Youdon'thavetobeafastfood fanatictoknowwhat McDonald'sis,mostpeople recognizewhatthatyellow“M”stands for.Suchisthebrandpresenceofthe world'slargestfast-foodchaintoday.
TheveryfirstMcDonald'swasopened on15thApril1955,inSanBernardino, California,bythesiblingsRichardand MauriceMcDonald.Atthetime,itused toserveslow-cookedbarbecueandhad noindoorseating.Whichisnothinglike theMcDonald'softoday.Despitethe limitations,theirbusinessgrewquickly, andsalesnumberswereimpressive.
Soonthecompetitionincreased,andthe brothersneededaplantokeepupwith it.Theyrealizedthatthemajorityof theirsaleswerefromhamburgers(over 80%).Theydecidedtoadoptanew strategybasedonthreefactors:speed, lowerprices,andvolume.Italso includedasystemcalledthe“Speedee ServiceSystem”developedbythe brothers,whichhelpedtheirgrowth significantly.
Toboosttheoperationspeedfurther, theyrevampedtheirbusinessintoaselfservicerestaurant.Itwasthenew McDonald'swherepeopleorderedatthe windowandsilverwareandplateswere replacedwithpaperwrapsandcups.The Menuwascutshortwithjustnineitems thatincluded:Hamburgers, cheeseburgers,threesoftdrinks,milk, coffee,pie,andpotatochips.
Theirnewstrategyworked.Thebrothers doubledMcDonald'sprofitsandhad numerousfranchisesinArizonaand California.Impressedbytheirgrowth
andspeedyoperations,anentrepreneur namedRayKrocapproachedthemand becameitsfranchiseagentin1954.He openedhisfirstMcDonald'sinDes Plaines,Illinois,in1955.
RayCrocwasavisionarymanwitha firmbeliefininnovation.In1961,he boughtthecompanyfromthe McDonald'sbrothersfor$2.7million. Hethenquicklybecameamajorfigure thatrepresentedthebrand, overshadowingthesiblings.After sellingthebusinesstoRay,thebrothers startedcallingtheoriginalSan Bernardinooutlet—BigM.Annoyedby this,andtoone-upthebrothers,Croc openedtheMcDonald'sonthesame block,eventuallyforcingthesiblingsout ofbusiness.
Crocpredictedthatthefranchise businesshadhugepotential,especially becauseofitseasilyreplicablemenu. Stayingtruetohisvision,Crocfounded theFranchiseRealtyCorporationwhich tookcareofthecompany'srealestate dealsandalsoboostedthefranchise numbers.

RayCrocenvisionedthattherewillbe1000McDonald'sintheUnitedStates.Ifyoulook atthenumberstoday,thereareover38,700restaurantsinmorethan100countries.Many factorscontributedtothepopularityofMcDonald's,let'shavealookatthem:
Historically, the McD Menu has undergone multiple revamps. The brothers wanted to simplify the menu and in doing so, they often went for dishes that were easier to make. In doing so, the menu became easy to replicate and appealed to potential franchise owners, and helped them expand their business through franchisees.
You rarely have to wait in line at their restaurant to get your order. This is because of The Speedee system. The system was unlike anything other restaurants were using at the time. Instead of one expert cook, many unskilled people were employed that were capable of doing specic tasks. It allowed them to assemble the dishes and execute tasks quickly. Today, many restaurants have successfully adopted this system.
Originally, the whole idea of the restaurant was built around fast food, where people would buy the meals and leave. Many methods were used to stop customers from lingering at the restaurant to make space for new ones. This unique approach also helped them increase their business.
The presence and the brand presence of McDonald's is one of the best globally. The red and yellow colors of the brand are engraved in the minds of millions of people globally. Branding played a major role in this. Instead of directly positioning them as better than their competitors, the brand chose to highlight how it provides more value than everyone. The experience at the restaurant, and their advertisement all are made in such a way that leaves a lasting impression on you.
McDonald's wasn't an overnight success. The brand faced many blockades along the way to its success. To tackle some of the challenges, the restaurant curated and started to serve a menu based on what country and its culture. This helped them appeal to a wider audience and is one of the major reasons for their global success.
