McDonald’s serves more than 60 million customers a day, in more than a hundred countries around the world, the corporation has approximately 36,615 points. First of all, the fast food chain prepares hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, McChicken, Chicken McNuggets, milkshakes and more. Restaurants are operated either by franchises or by affiliates of McDonald’s itself. McDonald’s profits come from rents and fees paid by franchisees, as well as sales in their own restaurants.
The business began back in 1940, when brothers Richard and Maurice MacDonald opened the most ordinary restaurant. In 1948, the standards of the current “fast food” cafe began to be introduced into it, and the principles of food preparation became conveyor belts to speed up the process. In March 1953, McDnalds’ initial mascot was a man with a chef’s hat on his head, his name was “Speedee”, but in the end, by 1967, he was replaced by Ronald McDonald, the clown.
