CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION

Overview of Mc Donald’s

1. History

Early history In 1937, Patrick McDonald opened "The Airdrome" restaurant at the Monrovia Airport in Monrovia, California. Hamburgers were ten cents, and all-you-can-drink orange juice was five cents. In 1940 his two sons, Maurice and Richard ("Mac" and "Dick"), moved the entire building 40 miles (64 km) to the corner of 14th and E Streets in San Bernardino, California. The restaurant was renamed "McDonald's".

In 1948, Mac and Dick McDonald introduced the "Speedee Service System", which established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant. In 1954, Ray Kroc, a seller of Multimixer milkshake machines, learned that the McDonald brothers were using eight of his high-tech Multimixers in their San Bernardino restaurant. His curiosity was piqued, and he went to San Bernardino to take a look at the McDonalds' restaurant.

The McDonald brothers had been in the restaurant business since 1937. In 1948, they closed down a successful carhop drive-in to establish the streamlined operation Ray Kroc saw in 1954.

Phenomenal growth in the 1960s and 1970s

In 1960, the McDonald's advertising campaign "Look for the Golden Arches" gave sales a big boost. Kroc believed that advertising was an investment that would in the end come back many times over, and advertising has always played a key role in the development of the McDonald's Corporation. Indeed, McDonald's ads have been some of the most identifiable over the years. In 1962, McDonald's introduced its now world-famous Golden Arches logo. A year later, the

    Consumers are effectively able to correctly identify McDonalds based on its products, taglines, services and campaigns. According to the article, “McDonald's Brand Strength Still Dominates Its Peers”, McDonald's spent $787.5 million on advertising in 2012, which was much higher than its competitor Burger King, which spent $48.3 million. Brand recognition has a direct correlation to revenue as the same article reported that in 2013, the average revenue for a domestic McDonald's restaurant versus a domestic Burger King restaurant: $2.6 million vs. $1.12 million. McDonalds understands the strength in brand recognition and knows how to cater to its different audiences, which is why to date, McDonalds has had more than 23 slogans, which vary depending on the country it’s reaching.…

    McDonald’s Corporation: A strategic approach to global growth McDonald’s Corporation (McDonald’s) is the world’s leading global foodservice retailer with more than 33 500 restaurants serving nearly 68 million people in 119 countries each day (McDonald’s 2012a). In 2011 the company generated USD 27 billion in revenue from its global operations and USD 8.5 billion of operating profit. Headquartered in the United States, McDonald’s Bar-B-Q restaurant was opened in California in 1940 by brothers Richard (Dick) and Maurice (Mac) McDonald as a typical drive-in featuring a large menu and car hop service (where customers stay in their car and are served their food). In 1948 the brothers closed the business for three months of renovations and reorganised the business as a hamburger restaurant, using production line principles and featuring a simple menu of nine items including the staple 15 cent hamburger, cheeseburger, soft drinks, milk, coffee, potato chips and a slice of pie. In 1954 Ray Kroc, a salesman for Prince Castle Multi-Mixer, visited the restaurant intending to sell the brothers some items. Kroc was fascinated by the operations and learned that the brothers were looking for a franchising agent to expand their restaurant chain nationally. Kroc joined the company in 1955 as National Franchising Agent, and opened his first McDonald’s in Illinois. He subsequently purchased the chain from the McDonald brothers. McDonald’s Corporation was created in 1965 when the company had its first public stock offering on the New York Stock Exchange at USD 22.50 per share (McDonald’s 2012b). The famous ‘golden arches’ of McDonald’s were created in 1969 when the company’s logo underwent a major change, and remodelling of the restaurants was also undertaken to re-brand the…
