Job Description

McDonald's Corporation McDonald’s needs little introduction. In 1954 Ray Kroc visited a restaurant run by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald and was so impressed by the efficiency of their operation that he pitched his vision of creating McDonald’s restaurants across the US. In 1955 the first McDonald’s restaurant was opened. By 1958 McDonald’s had sold 100 million hamburgers. Kroc once said of his four business goals, “If I had a brick for every time I’ve repeated the phrase ‘Quality, Service, Cleanliness, and Value’, I’d probably be able to bridge the Atlantic Ocean with them.” McDonald’s Corporation now has more than 41,000 restaurants in over 100 countries, serving billions of customers each year, and over 65 million customers each day; making McDonald’s by far the largest food service brand in the world with $130B system sales, $8.5B net income and $7.3B free cash flow in 2023.
