    impact on the eating out trends and growth of the fast food industry. The industry experts consider

    that the middle class young population, with high disposable income, will spend more on eating outat chained fast food outlets. The demand for ready-to-eat packaged food is also expected to record

    strong growth in the country.

    In todays competitive world, Service Quality has become one of the most strategic tools formeasuring customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is actually how customer evaluates the

    ongoing performance (Gustafsson, Johnson and Roos, 2005). Customer satisfaction is very

    important in todays business world as the ability of a service provider to create high degree ofsatisfaction is crucial for product differentiation and developing a strong relationship with

    customers (Deng et al., 2009). Because of the above reasons the companies consider customer

    satisfaction as very important element while devising their core strategies. Moreover, the concept of

    customer satisfaction gained so much importance that American Customer Satisfaction Index(ACSI) was developed.

    II. COMPANY PROFILE

    a) About McDonaldsThe McDonalds restaurant concept was introduced in California by two brothers named

    Dick and Mac McDonalds of Manchester. The business was founded in 1940 by these 2 brothers. It

    is the world's largest fast food chain, selling primarily hamburgers, chicken, French fries andcarbonated drinks. It was later modified and expanded by their business partner, Ray Kroc who

    later bought out the business of the McDonalds brothers and went on and found McDonald's

    Corporation. Advertising has always played a key role in the development of the McDonald'sCorporation. Indeed, McDonald's ads have been some of the most identifiable over the years. In

    1962, McDonald's introduced its now world-famous Golden Arches logo. A year later, the company

    sold its billionth hamburger and introduced Ronald McDonald, a red-haired clown designed to

    appeal to children. McDonald's restaurants are found in 120 countries and serve nearly 54 million

    customers each day. Most of the McDonaldsrestaurants offers both counter services and homedeliveries up to certain distances. At the end of 2003 there were over 6oo McCafes worldwide.

    b) About KFCKFC (the name was originally aninitialsfor Kentucky Fried Chicken) is a fast food

    restaurant chain that specializes in fried chicken and is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, in

    the United States. It is the world's second largest restaurant chain (as measured by sales)after McDonald's, with 18,875 outlets in 118 countries and territories as of December 2013. The

    company is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, a restaurant company that also owns the Pizza

    Hut and Taco Bell chains. KFC was one of the first fast food chains to expand internationally,opening outlets in Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Jamaica by the mid-1960s.

    Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, KFC experienced mixed fortunes domestically, as it went througha series of changes in corporate ownership with little or no experience in the restaurant business. In

    the early 1970. The chain has since expanded rapidly in China, which is now the company's singlelargest market. PepsiCo spun off its restaurants division as Tricon Global Restaurants, which later

    changed its name to Yum! Brands. KFC's original product is pressure fried chicken pieces,

    seasoned with Sanders' recipe of 11 herbs and spices. The constituents of the recipe represent anotable trade secret. Larger portions of fried chicken are served in a cardboard "bucket," which has

    become a well-known feature of the chain since it was first introduced by franchisee Pete Harman

    In 1957. Since the early 1990s, KFC has expanded its menu to offer other chicken products suchas chicken fillet burgers and wraps, as well as salads and side dishes, such as French

    fries and coleslaw, desserts, and soft drinks, the latter often supplied by PepsiCo. KFC is known for

    the slogan "finger licking' good," which has since been replaced by "Nobody does chicken likeKFC" and "So good."

    III. REVIEW OF LITERARTURE

    Schlosser E. (2001) pointed out the most frequently reported reasons for eating at fast-foodrestaurants were fast food is quickly served. Laroche and Parsa (2000) found that that people decide

    to choose fast food restaurant because they like the taste and prefer instant satisfaction of their taste

    buds. Fast food restaurant include a wide range of quick and fast service, brands and take only short

    period to serve it. Consumer make their choice of brands in multi brand situation is one of leastunderstood yet important phenomenon in the marketing of Quick Service Restaurant - Fast Food

    Restaurant. French SA et al, (2001) pointed out that visiting fast food restaurant is to spent time

    with family and friends. Drewnowski and Spectre, (2000) contends that one of the factor thatinfluences consumption of fast food is by socio-economic status. There is a difference between

    people who have high income with people who is have low income. Usually people with low

    economic status prefer roadside stalls which are inexpensive; hygiene is not a criterion for them.

    Agnes K.Y. Law, Y.V. Hui, Xiande Zhao, (2004) have studied on Modeling repurchase

    frequency and customer satisfaction for fast food outlets. In this study, the relationships between

    customer satisfactions; repurchase frequency, waiting time and other service quality factors in fast

    food outlets are modeled. Results shows that waiting time, staff attitude, food quality and foodvariety all significantly affect customer satisfaction.

    Ronald Gilbert, Cleopatra Veloutsou, Mark M.H. Goode, Luiz Moutinho, (2004) have

    studied on Measuring customer satisfaction in the fast food industry: a cross-national approach.

    This study provides a cross-cultural comparison of service satisfaction of fast food establishments

    in four English-speaking countries. It is based on data collected from customers of five globally-franchised fast-food chains, using a previously developed service satisfaction instrument. The study

    reveals two empirically derived, cross-cultural fast-food customer satisfaction dimensions:

    satisfaction with the personal service and satisfaction with the service setting.

