McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD) is the world's largest chain of fast-food restaurants, selling primarily variations on meals consisting of hamburgers, french fries and carbonated drinks. Contrary to popular belief, the first McDonalds restaurant was not a hot dog stand. While some branches of the restaurant also sell a limited range of vegetarian food and more healthy offerings like fruit and milk, the company is associated with its standardized menu and commitment to fast service.
The business was founded in 1940 with a restaurant opened by siblings Dick and Mac McDonald. It was their introction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 that established the principles of the fast-food restaurant. However, the company today dates its "founding" to the opening of CEO Ray Kroc's first franchised restaurant, the company's ninth, in 1955. He opened his first McDonald's in Des Plaines, Illinois in April 1955.
As the first and largest international fast food franchise, McDonald's has become a focal point in public debate about rising obesity rates, corporate ethics and consumer responsibility. This is discussed in detail under Criticisms.
Corporate overview
McDonald's restaurants are found in 119 countries and territories around the world and serve nearly 50 million customers each day. The company also operates other restaurant brands, such as Aroma Café and Boston Market, and has a minority stake in Pret a Manger. The company owned a majority stake in Chipotle Mexican Grill through the spring of 2006, when it was in the process of selling its stake. Until December 2003, it also owned Donatos Pizza. It also has a subsidiary, Redbox, which started in 2003 as 18-foot (5.5 m) wide automated convenience stores, but as of 2005, has focused on DVD rental machines.
Most standalone McDonald's restaurants offer both counter and drive-through service, with indoor and sometimes outdoor seating. Drive-Thru, Auto-Mac, Pay and Drive or McDrive as it is known in many countries, often has separate stations for placing, paying for, and picking up orders, though the latter two steps are frequently combined. In some countries "McDrive" locations near highways offer no counter service or seating. In contrast, locations in high-density city neighborhoods often omit drive-through service. There are also a few locations, located mostly in downtown districts, that offer Walk-Thru service in place of Drive-Thru.
Specially themed restaurants also exist, such as "Rock-and-Roll McDonald's" 1950s themed restaurants. Some McDonald's in suburban areas and certain cities feature large indoor or outdoor playgrounds, called "McDonald's PlayPlace" (if indoors) or "Playland" (outdoors). The first PlayPlace with the familiar crawl-tube design with ball pits and slides was introced in 1987 in the USA, with many more being constructed soon after. Some PlayPlace playgrounds have been renovated into "R Gym" areas, which emphasize physical activity. [1] The McDonald's Corporation's business model is slightly different from that of most other fast-food chains. In addition to ordinary franchise fees, supplies, and percentage of sales, McDonald's also collects rent, partially linked to sales. As a condition of the franchise agreement, the Corporation owns the properties on which most McDonald's franchises are located. The UK business model is different, in that fewer than 30% of restaurants are franchised, with the majority under the ownership of the company. McDonald's trains its franchisees and others at Hamburger University in Oak Brook, Illinois.
According to Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser (2001), nearly one in eight workers in the U.S. have at some time been employed by McDonald's. The book also states that McDonald's is the largest private operator of playgrounds in the U.S., as well as the single largest purchaser of beef, pork, potatoes, and apples. The meats McDonald's uses vary with the culture of the host country.
History
This McDonald's location with a Drive Thru, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is representative of a typical North American location in its appearance.Main article: History of McDonald's McDonald's founders (Dick and Mac McDonald) first venture into the food business was in 1937, when they opened a hot dog stand in Arcadia, California (which they coincidentally purchased from another MacDonald, Erin Elizabeth). They opened the first McDonald's restaurant on May 15, 1940, in San Bernardino, California. Hamburgers proved to be their most popular proct, so in 1948 the brothers introced their "Speedee Service System," a streamlined assembly line for hamburgers that allowed them to proce burgers quickly and inexpensively. Their cheap burgers were very successful, and in 1953 they began to franchise McDonald's restaurants. Entrepreneur Ray Kroc visited the first restaurant in 1953, and sensing its potential, he convinced the brothers to put him in charge of franchising. He later purchased the brothers' interest in the company, and oversaw its worldwide expansion.
Menu
A typical McDonald's MenuMain article: McDonald's menu itemsMcDonald's offers a variety of fast-foods, desserts, and beverages. Some items are only specific to certain regions. From 2005 McDonald's has offered more healthful alternatives, including salads, deli-style rolls, fruit, and a low-fat beef burgers, as well as having made improvements to its regular procts, using low-fat canola oil blend, low-sugar buns, and deli-style bacon. McDonald's has also expanded the McCafé cafe chain in Australia to suburban stores. In the beginning of 2006, McDonald's started printing Nutrition Facts on the packaging of their procts after pressure from groups and indivials who said nutritional information on charts and pamphlets available in the restaurants was not comprehensive enough. Beginning in early 2007, recommended daily intake information will be printed on most packing in Australia.
