Pros and cons of IS





Everything in the world has both side advantages and disadvantages and the use of information system also like that. After researching we noticed that all McDonald’s restaurants are based on this system and we think that this is something wrong. Let us suppose that there is something wrong in the system or power outage has occurred what will happen?  The orders will be delay or cancel. This is the point that we didn't like in using of information system, because it has become more complicated and perhaps in the future will rely on the system largely and all of these systems will cause problems, so in our opinion McDonald's should be minimize its relied on those systems to avoid any future problems.The most use of information system in McDonald's that we like is the POS, because as we know there are many people like McDonalds also it is international restaurant so it needs a system that can reduce the time for preparing orders, cooks and reduce the errors that happen by the humans, so POS will help to achieve all of these points. In addition it helps limiting the use of the paperwork that maybe makes some problems, because POS include automated reports, like the payroll and other tools for marketing and accounting. this was an overview that lead us to choose this system because it makes the transaction easier and give the customer what they want faster.
We will enhance the IS by improve the POS system ,we will invent a machine that will take the order for the person who have only one order so he will not wait for a long time with people who have many order. Also, this machine will be connected with the main system and the customer can pay by it so, we will reduce the crowds by this machine.
The other one is a system that help people to order online and in the same time there is a screen in the McDonalds restaurant that show the place where the person order from it which will help them to reduce time by knowing people places and to deliver it from the nearest branch of McDonalds to the person house.

I agree that McDonald's should not totally rely on their information system or technology because it may have some errors which will lead to delay and loss of customers , McDonald should always have plan B, they should have some waitress as well , plus i think they should always try to invent and figure ways to attract their customers so they will be satisfied and by this they can guarantee customer retention !
