There were two McDonalds—Mac and Dick—and they were brothers. In 1948, they owned a restaurant in California, they liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.
“If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “And if we made the customers come to the counter, we wouldn’t need any waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”
These were such good ideas that McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly—in less than a minute—and they paid only 15 cents for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries. The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.
Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for＄27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world—even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.
McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.

In 1955, Ray Kroc visited a small restaurant in California(加利弗尼亚). The restaurant was built next to the road, so customers could drive up to the restaurant and drive away easily. The restaurant was owned and operated by the MacDonald brothers, Dick and ‘Mac’.

The McDonald brothers had developed a new idea for their restaurant. The brothers called their idea a “drive-in” restaurant, and customers could order food from their cars.

The restaurant also cut down on the number of choices on the menu, so the cooks could make the food very quickly. The restaurant was good at making hamburgers, French fries, and chocolate shakes.

Ray Kroc recognized the potential(潜力) of the McDonald brothers’ restaurant, and he offered to buy the rights to the two brothers’ idea. Mr. Kroc wanted to open his own restaurants, and he wanted to use the idea of a drive-in restaurant. He also wanted to use the brothers’ family name. The two brothers agreed, and the McDonald’s restaurant chain was born.

McDonald’s is now the world’s largest restaurant corporation(公司). In the United States, there are more than 5,000 McDonald’s restaurants. The McDonald’s chain also operates restaurants in 60 other countries. In 1992, McDonald made more than $16 billion from its restaurants around the world.

The largest McDonald’s restaurant is located in Beijing, China. It has 1,000 employees(雇员). Also, up to 700 customers can sit and eat in this restaurant at one time.
