McDonald’s is testing out a new menu that includes fewer items. The fast food chain is trying to simplify the menu and ordering process for its customers. But some are worried that this move will eliminate their favorite items or ability to choose from a big variety of options. So what to people think about the new simplified McDonald’s menu? And how might it impact fast food customers?

And just 5% said they never eat fast food.
Fast Food Variety
In general, 73% of fast food customers said they like having a variety of menu items at fast food restaurants. And just 45% said that having too many menu items at fast food restaurants can be overwhelming. 75% said that when they do eat at fast food restaurants, they usually just choose the same one or two menu items to eat every time. So for those customers a large variety might not be necessary. However, 54% of respondents said that they would stop eating at a fast food restaurant if it got rid of their favorite menu item(s).