Pasta Zoo Happy Meals are expected to arrive in Australian McDonald's in late 2006 after several postponements e to incomplete items. It is anticipated that the meals will contain eight pieces of animal-shaped pasta filled with 3 different types of cheese and roasted vegetables, dipping sauce, flavoured 'Sippah' (i.e. low fat milk with a flavoured straw), tongs and a Happy Meal toy. Pasta Zoo is being launched as a healthier alternative to the present Happy Meals.
Global impact
Countries with McDonald's storesMcDonald's has become emblematic of globalization, sometimes referred as the "McDonaldization" of society. The Economist magazine uses the "Big Mac index": the comparison of a Big Mac's cost in various world currencies can be used to informally judge these currencies' purchasing power parity. Because McDonald's is closely identified with United States culture and lifestyle, its international business expansion has been termed part of Americanization and American cultural imperialism. McDonald's remains a target of anti-globalization protesters worldwide.
Thomas Friedman observed that no country with a McDonald's had gone to war with another. His "Golden Arches Theory" has since been disproved, first when the U.S. invaded Panama (which has had McDonald's restaurants since the late-1970s) in 1989, and later when NATO bombed Serbia in 1999.
Some observers have suggested that the company should be given credit for increasing the standard of service in markets it enters. A group of anthropologists in a study entitled Golden Arches East (Stanford University Press, 1998, edited by James L. Watson) looked at the impact McDonald's had on East Asia, and Hong Kong in particular. When it opened in Hong Kong in 1975, McDonald's was the first restaurant to consistently offer clean restrooms, driving customers to demand the same of other restaurants and institutions.
In addition to its effect on business standards, McDonald's has also been instrumental in changing local customs. By popularizing the idea of a quick restaurant meal, Watson's study suggests, McDonald's led to the easing or elimination of various taboos, such as eating while walking in Japan. McDonald's also flattens the social strata ring dining -- there is no problem of losing face for certain customers (who might be embarrassed when someone else ordered a more expensive item in a restaurant); the food at McDonald's is all similarly priced.
The larger McDonald's grows, the more vulnerable it becomes to negative customer perceptions. In light of this, McDonald's has tried to cater to varying cultural requirements, such as by customizing its menu to each country. The introction of the Filet-O-Fish to cater to Catholic abstinence ring Lent is one example of this. However, the company also became involved in controversy when it was revealed that its U.S. french fries were flavored with non-kosher and non-halal beef extract, which greatly upset Muslim, Jewish, Hin and vegetarian customers. It had been claimed that the fries were in fact kosher[citation needed] and vegetarian [2] .
In other cases, the firm has shown itself ready to adjust its business practices. When environmentally damaging packaging and waste proced by the company's restaurants became a public concern, McDonald's started a joint project with Friends of the Earth to eliminate the use of polystyrene containers, only in the United States, and to rece the amount of waste proced.
Criticisms
McDonald's has tried to improve its environmental image.Because McDonald's multi-national, multi-billion dollar business and standardized procts and proceres have come to symbolize globalization and the American way of life, the company has often found itself a target of activism and a focal point of public debate. In particular, it has generated much discussion about corporate ethics, consumer responsibility, obesity, the environment, intellectual property and animal rights.
Since the mid-1990s, a backlash against globalization has been well-documented in the media, on the internet and in books like Naomi Klein's No Logo. McDonald's restaurants have been the targets of protests, peaceful and otherwise, by environmental, anti-globalization and animal rights activists. The company's litigious approach to protecting its business interests has not helped its image in the minds of its opponents.
This conflict, and the company's approach to resolving it, was epitomized in the early 1990s by what came to be known as the McLibel case. Two English activists, David Morris and Helen Steel, distributed leaflets entitled What's wrong with McDonald's? on the streets of London. McDonald's wrote to Steel and Morris demanding they desist and apologise, and, when they refused, sued them for libel.
The trial, lasting more than two years, was described as 'the worst PR disaster in history' for the firm. The company's advertising techniques and business practices were scrutinized in the High Court of Justice in London and reported extensively in the press, who saw the case as a David and Goliath battle (under UK law, legal aid could not be granted for a defamation suit, so Steel and Morris did most of their own legal casework while McDonald's was represented by an extensive legal team).
In June 1997, the judge ruled in favor of McDonald's, awarding the company £60,000 damages, which was later was reced to £40,000 by the Court of Appeal. The amount was low because the judge ruled that some of the claims made by Morris and Steel had been proven, including that McDonald's exploited children in its advertising, was anti-trade union and indirectly exploited and caused suffering to animals. Steel and Morris announced they had no intention of ever paying, and the company later confirmed it would not be pursuing the money.
