McDonaldization is a term used by sociologist George Ritzer in his book "The McDonaldization of Society" (1993).
 He explains that it becomes manifested when a society adopts the characteristics of a fast-food restaurant.
 McDonaldization is a reconceptualization of rationalization and scientific management.
 Where Max Weber used the model of the bureaucracy to represent the direction of this changing society, Ritzer sees the fast-food restaurant as having become a more representative contemporary paradigm (Ritzer, 2004:553).
 The process of McDonaldization can be summarized as the way in which "the principles of the fast-food restaurant are coming to dominate more and more sectors of American society as well as of the rest of the world."
McDonald's Canada (French: "Les Restaurants McDonald du Canada Ltée" ) is the Canadian master franchise of the fast-food restaurant chain McDonald's, owned by the American parent McDonald's Corporation.
 One of Canada's largest fast-food restaurant chains, the franchise sells food items, including hamburgers, chicken, French fries and soft drinks all across the country.
 McDonald's is known for its high fat and calorie foods, but it also has alternatives such as salads, juices and milk.
 McDonald's was previously Canada's largest food service operator before being overtaken by Tim Hortons in 2005.
 The slogans used in Canada are "i'm lovin' it" (in English) and "c'est ça que j'm" (in French).
KFC, until 1991 known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is an American fast food restaurant chain that specializes in fried chicken.
 Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, it is the world's second-largest restaurant chain (as measured by sales) after McDonald's, with almost 20,000 locations globally in 123 countries and territories as of December 2015 .
 The chain is a subsidiary of Yum!
 Brands, a restaurant company that also owns the Pizza Hut and Taco Bell chains.
International fast-food restaurant chain Burger King and its Australian franchise Hungry Jack's have had a variety of grilled chicken sandwiches in their product portfolio since 1990.
 The BK Broiler was the first iteration, and was one of the most successful product introductions in the fast food industry to that point in time.
 However sales dropped in the following two years, and the product was reformulated and renamed to the Chicken Whopper to align the product with the company's Whopper Sandwich.
 A change of ownership of Burger King in 2004 prompted another reformulation of the product into the BK Baguette product line that focused on a more health-oriented product.
 This new formulation proved unpopular and was replaced in 2005 with the TenderGrill chicken sandwich.
 The TenderGrill sandwich was introduced as part of a series of sandwiches designed to expand Burger King's menu with both more sophisticated, adult oriented fare and present a larger, meatier product that appealed to 24- to 36-year-old males.
 Burger King was the first major fast food chain to introduce a grilled chicken sandwich to the marketplace, beating rivals Wendy's by six months and McDonald's by four years.
 These two chains also went through a series of reformulations and naming schemes for their grilled chicken products.
Restaurant Brands International is a Canadian multinational fast food company.
 Formed in 2014 by the $12.5 billion merger between American fast food restaurant chain Burger King and the Canadian coffee shop and restaurant chain Tim Hortons, and expanded by the 2017 purchase of Louisiana-based and themed Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, the company is the third-largest operator of fast food restaurants in the world.
 The company is based alongside Tim Hortons in Oakville, Ontario, but both chains retain their existing operations and headquarters in Oakville and Miami respectively.
 The merger focused primarily on expanding the international reach of the Tim Hortons brand, and providing financial efficiencies for both companies.
Beurger King Muslim (or BKM) is a fast-food restaurant launched in July 2005.
 The restaurant aims to mimic American fast food restaurants.
 It first set up a branch in the suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois, Paris (France), offering hamburgers, French fries, sundaes, cola and doughnuts.
 The beef and chicken used in their burgers are halal - meaning they are made with meat slaughtered according to Islamic dietary laws.
 It is located in the eastern Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois, where many locals are first- or second-generation Muslim immigrants from former French colonies.

A fast food restaurant, also known as a quick service restaurant (QSR) within the industry, is a specific type of restaurant that serves fast food cuisine and has minimal table service.
 The food served in fast food restaurants is typically part of a "meat-sweet diet", offered from a limited menu, cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot, finished and packaged to order, and usually available for take away, though seating may be provided.
 Fast food restaurants are typically part of a restaurant chain or franchise operation that provisions standardized ingredients and/or partially prepared foods and supplies to each restaurant through controlled supply channels.
 The term "fast food" was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam–Webster in 1951.
