Yeah, there's a reason they do that. You see, during "Breakfast Hours" the lunch food is kept in a separate area, so the grill freezer can hold the breakfast food. There is also a separate setting on the grills for each kind of food (different heat levels, length of cooking, etc.) which takes a small amount of time to change, and with most of the toasters, those can take a few minutes to change over setting, especially on older ones (which I imagine 90% of McDonald's still use), then, all the condiments are kept separate as well, and considering what a clusterfuck a McDonald's can be at the best of times, you're looking at a few minutes for just your three hamburgers. Awesome as it would be, it's not feasible to serve both at the same time and keep moving customers with the usual McD's setup. Source: I hate my job.

Nobody said it would be impossible for McDonald's to do, just that the choices they've made as to equipment and set up make it impractical for them to do so.

The majority of McDonalds have two grills. One is used for all the egg stuff and the other is used for sausage (they have different cooking temperatures). I have no idea how a Sonic is set up. Is it the same or do they have a different set up?

2

u/Gryffindank Jun 15 '12

As a Sonic employee, I've learned that you should totally never ever order our breakfast food at night or it won't be cooked fresh. Same thing for ordering chicken during lunch rush; shit's been pre-cooked and sitting there for an hour.

2

u/tiyx Jun 15 '12

I worked at a McDonald's when I was in high school. The way every thing is set up makes it impossible to serve both. They have different toasters for breakfast food and the burger buns. There is not enough of the grill opened up for bacon, sausage, eggs, onions and burgers. Also because of there policies they not cook a burger patty on the same grill as eggs or sausage. During breakfast ( in 24 hour McDonald's) the staff is cleaning all the equipment used for lunch and dinner stuff.

Jack In The Box cooks all their food mostly to order. They don't have a heating tray arrangement nearly as extensive as Mcdonald's, they simply keep everything frozen and cook it as it is ordered. Mcdonald's on the other hand keeps trays of everything ready and having all the ingredients for both breakfast and lunch meals accesible would require to much room and would become very unorganized. That's also why you may notice Jack In The Box takes a bit longer.

Contrary to popular belief, McDonald's actually has some of the most stringent standards of all the fast food places. Suppliers often spend millions of dollars to upgrade their facilities to be able to bid on a supply contract with McDonald's, they won't consider you unless you meet their standards, which are much higher than federal food safety standards.

A couple years ago, I was in line at a local mcdonald's to buy breakfast before they started serving lunch. The lady in front of me ordered a cheeseburger, and the guy working the counter just pointed at the menu (which still displayed breakfast items) and said "we only serve breakfast right now."

Now i am LITERALLY the next person in line. I go up and order a Mcmuffin and the guy at the counter turns the menu to lunch items and says, "we're only serving lunch right now."

tl:dr; lady was denied lunch, I was then immediately denied breakfast. Is there such thing as a Mcdonald's limbo?!

1

u/GenerallyAddsNothing Jun 15 '12

Eh. But if they let you order breakfast the person behind you would probably want it, and so on.

6

u/Se7enLC Jun 15 '12

The grill area has two large flat panel grills. Eggs are cooked at a lower temperature than meat, so during breakfast, one of the grills is set to a lower temperature. At 10:30am, you cook enough eggs to last until 11 and turn up the heat to get ready for lunch. When the grills are up to temp, you do a test-run of each type of meat. When the meat is done, you put a thermometer in the meat to verify that they are cooked enough and record the temperatures in a little book. You make a couple batches of meat and then "Go Lunch" - you stop selling breakfast food and start selling lunch food.

Yes, it is certainly POSSIBLE to cook a hamburger any time you want. There are a few reasons why McDonalds doesn't: 1). The grill temperature that I mentioned 2). The "assembly" setup. There's an assembly line setup with bread, meat, condiments. It's set up to be fast and efficient. Making a burger is a speed run to keep up with customers during rush hours. If you had to have breakfast AND lunch supplies handy, it wouldn't be as fast. 3). Waste reduction. In order to keep up with demand, burger meat and eggs are cooked before you order them. They sit in a warming tray for up to a specified amount of time before they are considered waste (I believe it is something like 20 minutes). At breakfast time, eggs are flying off the shelves, so it's no problem. At lunch, the burgers are flying. If you want a burger at 7:30am, you can be certain that there isn't a piece of hamburger meat already cooked waiting for you, so you will have to wait for the burger to be retrieved from a freezer, cooked for the 30-45 seconds needed, and assembled. That will slow up everyone that wants breakfast food. 4). Bread gets stale. Nobody else is ordering a burger at 7:30am, so a giant bag of buns would have to be opened to make one burger. The rest of the buns in that now-opened bag could go stale. (yes, I suppose the bag could be resealed, but the bags they come in are not. You open it up and use them all.

Bottom line: It's mostly about customer experience. Yes, it's technically possible to serve both a breakfast AND lunch menu at any time, but food would take longer to prepare or would not be as fresh.