Steel and Morris later successfully challenged UK libel law in the European Court, arguing that it was an infringement of the right to free speech. The Government was forced to re-write the legislation as a result. In 2005, a film was made about the court case.
In 2001, Eric Schlosser's book Fast Food Nation included criticism of McDonald's' business practices. Among the critiques are allegations that McDonald's (along with other companies within the fast-food instry) uses its political influence to increase their own profits at the expense of people's health and the social conditions of its workers. The book also brings into question McDonald's advertisement techniques where it targets children. While the book does mention other fast-food chains, it focuses primarily on McDonald's.
In June 2004, the UK's Private Eye reported that McDonald's was handing out meal vouchers, balloons, and toys to children in pediatric wards. This was especially controversial as the report was made within weeks of a British Government report stating that the present generation may be the first to die before their parents e to spiraling obesity in the British population.
In 2002, vegetarian groups (comprising of some believers of Hinism), successfully sued and won against McDonald's for suppressing the fact that even after the discontinuation of frying the french fries in beef tallow, the french fries still had beef extract added to them. This went against the company's representation of the french fries being "purely vegetarian".
Also in 2004, Morgan Spurlock's documentary film Super Size Me proced negative publicity for McDonald's, with allegations that McDonald's food was contributing heavily to the epidemic of obesity in American society, and failing to provide nutritional information about its food for its customers. For 30 days Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald's (supersizing whenever asked). He ate everything on the menu at least once, always accepted upsizing requests of McDonald's employees, and continued to eat after he was full. At the same time he consciously attempted to get little or no exercise. By the end of the month he reported mood swings and sexual dysfunction and had gained 24.5 pounds (11.11 kg).
After the film was shown at the Sundance Film Festival, but before its cinematic release, McDonald's phased out its Supersize meal option and began offering several healthier menu items, though no link to the film was cited in this decision. The company also began a practice of putting nutritional information for all menu items in light grey small print on the reverse of their tray liners. It is currently phasing in nutritional labeling in clear black print on the actual packaging of its food items.
Legal challenge over trans fats
In September 2002, McDonald』s announced it was voluntarily recing the trans fat content of its cooking oil by February 2003. The oil was not changed. In the ensuing lawsuits, plaintiffs claimed that McDonald』s failed to inform the public that the oil was not changed. Since that time, it has been discovered that the trans fat content of some of their procts are higher than they claimed (one McDonald's large fries contains 8 grams of trans fat).
Settlement of the lawsuit brought by BanTransFats.com and one private party requires McDonald』s to inform the public that the oil was not changed. McDonald』s will also donate $7 million to the American Heart Association for public ecation about the risks of consuming trans fat.
McDonald』s is also required to spend up to $1.5 million on publishing notices to ensure that the public knows the status of its trans fat initiative. If the cost of publishing the notices is less than $1.5 million, the difference will be donated to the American Heart Association.
The California Superior Court for Marin County has entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement.
Legal cases
Main article: McDonald's legal cases
McDonald's has been involved in a number of lawsuits and other legal cases, most of which involved trademark disputes. The company has threatened many food businesses with legal action unless they drop the Mc or Mac from their trading name. In one noteworthy case, McDonald's sued a Scottish café owner called McDonald, even though the business in question dated back over a century.
It has also filed numerous defamation suits. The McLibel case, mentioned above, is probably the best known of these.
McDonald's has had to defend itself in several cases involving workers' rights. In 2001 the company was fined £12,400 by British magistrates for illegally employing and over-working child labor in one of its London restaurants. This is thought to be one of the largest fines imposed on a company for breaking laws relating to child working conditions.
McDonald's advertising campaigns and slogans
Main article: McDonald's TV campaigns and slogans
To date, McDonald's has used a total of twenty-three different slogans in United States advertising, as well as a few other slogans for select countries and regions. At times, it has run into trouble with its campaigns.
In 1996, the British alt comic magazine Viz accused McDonald's of plagiarizing the name and format of its longstanding Top Tips feature, in which readers offer sarcastic tips. McDonald's had created an advertising campaign of the same name, which suggested the Top Tips (and then the alternative - save money by going to McDonald's). Some of the similarities were almost word-for-word:
"Save a fortune on laundry bills. Give your dirty shirts to Oxfam. They will wash and iron them, and then you can buy them back for 50p." – Viz Top Tip, published May 1989.
"Save a fortune on laundry bills. Give your dirty shirts to a second-hand shop. They will wash and iron them, and then you can buy them back for 50p." – McDonald's advert, 1996.
The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, which was donated to the charity Comic Relief. However, many Viz readers believed that the comic had given permission for their use, leading to Top Tips submissions such as: "Geordie magazine editors. Continue paying your mortgage and buying expensive train sets ... by simply licensing the Top Tips concept to a multinational burger corporation."
