To sum up the study, here listed are three points to be taken into serious consideration.
(1) Based on multiplicity of cultures and customs, fast food corporation ought to establish different sale tactics that is in line with local market preference. For instance, typical western fast food meal mainly includes hamburger, French fries and soft drink. When they are introduced to Asia, some changes could be made according to regional customs and dietary habits. Like KFC in China, they launched new products that are suitable for Chinese, such as hot soup, gruel, rice and Chinese flavor breakfast so on.
As to Chinese style fast food, although it is more healthy compared to western style, it lacks general popularity because it lays emphasis on national characteristics. Therefore, to develop Chinese fast food business, it is necessary to make it more accessible to a wider consumer by enhancing the standardization of products, improving the comfort of restaurant environment or convenience for taking etc.
(2) To advocate the idea of green consumption and raise the environmental awareness of the public. To reduce the waste of resources, first of all, fast food outlets could provide less tissue for customer. Then disposable plastic foam food/drink containers could be replaced by recycle-friendly material. Through amending the outside package of products, people could save more paper.
(3). We have to acknowledge that “fast food culture” has become part of main current culture. No matter how much negative effect it brings to the society, the fact is many people still like and depend on having them. Its existence needs to be taken seriously, so does its social value and social effect. To avoid cultural conflicts, government should expand the communication between different cultures. On the one hand, the excellent tradition and local cultures need to be better promoted. On the other hand, we ought to affirm the bright sides of “fast food culture”. To set up a healthy eating habit and consuming attitude needs education and nice environment. In modern society, people will realize and learn to tell right from wrong cleverly in life.
