After shutting down for three months to make renovations, in the December of 1948, they reopened as McDonald’s. In only a decade after that, they were able to open 100 McDonald’s restaurants and sell over 100 million hamburgers. As the years went on, they opened even more restaurants not only nationwide, but also around the world. They introduced memorable mascots such as Ronald McDonald, provided new options such as the famous Big Mac, and began giving to those needy with the construction of McDonald Houses. Later on they went to acquire other businesses such as The Boston Market, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Donatos Pizzeria, “in an attempt to diversify its operation” (“McDonald’s Corporation”).

Brief description of the company: McDonald’s is the leading global foodservice retailer with more than 34,000 local restaurants serving approximately 69 million people in 118 countries each day. More than 80% of McDonald’s restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent local men and women. b. Company History: Dick and Mac McDonald opened their eponymous burger stand in 1948 in San Bernardino, California. Under the guidance of Ray Kroc, a onetime milkshake-mixer salesman wowed by the restaurant's success, McDonald's franchises grew swiftly: by the end of the 1960s, there were more than 1,000 across the U.S. The first international franchise opened in 1967 in British Columbia, and was followed by another in Costa Rica later that year. From there, the chain spread steadily: over a six-month period in 1971, Golden Arches popped up on three new continents, as stores launched in Japan, Holland and a suburb of Sydney. A Brazilian McDonald's opened in 1979, bringing Ronald McDonald to South America for the first time. McDonald's reached its sixth (and, barring a sub-Arctic drive-thru, final) continent in 1992, with the opening of a restaurant in Casablanca, Morocco. Four years later, the company heralded the expansion into its 100th nation...

...Business Strategy Analysis: McDonald’s Corporation is the world’s largest fast-food chain in the restaurant industry, serving on average 69 million customers a day. Their stores are corporate or franchised owned, with franchising being highly beneficial to their success by producing 32% of their total revenue. McDonald’s is in a highly competitive industry with market saturation because of low barriers to enter. The industry competes on price, quality, and service. McDonald’s faces competition with full-service restaurants and fast-food restaurants in the area. Their main competitors are Burger King, YUM! Brands, and Wendy’s International. The industry has faced scrutiny on the quality of their products because of a more health concise society. McDonald’s strategy for success is based off of cost efficiency, product development, and marketing and promotions. These factors help form the strong brand that McDonald’s is today. Since their establishment with Ray Kroc, they have focused on driving their success from the 3-legged stool principal representing: McDonald’s employees, the owner/operators, and their suppliers. The stool needs all three to have a good balance in order to function, without either one of the legs success cannot be achieved. All three of them work together to create new products, to reduce costs, and to achieve outstanding customer service. There is commitment in helping all three legs of the stool to succeed.

This paper will explore how the two companies responded to the macroeconomic conditions in terms of their stock performance, current and future sales revenue, current and future products, labor costs and hiring decisions. 1.1 The Current Economic Conditions The current macroeconomic situation is fragile. The US economy is clearly in terrible shape, but what is unclear is how we got there. Many experts trace the origins of the current economic situation to the housing bubble that came about earlier this decade (Tanneeru, M). According to the estimate, the real GDP of the US increased .25 of 1 percent over its level in the 1st quarter of 2011. The growth rate of the economy is still volatile and while any increases in real GDP are welcome, they are not sufficient to reduce the unemployment pool (Watkins, T, 2011). 1.2 McDonald’s and Verizon McDonald’s Corporation franchises and operates McDonald’s restaurants in the global restaurant industry. They serve a varied, limited, value-priced menu in more than 1,000 countries worldwide. By adding Dollar Menu items and introducing high-margin beverages such as coffee and fruit smoothies, McDonald’s has broadened its appeal beyond the young men who account for the biggest share of sales at mother other fast food chains (Reuters, 2011).

...In the case of Pelman v. McDonald’s Corp, the parents of two teenage girls claim that McDonalds was responsible for their daughter’s obesity. One of the girls said that a “McMuffin for breakfast and a Big Mac meal for dinner was her regular diet.” (Wald, 2003) While the other one would eat Happy Meals three to four times a week. When this case went in front of the court, Judge Robert W. Sweet stated this “opinion is guided by the principle that legal consequences should not attach to the consumption of hamburgers and other fast food fare unless consumers are unaware of the dangers of eating such food.” (McLean, 2003) He felt that if consumers knew the potential risks of eating McDonald’s, they wouldn’t be able to blame McDonald’s when they supersize their meals. There were many counts that were brought up in the lawsuit: Counts I and II stating that the value meal was not actually a value, therefore they were deceiving their customers; Count III stated that they were negligent because their food products were “high in cholesterol, fat, salt and sugar when studies show that such foods cause obesity and detrimental health effects”; (McLean, 2003) Count IV stated that McDonald’s failed to warn their customers that their food products could cause health problems and cause individuals to become obese; and Count V stated that McDonald’s failed to market their food products as addictive, both physically and psychologically. This case was dismissed in court in 2003. Judge...

...Bayswater Andrés Lema Eric Shoubridge Farhana Aslam Felipe Hessel Rosa Montes Todd Hanlon 5th December 2012 1: The Financial, Business and Economic Environment for McDonald’s Introduction: The Fast Food Industry and McDonald’s The modern system of fast food franchising is believed to have started in the mid 1930’s when Howard Johnson franchised his second location to a friend as a means to expand operations during the Great Depression. In addition, the drive-thru concept brought explosive growth through delivering food-on-the go. “Fast Food” was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 1951, and U.S. fast food companies are now franchised in over 100 countries. In the U.S. alone there are over 200,000 restaurant locations. Revenue has grown from $6 billion in 1970 to $160 billion in 2011, an 8.6% annualized rate (Sena, 2012). Fast food franchises focus on delivering high volume, low cost, and high speed products. Frequently, food is preheated or precooked and served to-go, though many locations also offer seating for onsite consumption. With all stands, kiosks, or sit-down locations, food is standardized and shipped from central distribution points. Consumers enjoy being able to get a familiar meal in each location, and menus and marketing are the same across all stores (Sena, 2012). McDonald’s (MCD) was founded in California in 1940 under the name “McDonald’s Bar-B-Q”. The original founders, Dick and Mac McDonald, reopened the restaurant in 1948 as a drive-in boasting...
