#HackTheMenu - McDonald's General Information

The McDonald's company started in 1940 as a barbecue restaurant and it was operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald. Later, in 1948 the brothers reorganized McDonald's as a hamburger stand using production line principles. In 1955, Ray Kroc joined the company as a franchise agent. Kroc would later purchase the corporation from the McDonald's brothers and expand it to a world-wide company.

McDonald's is the largest hamburger fast food restaurant chain in the world, serving approximately 68 million customers daily in 119 countries! The McDonald's Headquarters is located in the United States of America, from where it originated.

McDonald's main products include hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, grilled or fried chicken, breakfast items, coffee drinks, milkshakes, and desserts. McDonald's continues to expand and refresh its menu with healthier options such as fresh fruit, salads, and wraps.
