The Success Of The Mcdonald Brothers

McDonald is a famous fast food chain that started as a little hot-dog stand operated by the brothers of McDonald, Richard and Maurice. Raymond Albert Kroc, which was a distributor of a milk shake maker called the Multi-Mixer, saw the potential of the McDonald who had purchased 8 of his Multi-Mixers after Kroc visited their store at San Bernardino. (----) He was convinced that this could become an exploding potential across the globe and he offered his service to the brothers who were looking for a new franchising agent.

It was designed for quick service, yet having great food to eat. That right there, will come back years later to haunt Americans. With a small menu of only 9 items, there was one food item that stuck out like a sore thumb when it came to the sales charts. That item would be the delicious fifteen cent hamburger. By 1958, McDonalds sold 100 million hamburgers. Over the years, they opened many more restaurants. Not only were they selling, they were expanding. Business was booming, so they had no choice rather than to expand their services. In the very next year, they had opened their 100th McDonalds restaurant. All this was in just four years, if time could tell how quickly things change, lets skip ahead another three years. The year 1962 truly marked an era of how Americans are today. Lazy and arrogant! A Denver, Colorado McDonalds introduced indoor seating for their McDonalds restaurant. This seems like everyday dining for most of everybody reading this. With just one food chain opening up, surely it could not be the only cause of obesity rates in the United States. Please remember, McDonalds is not the only fast food chain around. They inspired others along with their success. Burger King, Checkers, Hardees, Wendys and Sub Way are just a few example of fast food chains that have began to dominate the food industry.

Fast food has been around since before 1950 and has only grown in popularity since. One of the first and now most popular fast food restaurant is McDonalds. Opened by the McDonald brothers in 1948 as a small restaurant chain in California was soon transformed by Ray Kroc into the corporation many Americans know today as McDonald 's. After the opening and growth of McDonald 's, many other restaurants began to follow the same system as them. This resulted in Wendy 's, Burger King, the growth of White Castle, and many other very popular fast food establishments all over the United States. Fast food chains easy access to fast, good, and easy food has fueled the growth in these places and the negative health results that come from them. Since

Since Richard and Maurice McDonald founded in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a small restaurant in California into one of the most recognized brands in the world with a chain of outlets that spans the globe. For over 50 years, McDonald's defined the fast food industry while indelibly etching its golden arches logo on the face of both American and global culture through such icons as character Ronald McDonald and the Big Mac sandwich. Millions of people started their very first jobs at McDonalds while even more began to have their eating habits redefined by the chain. Concepts like the drive-thru window were introduced along with the Happy Meal for children in order to provide a fast, affordable, and enjoyable dining. Ray Kroc, saleman

According to livinghistoryfarm, a non profit organization. The fast food industry was not popularized until the 1950s; the food was prepared and served for those who did not have time to sit down for a real meal. With the invention of the drive through order, fast food restaurants were able to sky rocket their sales and slowly become one of the most convenient restaurants in America. With such an invention, there is a big problem that the fast food industries have created over the decades. Easy access, quick, the fast food industries have contributed to the epidemic of obesity in America.

First, Schlosser and Wilson describe the history of fast food. Everything started with a fifteen-year-old boy named Charlie Nagreen at a county fair squishing a meatball between two slices of bread, creating the hamburger. The authors then go on to talk about how McDonald’s was the first restaurant to introduce a quick system for customers to get their food. After seeing the success of the McDonald brothers, a businessman named Ray Kroc made a deal with them to travel the country, spreading the chain. Later, Ray Kroc would buy McDonald’s from the McDonald brothers. When other restaurants, such as Wendy’s and Burger King, saw the success of McDonald’s, they began to do the same thing, having a chain of identical restaurants across the United States. Not only did restaurants adopt this idea of complete sameness, but so did other companies such as

“McDonald’s.” When people hear that word, the first things they visualize are the Golden Arches, the Big Mac, or Ronald McDonald. McDonald 's has had a profound effect on the fast-food industry and on the U.S.; in the 20th century, the creators/owners of McDonald 's, Richard McDonald, Maurice McDonald, and Ray Kroc (a traveling salesman) created the Speedee Service System, which made restaurants like a factory, and improved on franchising, an easy way to set up businesses and make money. Other restaurants began basing themselves off of McDonald’s. As of McDonald’s influence on America: “We believe that the McDonald’s brand is… omnipresent… in America,”

