What’s McDonald’s Spin-off CosMc’s Key Ingredient for Success? Personalized Customer Service.

 

McDonald’s latest venture, CosMc’s, is poised to make a significant impact in the fast-food industry with its recent launch in Bolingbrook, Illinois. This new chain, characterized as a ‘beverage concept’, moves away from traditional offerings like Big Macs and fries, and instead, highlights a variety of lemonades, coffees, sandwiches, and desserts. With plans to establish ten more locations in Texas within the coming year, CosMc’s aims to carve out a niche in the competitive beverage-focused quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector.

Darren Spicer, Co-Founder & CEO of popular coffee chain Clutch Coffee Bar, lends his insights into this market, underscoring the crucial role of personalized customer service in the success of such innovative food service models. Spicer’s experience in the field reveals that personalized customer service isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a critical component that can significantly impact customer loyalty and brand perception.

“That one-on-one personalized interaction… it’s very, very hard to master that or to roll that out. And so I think that’s gonna be one of the biggest things that determines whether or not this has staying power for McDonald’s,” Spicer said.
