Inside McDonald's Billion Dollar Empire - Documentary Films

McDonald's is a famous fast food restaurant known in 119 nations around the world. They are best known for their hamburgers and strong branding. Their most recognizable brand is the Golden Arches closely followed by the clown character called Ronald McDonald.

Dick and Mac Mcdonald were two brothers who started the McDonald's brand in California after moving their hotdog stand to San Bernadino from Monrovia Airport. After realizing that hamburgers were their most popular product, the brothers reinvented their restaurant using their Speedee Service System in 1948. It was a concept that created a production line of hamburgers that were made before being ordered. This concept pioneered the fast food industry and was in complete contrast to most restaurants that only prepared food after the customer had placed their order.

A history was created by McDonald's system that helped them to undercut competitors by as much as 50%. The growing volumes helped them to reduce more costs from the economies of scale. This was an advantage that is a success for McDonald's till now.

The entry of Ray Kroc into the business was a significant development in the history of McDonald's. He brought the rights that helped McDonald's to expand their concept outside California and Arizona. A restaurant chain was quickly built and more than 100 restaurants were in operation by 1959.

Ray Kroc bought the McDonald brothers in 1961. However the negotiations did not went well and McDonald brothers lost all the royalties and rights to the brand they had started. The separation ways between Kroc and the McDonald brothers was not very pleasant. This resulted in Kroc building and then managing the opening of a new outlet of McDonald's near the last remaining store of McDonald brothers.

The historians and biographers had perceived this move as incredibly insignificant. They compared it with kicking a man when he is already down. Any malicious behavior on the part of Kroc was denied by the McDonald's Corporation. They preferred to strike out McDonald brothers from the corporate history. Family members of McDonald have written about the deal between the brothers and Kroc. They appeared on talk shows for promoting their side of story.

McDonald's Corporation pioneers the training of its franchise owners in 1961 with the opening of Hamburger University. This move was aimed to maintain manager and franchisee loyalty in spite of a highly competitive market.

The introduction of Ronald McDonald as a brand face and the release of the Big Mac burger were seen in the 1960s. The launch of Big Mac burger has grown turning out to become the most popular burger of McDonald's.

History of McDonalds Drive Through

History of McDonalds Drive-Thru - DOCS CHANNEL

A drive-through, or drive-thru, is a sort of solution provided by a company that enables consumers to acquire products without leaving their cars. The format was originated in the United States in the 1930s by Jordan Martin, yet has considering that spread to other nations. The first tape-recorded usage of a bank using a drive-up home window bank clerk was the Grand National Bank of St. Louis, Missouri in 1930. The drive-up bank clerk allowed just down payments during that time.

Orders are normally put making use of a microphone and picked up personally at the home window. A drive-through is different from a drive-in in a number of ways - the automobiles develop a line and relocate one direction in drive-throughs, as well as do not park, whereas drive-ins permit cars to park beside each other, the food is typically offered the home window by a web server, called a carhop, and the consumer could remain in the parked automobile to eat.

Drive-throughs have actually typically changed drive-ins in popular culture, and are now discovered in the substantial bulk of modern-day American fast-food chains. In some cases, a store with a drive-through is referred to as a "drive-through," or the term is connected to the service, such as, "drive-through restaurant," or "drive-through financial institution.".

Drive-throughs normally have signs over the drive-through lanes to reveal customers which lanes are open for company. The sorts of signs made use of is normally lit up so the "open" message can be changed to a "closed" message when the street is not readily available.