    Since it first opened its doors in 1940, by Richard and Maurice McDonald, with its single location in San Bernardino California, Mcdonald 's has been luring the working class into their restaurants by offering hot and ready meals for a reasonable price. Now almost eight decades later, with over 36.000 locations in 120 countries. Mcdonald 's restaurants are everywhere Airports, Walmarts, gas stations, shopping malls, train stations, amusement parks, even hospitals.  How is it that Mcdonald 's are everywhere? As modern lifestyle continues to evolve, the working class American, with its increasingly busy schedule, food has become a burden with both parents working full-time jobs to

McDonald's restaurants feed more than a million of peoples around the world everyday. Almost everyone in the United States will see the Golden Arches( symbol of McDonald’s) every where; whether, they are on their way back home from work or going somewhere. The reason why peoples starting to like McDonald more and more are because of the restaurant location, food cost and

McDonald’s began as a barbeque, and the brothers strictly offered burgers, fries, and pop. Ray Kroc heard about McDonald’s one day and went to visit the restaurant. Kroc was surprised by their efficiency and the quality of the food. Kroc liked the fact that the brothers could focus on the quality of food, due to the limited menu items. Subsequently Kroc realized their success could amount to much more and shared his vision. Kroc told the McDonald brothers that McDonald’s could be a national business serving people across the country. (At this point, Kroc did not even think about being international). Dick and Mac were thrilled with what they heard, so in 1955 Kroc founded the McDonald’s Corporation and opened the first McDonald’s in Des Plaines, Illinois. By 1960 Kroc had bought exclusive rights to McDonald’s. In 1961, Kroc developed Hamburger University where new employees were trained on how to run a successful McDonald's. Kroc wanted to develop the most efficient methods to store, cook, and sell food, so he had a laboratory built at Hamburger University where students' test different ways to make McDonald's more productive. Hamburger University is still in use today in the search for ways to better McDonald’s. McDonald’s had their first sit-down restaurant in 1962, and then in 1975, McDonald’s had opened their first drive-thru restaurant in Arizona. The first drive-thru restaurant was

Fast food, as we know it, exists because of changes leading up to, during, and slightly after World War Two. With the war 's pressure on efficiency and production in the farming industry as well as the numerous factors contributing to America 's rise from a depression the country saw a boom in spending power and food production. With the mindset of efficiency and convenience prevailing in the American household a whole new type of restaurant was born, the drive-through. From the drive-through many major fast food businesses were born, and through franchising they spread across the country. As fast food and the franchise grew, businesses throughout the country adapted; The model of success changed along with the production and packing industries throughout the U.S. Stockyards and factories condensed and moved closer to sources, and production further centralized. Fast food continued to grow, affecting the eating habits and popular culture of America in countless ways across decades of business and advertising. Fast food is still present in the lives of most people today, and continues to further improve on the efficiency and convenience of its predecessors.

McDonald's has had a global impact on the food industry. McDonald's developed a revolutionary idea known today as fast-food. This impact began in 1930 when Maurice and Richard McDonald left New Hampshire seeking to make a fortune in Hollywood, started up a drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino. Unlike so many other food-service operations at the time, McDonald's came up with new ideas that turned the usual slow paced dinner into a finely tuned engine.

McDonald has been a well-known and valuable brand for over half a century. The company’s mission and vision is striving to be the world’s best quick service restaurant and formalizing their beliefs into “People, Vision, and People Promise”. “Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value” also became the company’s motto. The company’s first McDonald store was built “in 1940 by the original McDonald brothers, Dick and Mac. Later in 1954, Ray Kroc became the first official franchisee appointed by Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California” (Chandiramani, Ravi). Soon after, Mr. Kroc opened his first restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois, and the McDonald’s corporation was created. The new franchise began to grow rapidly as a result of its