In 2003, a ruling by the UK Advertising Standards Authority determined that the corporation had acted in breach of the codes of practice in describing how its French fries were prepared [2]. A McDonald's print ad stated that "after selecting certain potatoes" "we peel them, slice them, fry them and that's it." It showed a picture of a potato in a McDonald's fries box. In fact the proct was sliced, pre-fried, sometimes had dextrose added, was then frozen, shipped, and re-fried and then had salt added.
Facts and Figures
The first Hamburger University, a school for future executive managers of regional franchises, is in Oak Brook, Illinois, where the company headquarters is located. Similar "Hamburger U" training schools have been set up around the world.
The first McCafe store in the world was opened in Melbourne in 1993.
Current members of the board of directors of McDonald's are: Hall Adams, Edward Brennan, Robert Eckert, Enrique Hernandez, Jeff Hunter, Richard Lewis, Andrew McKenna, and Cary McMillan.
Only 2 McDonald's Restaurants in Australia so far have a double lane drive thru. One is McDonald's North Mackay, in North Queensland and one soon to be completed in North Sydney, New South Wales. Mackay North has also got the longest Drive-thru in Australia fitting a total of 22 cars from start to finish.
McDonald's is well known for its sponsorship in American sports. It is the official fast food of the U.S. Olympic Team, and has former NBA superstar Michael Jordan as a spokesperson. McDonald's is also famous for its longtime sponsorship of Bill Elliott's NASCAR team. Kasey Kahne now carries the Golden arches on his #9 car. Additionally, McDonald's sponsors Sebastien Bourdais' #1

McDonald's
In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in Califor-nia which sold food that was easy to
prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries and cold drinks were the main food there.
Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name,McDonald's, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful "fast-food" restaurants in America and the world.
Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the ]950s,most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the work place. This meant that they had less time and energy for housework and preparation of meals, so they depended more on "TV dinners" and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.
Fast-food is not part of all Americans lives. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement,influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged and processed. This preference for natural food continues to this day. From the success of Raymond Kroc's fast-food business,we can say that social and economic trends influence where and what we eat.
麥當勞
1955年，一位名為雷蒙德·克勞克的人與兩位名為麥當勞的兄弟合夥，在加州開了一家頗受歡迎的小餐館，銷售製作方便服務快捷的食物。那裡的主打食品是漢堡、炸薯條和冷飲。克勞克用同樣的名字—一麥當勞開了幾家類似的餐廳，迅速獲得了成功。後來他接管了這個公司，今天它成為美國和世界最有名、最成功的「快餐」廳之一。
他的想法為什麼會如此成功呢?也許最重要的原因是因為他時機正好。20世紀50年代，大多數已婚婦女呆在家裡做家務、照顧孩子。而在60年代，許多婦女回去工作。這就意味著她們做家務、准備食物的時間、精力減少了，因此她們更多地依賴於「電視晚餐」和快餐店。單親家庭中父母也很少有時間花在廚房裡。獨自居住的人也依賴於這種食物，因為一個人做飯經常太麻煩，不值當費那功夫。
快餐並不是所有美國人生活的一部分。20世紀60年代還有另一種有時被成為「返璞歸真」運動的趨勢，影響了很多人，他們避免食用經過包裝和加工的食物。這種對天然食物的青睞一直持續到今天。從雷蒙德·克勞克快餐生意的成功中，我們可以說社會和經濟趨勢會影響我們就餐的地點和食物的選擇。

9. 求一篇關於快餐的英語文！！！急急急！！
Fast food becomes more popular now, especially among the teenagers and the children. Why do so many people like fast food?
快餐食品現在越來越流行，特別是在青少年和兒童中。為什麼那麼多人喜歡快餐呢？
For one thing, it's very fast and convenient. It always serves in no time, so we can either eat it in the restaurant or take it away. For another, because of the different ways of cooking, it looks nice and tastes delicious. What's more, the service and environment is good, so that we can have our dinner in a happy mood.
一方面，快餐很快也很方便。總是很快就能上菜，所以我們可以在餐廳里吃或者把它帶走。另一方面，因為烹飪方式的不同，它看起來很好看，吃起來也很好吃。更重要的是，服務和環境都很好，這樣我們就可以在一個愉快的環境吃晚餐。
However, in terms of nutrition, it's far from satisfactory. Most fast food is junk food. It contains so much sugar and fat, which makes us put on weight so easily. Since the westerners have the fast food every day, most of them have heavy weights, high blood pressure and bad teeth.
然而，在營養方面，它是遠遠不能令人滿意。大多數的快餐都是垃圾食品。它含有太多的糖份和脂肪，這會很容易增加我們的體重。因為西方人每天都吃快餐，所以他們大多數人都超重，血壓高，有壞牙齒。
Therefore, I suggest that we should eat less fast food but more nutritious dishes.
因此，我建議我們應該少吃快餐多吃更有營養的菜餚。
