Filling out of McDonald’s food for thoughts survey takes 2 to 3 minutes. To give you an idea, I am sharing the questions asked in the survey. However, keep in mind that the questions in the survey may get a little changed with time and your responses.

In first few questions, it asks you about your visit type (dine in, drive thru, delivery etc), how did you place the order (using touchscreen, mcdelivery app or counter), whether you collected the order yourself, or staff member delivered the order on the table, and how much is your overall satisfaction with the experience.

Then the survey asks you about your satisfaction level component-wise such as ease of placing order, quality of food and drinks, temperature of the food, speed of service, friendliness of staff and cleanliness of staff, and the overall value for the price etc.

Then it asks some questions regarding accuracy of the order, whether you experienced any problem on this occasion, and whether you will again come to McDonald’s or recommend it to others. After this, it asks you to give any suggestions for improvements. And here’s a tip: if you want to complete the survey in less time, you may skip this suggestion part or just write a word or two.

Then it asks you to select the items you ordered and your satisfaction level about the quality of those items. After this, it asks when you had interaction with the staff, and whether you customized your order or not.

In the end, you have to select you you’d like to receive the validation or participation code. You can select the email or print option. If you select email, you’ll have to enter your email address and name and the voucher with the code will be sent to your email. Otherwise you can select print option, it will display the code; take its screenshot or save as pdf.

If you are in UK, the voucher will contain QR code and 12 digit alphanumeric code which is called validation code or participation code. If your are in Ireland, you’ll get 5 digit code.