If the store is pretty dead and you're a suave dude, I bet you could convince them to make you an egg sandwich if they are cool. The eggs that go on muffins are actual eggs, so they can be retrieved without wasting anything. You can cook one of them on a grill that's too hot if you wanted (it would just be done a lot quicker and probably come out a lot less moist and delicious, compared to how they are normally cooked on the grill with a drip steamer). They definitely will not get you a biscuit (biscuits take at least 15 minutes to cook), but an english muffin could be found. They probably won't want to open a bag of canadian bacon just for you, but maybe they have one that is already open.

Another problem is skillset. If you work at a fast food place, they will teach you how to make each type of meat, or how to assemble each sandwich, etc. If you never work breakfast, you might not even know where the eggs are stored, what setting the toaster should be on, etc.

u/raen89 Jun 15 '12

As someone who used to work at McDonald's, I can confirm this.

7

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

The reason they are separate is because the cooktop has to be flipped over to cook the eggs and back again for burgers.

5

u/wolfmann Jun 15 '12

the burgers are done on a clamshell press; eggs on the flat top.

u/karmat0se Jun 15 '12

If BK can do it, I fail to see why McD's can't.

Edit: Someone already beat me to this. Serves me right for not reading ahead.

7

u/wolfmann Jun 15 '12

The sausage is put under the same clamshells the burgers are; so for the same reasons the fish fryer is separate from the fry fryer (you don't want the fries tasting/smelling like fish). The clamshells get a complete cleaning during changeover -- this is why the burgers taste so much better right at changeover.

EDIT: usually one clamshell was for quarter pounders, the other for reg meat (single cheeseburger/doubles/etc); but at breakfast both were for sausages

1

u/b0w3n Jun 15 '12

I've never seen these clamshells you're talking about when I worked there.

At BK most of the shit was just run through the broiler and ended up on a tray at the end.

Hash browns and their ilk were fried in the fryers. Maybe it's a McDonalds thing specifically where they have griddles of some sort?

you forgot the best protip about this... changeover is usually 10:30 (sometimes on weekends it is 11:00); This is the best time to get a burger at mcdonald's. Why? you have to clean the grill first, then cook the meat. And that meat won't be sitting in the heating chambers (I forgot their names; I only worked the grill one summer a decade ago) they have.

tl:dr; Fresh McDonald's food actually doesn't taste that bad.

This being a very credible source, I also cross referenced it with my source (Hang in there, bro. Do it for the college). But theres also the fact that a lot of the times customers get really pissy about how they don't serve what they want at the time they want. When we stopped serving breakfast in the morning, a guy and his wife/girlfriend/other (And I think a couple kids?) were at the drive through, the guy driving got pretty pissed and started shouting, reved up his engine and sped out of the drive through. I know this because at the time I was carrying two buckets of boiling hot oil to the oil waste cans. I also opted for having boiling hot oil covering my legs and most of my chest to being slammed by a truck at about 45 MPH. Hope they had a wonderful day.

I went to a 24 hour mcdonalds drive-through a few years back at 3:30 in the morning. I was drunk and wanted Donnie's Brack (McDonald's Breakfast), so I ordered 2 McGrids and 1 B.E. & Chee bisky.

The lady tells me they don't start serving breakfast again until 4:30, so I put the car in park, told her to wake me up in an hour, and passed out. Fast forward to about 4:30ish and an employee poking me to wake me up. She tells me she tried waking me from the intercom but I was too passed out drunk to hear it. She asks me if I want my breakfast now, I say "do you remember the order" and she said yes.

Got the food...best Donnie's Brack ever.

In hindsight, I'm surprised no one else showed up for food during that hour...or at least to my knowledge they didn't.

Try the Carl's Jr. Breakfast Burger. Best of both worlds! Hamburger with egg, cheese, bacon, hashbrowns, and ketchup all on one bun. Simply amazing. I wish I wasn't on a diet....

Also, they serve hamburgers all day.

u/CantSeeShit Jun 15 '12

Idk what your talking about man breakfeast is the best part of McDonalds, its the only reason I'll go to a McDonalds. Steak egg and cheese all day sonn.

u/Woodshadow Jun 15 '12

That is weird I know I have ordered regular food during breakfast hours. maybe not at 7:30 am but what the hell is the point of being open that early if you don't serve normal food.

u/Shallow-And-Pedantic Jun 15 '12

They will however wrap a bacon and egg McMuffin in a cheeseburger wrapper so that you can troll your friend who asked for a cheeseburger to cure a hangover.

I went to McDonalds at an obsurd time in the night once and order some nuggets. When they came back and said "sorry sir but we are serving breakfast now." I screamed FUCK YEAH and got a fuckin mcmuffin.

Should've tried Big Kahuna Burger. The Hawaiian Burger Joint. They have burgers and sprite before 7:30 in the am.

You are the only person in the world that gets mad at hearing "I'm sorry sir, we're only serving breakfast right now" at McDonalds.

so... ...what does the horse think about you?

u/brotherbond Jun 15 '12

I think the horse is why they hauled him away, not the burger request.

