McDonalds and Fast Food Before Ray Kroc
Before Ray Kroc came upon McDonalds it was just a small family owned local business. Fast Food in general was not very popular. McDonalds had a limited menu and no sit down area. Today McDonalds has a very diverse menu, sit down areas, 25,000 locations around the world including in 118 other countries. Ray changed the world of fast food forever. It now became popular all over the world and you no longer needed to sit down and wait to eat. Today Ray is known as a role model who not only was a sucessful business man but a good teacher to his workers. 1 in 8 Americans have worked at McDonalds and some lessons they learn are work hard smile often and take pride in a job well done no matter how small. Ray inspired other big companies such as Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, and Subway to go global. Ray change what was a business known but only hundreds of people to a business with a symbol that 95 percent of people recognize.
What made Ray a better business man than the others were his consistence, high quality, and his unique methods to serve what he wanted.
