Former McDonald\u2019s chef explains why they don\u2019t sell highly-requested menu item TikTok: chefmikeharacz\/UnsplashA former McDonald\u2019s chef has revealed why they don\u2019t offer one of the most highly-requested side items on their menus \u2013 onion rings. It\u2019s hard these days to load up any social media platform and not come across something food-related inside a scroll or two. That\u2019s the same for TikTok too. Users are absolutely obsessed with both incredibly fancy meals, and those that look a little worrisome as well. There are a whole host of chefs looking to do things on the cheap and provide recipe hacks. Naturally, fast food has its place as well. TikTokers love sharing secret items and menus, especially if they\u2019ve managed to work somewhere like McDonald\u2019s or Burger King. Ex-McDonald\u2019s chef explains why they won\u2019t sell onion rings That\u2019s the whole point of TikToker Mike Haracz\u2019s videos as he, a former corporate chef at McDonald\u2019s, has continued to share stories about how they put menus together, how you can get secret items, and much more. Now, in one of his newest videos, he\u2019s answered the question of why McDonald\u2019s doesn\u2019t offer onion rings \u2013 despite how highly requested they are. \u201cIt would be a little special thing. Think of how many less would order fries and would order onion rings instead,\u201d Chef Mike said, noting it would only ever be a limited-time offer. \u201cRight now, because of how many fries they sell, because of how efficient they are and, most importantly, how over the top profitable it is for them \u2013 so the markup on fries, it is pretty bad how much they overcharge for their fries compared to their other menu items \u2013 they would be selling a much less efficient, much less profitable item for them.\u201d The former McDonald\u2019s reiterated that it is all about efficiency for them and, given how much they make on the fries, items that people want are typically going to take a back seat. He also added that he doesn\u2019t see it happening any time soon, so, don\u2019t get your hopes up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