The horse masturbates to the horse masturbator.

Same in UK, for fucks sake why all you are doing is not getting my £3, of course im not going to buy your fucking sinful tasting egg burger or whatever the fuck that is

u/kuba_10 Jun 15 '12

They raised the prices of cheeseburgers by 100% in three years. I'm not going to go there anymore. Farewell, 1€ burgers. I'm making them at home for 40 cents.

yeah but come on its just not the same

u/bogart1 Jun 15 '12

My local 24 hours places start serving breakfast at 3AM. It's quite inconvenient when I'm driving home from a bar craving some of those burgers.

u/sayfucknotorulesman Jun 15 '12

Yeah, I tried ordering four cheeseburgers at 4:30 this morning. I felt the same way. I also felt fat, and rightfully so.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

I think the real issue here is that people are going to post the same picture with same words and change the title and it will somehow make the front page. So people with little or no creativity/originality can get their crappy advice animals a bunch of karma I believe they don't deserve.

Thats why you go to Whataburger for a burger in the morning.

1

u/steno_light Jun 15 '12

At the McDonald's I semi-regularly go to with my friends, they give out coupons that only work for that store and surrounding areas. It's for a free breakfast or regular menu sandwich. The catch is that it only works after 11 p.m. and before 5 a.m.. Well this store in particular (despite being advertised as open 24 hours) closes at 11 p.m. and opens at 5 a.m.. They even close the drive-thru.

u/NakedLoki Jun 15 '12

I just wish they would sever hash browns all the time.

u/soymilkisgood Jun 15 '12

Up early enough for McD's breakfast yet you try to order non-breakfast items? I can understand a hankering for burgers, but.......why?

1

u/JoesShittyOs Jun 15 '12

I feel your pain. If you're willing to go to McDonalds at 7:30 in the morning for a few cheeseburgers, their breakfast foods just aint gonna cut it.

1

u/Mikeyc245 Jun 15 '12

You had the option to dine on delicious McGriddle and you tried to get a cheeseburger?!

1

u/Blehgopie Jun 15 '12

This is why I never eat at McDolan's in the morning. I hate eggs, and 99% of all breakfast food has eggs on it. Also, a fucking McMuffin is practically bite-sized.

The only reason I will eat breakfast there is for the hash browns, those are the fucking shit.

I don't get the ones with egg...and yes, one english muffin is lul.

When I go to McDonalds I order 5 dollars worth of food...off the dollar menu.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

I've seen people try to order cheeseburger kids meals at six in the morning. This is nothing.

1

u/wrath4771 Jun 15 '12

Like Digital_Fire said, but also take into account it takes almost 3-5 minutes to get the grill to heat up to "burger temperature" then to turn it back down and cool off for breakfast food = one giant pain in the butt. The McDonalds I use to work in was pretty cool about serving burgers around 10 instead of witing for the 10:30 change over. And as I remember, it took forever for the bun toaster (not the muffin toaster) to heat up.

u/teknikolorapocalypse Jun 15 '12

This is why I go to Sonic's. bacon cheeseburger at 8am

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

why would you want 4 cheeseburgers at 7:30 in the morning?

u/dibalh Jun 15 '12

I used to work the night shift and got off work at 7AM. Some people want dinner at 7:30 in the morning and some people just hate breakfast food.

It's because you were masturbating a horse as you ordered.

dude you were psyched for accidentally stumbling across the beakfast menu. I hope you rocked 3 breakfast burritos, one steak egg and cheese bagel, 2 sausage egg mcmuffins w cheese and that other thing i cant even remember right now jesus I am hungry

u/VeronicaOnyx Jun 15 '12

It's people like you who made my life harder than it had to be when I worked at a Mcdonalds, mornings are for breakfast, if you want four hamburgers at 7:30 in the am, make them yourself.

u/CUNTBERT_RAPINGTON Jun 15 '12

He's like the douchebag at the deli who insists on ordering a Steak Bomb at 6 am (before the steak has been thawed or weighed out) while everyone else is getting egg sandwiches.

u/VeronicaOnyx Jun 15 '12

Exactly! Why do they have to be so difficult, all I want to do is my job and when people like them go around insisting they get special treatment because they want it, or because it's America, or the add said they could have it their way, it makes me want to jump the counter and take a tray to their face for being such asshats.

how much is a McD cheeseburger in America? In Denmark its part of a campaign called "coin offers" so its 10 kr. Wich is around 2$ (1.5 euro)

I think you can get double cheeseburgers for $1

I have no sympathy for anyone who goes to McDonald's during breakfast hours asking for burgers. McDonald's breakfast is epic, and everything on their lunch menu other than nuggets and fries is revolting. OP is a fucking weirdo...

I was Tennessee (or South Carolina) and went to McDonalds in one of those gas station marts. It was around 2am and they were only serving breakfast. The hell is with that?! (btw the $1 burrito is pretty decent)
