible without a kitchen remodel, because they cooked the eggs and the burgers on the same grills, but at different temperatures. The remodels included new equipment and a completely new kitchen workflow.
- mixmastamyk 9y agoLarge grills usually have two sides with two temperature controls.
- abemishler 9y agoI for one would. They are leaving money on the table by not serving burgers anytime anybody wants a burger.
- thesagan 9y agoSame for me. I really don't like breakfast foods, and it's very difficult to grab a burger in the morning. Every place seems to serve the same boring morning breakfast until 10:30am. (And McD's breakfast seems overpriced for what they deliver.)
