As an AI language model, I cannot perform the activity mentioned in the prompt since I don't have physical senses to go to the restaurant and order food. However, I can still provide a general answer to the questions given.

1. Based on the given activities, we can compare Jollibee's and McDonald's services as follows:

- Ordering: This activity involves taking the customer's order. Both fast food chains have efficient ordering systems, but McDonald's has an advantage as they offer self-service kiosks that allow customers to place their orders without the help of a cashier.

- Payment: Both fast food chains accept different modes of payment, including cash and credit cards. However, McDonald's has an advantage again as they also offer mobile payments and Apple Pay, which provides convenience to customers.

- Waiting Time: This activity involves the time the customer waits for their food to be prepared. The waiting time may vary depending on the customer flow, the number of orders, and other factors. Nevertheless, both fast food chains make an effort to serve their customers quickly, but Jollibee has a better waiting time as they have more staff and fewer customers.

- Pick-up: This activity involves giving the customer their food order. Both fast food chains have designated pick-up counters, but Jollibee takes the lead as they have a more organized system and helpful staff.

2. The rating for customer service of each fast food chain may vary based on individual experiences. However, on a scale of 1 to 10, McDonald's would get a rating of 8, and Jollibee would get a rating of 7. The two fast food chains' customer service is commendable, but McDonald's is ahead due to its technology-driven solutions, while Jollibee needs to improve its waiting time and queueing system.

3. To improve their services, Jollibee might consider investing in technology solutions to speed up the ordering and payment process. Additionally, they could also train their staff to be more efficient and provide better customer service. McDonald's could also enhance its customer service by improving its waiting time, especially during peak hours, and focusing on staff training to ensure that all customers receive excellent service.
