The History of McDonald’s

McDonald’s was founded in 1940 by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California. The restaurant was originally a drive-in called McDonald’s Bar-B-Q, but the brothers soon realized that most of their profits came from hamburgers, so they decided to change the menu. They also implemented a unique system of preparation and service that would become the cornerstone of the McDonald’s brand.

The system was based on what the brothers called the “Speedee Service System.” This involved simplifying the menu, using assembly-line techniques to prepare food quickly, and using disposable cups and plates to reduce cleaning time. The system was a huge success, and the McDonald’s restaurant became a popular destination for families and teenagers looking for a quick meal.

In the 1950s, the McDonald’s brand began to expand across the United States. The company began franchising its restaurants, allowing local entrepreneurs to open their own McDonald’s locations. By the end of the decade, there were over 100 McDonald’s restaurants across the country.

In the 1960s, McDonald’s continued to grow rapidly, opening its first international location in Canada. The company also introduced new menu items, including the Big Mac, which quickly became a fan favorite. By the end of the decade, there were over 1,000 McDonald’s restaurants in the United States.

Today, McDonald’s is a global brand with over 38,000 locations in more than 100 countries. Despite its massive size, the company still maintains its commitment to fast service and affordable prices.