    Monika J.A. Schrder and Morven G. McEachern, (2005) have studied on Fast foods andethical consumer value: a focus on McDonalds and KFC. This paper aims to investigate the effect

    of communicating corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives to young consumers in the UKon their fast-food purchasing with reference to McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).

    Most respondents (82 per cent) regularly purchased fast food from one of the companies; purchases

    were mostly impulsive (57 per cent) or routine (26 per cent), suggesting relatively low-levelinvolvement in each case. Four factors were isolated, together explaining 52 per cent of the variance

    in fast food purchasing behaviour. They were brand value, nutritional value, ethical value and food

    quality.Sandeep Singh Chib (2012),in his paper analyzed the customer satisfaction level related to

    KFC and McDonald. It aims at knowing which of the companies (KFC or McDonald) is doing

    better in terms of service quality and also to know which of the companies (KFC or McDonald) ishaving more overall customer satisfaction. The researchers have used self-administered

    questionnaire which is having two sections. First section comprises of statements related to

    customer satisfaction, derived from Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8, C. Clifford

    Attkisson 1979) and American Satisfaction Customer Index (ASCI, University of Michigan 1944).The second section comprises of statements related to service quality, derived from SERVQUAL

    statements to collect primary data. The investigator has used ANOVA (Univariate), Descriptive

    Statistics, correlation and regression, KMO and Bartlett Test and Factor Analysis in order to

    achieve the research objective. The study reveals that KFC was having better service quality andoverall customer satisfaction as compared to McDonald. This paper offers suggestions for adoption

    of customer satisfaction techniques pertaining to Fast food Industry. Finally, the scope for further

    research also spelt out concisely.Vanishree, M, and Shanthi, L (2013), in their paper discussed about customer awareness and

    satisfaction towards KFC in Coimbatore. The demand for ready-to-eat packaged food is also

    expected to record strong growth in the country. After the liberalization policy that came in force in1991, fast food industry has grown in India as multinational fast food providers have set up their

    business either jointly with Indian partners or independently. In 1995, Kentucky Fried Chicken

    (KFC) also entered the Indian market and opened its outlet in Delhi. With changing life style and

    aggressive marketing by fast food outlets, fast food is also becoming popular in small towns;

    therefore, success of existing fast food outlets and entry of more is inevitable. Hence, the researcherhas chosen this area for the study. Tools like descriptive analysis, chi square analysis and average

    rank analysis are tested to identify the awareness and satisfaction level of KFC customers.Kinnarry Thakkar and Mrunmayee R.Thatte (2014), in their study attempted to study the

    consumer perception about two important food franchise, McDonalds and KFC. The study is an

    explorative study based on primary data collected from 150 respondents in Thane city through a

    structured questionnaire. Various factors like variety of food items, quality, taste, ingredients etc.are analyzed to study consumer perception about food franchise. The study revealed that price of

    the food items affect the frequency of visits to food outlets.

    Inference:

    The table 6 shows that, the p value is greater than 0.05 for all the factors of customersatisfaction, so the null hypothesis is accepted and alternative hypothesis is rejected at 5% level of

    significance. Hence it is concluded that there is no significant difference between qualification of

    the respondents and the customer perception towards price, quality and taste of the food with regardto McDonalds and KFC products.

    VII. DISCUSSIONS:

    The customers are mostly satisfied towards the price, quality and taste of KFC products.

    According to Hygiene, Preparation time, Nature of product and hospitality McDonalds was

    prepared much.

    There is no significant relation between vegetarian and non-vegetarian respondents to prefer theproduct of KFC and McDonalds.

    There is no relation between qualification of the respondents and the price, quality and taste of

    McDonalds and KFC products.

    48% of respondents visit KFC or McDonalds once in two weeks. Majority (72%) ofrespondents visit KFC or McDonalds with their friends. 40% of customers spends between

    Rs.100 and Rs.500 in KFC or McDonalds restaurants.

    22% of KFC customers and 18% of McDonalds customers are not opined either positively or

    negatively with respect to the quality of food. 18% of KFC customers and 12% of McDonalds

    customers are not satisfied with price of the food. 24% of KFC customers and 18% of

    McDonalds customers are satisfied with taste of the food.

    VIII. IMPLICATIONS:

    From the survey we come to know that the number of customers were fond of non-veg

    products of both KFC and McDonalds. So, importance of products were given only to non-veg

    customers.

    From the above point we come to know that only non-veg products are mostly sold so byintroducing new varieties in veg will attract the veg customer and it will increase the number of

    customers

    Though KFC is an international product, the price of their products were nominal to the peopleaccording to the region. But McDonalds have common for all region so if the price level is

    modified McDonalds also can reach level of KFC

    If the method of delivering products of McDonalds should be revised to increase the number of

    customer.

    The fast food giants may open exclusive vegetarian food restaurant to attract vegetariancustomers with more variety on vegetarian foods.

    IX. CONCLUSION:In India fast food market is strongly dominated by these 2 brands. But when it comes to comparing

    these two brands the following study brings us to a conclusion that as far as market presence and
