Let\u2019s take a brief look at the McDonalds Franchise in India and how fruitful they might prove to be for you!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beginning of McDonald\u2019s<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

With over 60 years of history, McDonald\u2019s is the world\u2019s largest fast food restaurant developed from a mere barbeque stand!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The McDonald brothers, Richard and Maurice McDonald, in 1948 commenced their first McDonald\u2019s restaurant by transforming their tiny drive-thru barbeque joint into a burger and milkshake joint in San Bernardino, California.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was Richard and Maurice McDonald\u2019s second attempt into the food industry, first attempt being a hot dog stand.<\/span><\/p>\n

The original McDonald\u2019s retailed their offerings for half the price and in half the time of their competing restaurants. Their menu included fries, shakes and burgers. They managed to best their competitors by diverging from the traditional ways by which a hamburger shop operated. McDonald brothers came up with the installation of self-service counters to refrain from relying on waitresses and waiters.<\/span><\/p>\n

They pre-prepared all of their orders and kept them fresh and warm under high-powered hit lambs instead of cooking each meal after receiving orders, which helped them cut the waiting time, which gave them an exceptional edge against their competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The revolutionary restaurant system, Speedee Service System was developed by the McDonald brothers to streamline the food preparation process and deliver faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

The McDonald brothers purchased several multimixers from Ray Kroc who was a kitchen appliance salesman. Kroc was highly impressed by the success and efficiency of their system, and saw the potential for a much larger-scale operation.<\/span><\/p>\n

By 1954, Kroc convinced the McDonald brothers to expand their operations nation-wide and to let him franchise it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1955, Kroc founded the predecessor of McDonald\u2019s Corporation, namely, McDonald\u2019s System, Inc, which oversaw the expansion and franchising of McDonald\u2019s restaurants. In the same year, Kroc established the first franchised McDonald\u2019s restaurant, turning it from a single-location operation in California to a national and eventually a global fast-food chain.<\/span><\/p>\n

By 1966, Ray Kroc completely bought out the founding brothers and ran the company himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s proudly owns a whopping number of 38,000 outlets in over 100 countries all around the world!<\/span><\/p>\n

Launch of McDonald\u2019s in India<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s first commenced its operations in India in 1996 in the city of Bollywood, Mumbai.<\/span><\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s currently operates an estimated number of 170 outlets in India and plans to expand to an estimate of 580-630 by 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s Menu<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

McDonald\u2019s in India offers a wide variety of both Non-\u00a0 Vegetarian and Vegetarian burgers, fries, freshers, shakes, breakfast items, and their famous happy meals in accordance to every taste.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s provides its wide range of products at a moderate price and at a quick delivery time.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can often hear wailing of children at a McDonald\u2019s outlet, requesting for the extremely popular and kids\u2019 favorite Happy Meal, consisting of a healthy drink, burger, fries, a healthy side and a toy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every Indian is well acquainted with their scrumptious burgers and their pizza McPuffs served with your favorite cold drink topped up with ice-cream (McFloat).<\/span><\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s\u00a0 has now also expanded their operations with a new kind of outlet, the McCafe, serving breakfast and confectionery items including cookies, shakes etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
