McDonald's spent 963 million dollars in advertising in 2013. This fast food chain spends more on ads than any other restaurant chain.
At McDonald's or any other fast food restaurant.
The fast food chain of McDonald's changed economic history in the US and it spread to other parts of the world. McDonald's created an entire new industry that led to numerous other fast food restaurants such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, KFC, and Burger King. It created new jobs and had Americans almost addicted to this type of restaurant.
McDonald's has far more restaurants than any other restaurant, and then comes Burger King. I have heard that Subway is close to the top of the list also.
There are many McDonald's restaurants in Ireland, and that is the only name that they use. There are other fast food restaurant chains in Ireland too. There is one called Supermacs, which is a purely Irish founded restaurant and has no connection whatsoever to McDonald's, other than being in a similar line of business.
No, they were around decades before McDonald's. ---- MacDonald's did not invent the hamburger (which is simply ground beef on a bun, and has probably been around for ages). MacDonald's created a system of mass production for hamburgers and other foodstuffs which allowed for a much higher sales volume than a conventional restaurant, at greatly reduced costs. Basically they invented a food factory.
Advantage of a chain restaurant is: The owner is able to expand the business and maximize his profits by allocating franchises in other countries. Disadvantage of a chain restaurant can be (if not maintained) maintaining the food quality, and other measures of a specific standard in all the franchises
Another fast food chain or chains could occupy substantially the same niche as does McDonald's. Or we would substitute other needs/wants for those which McDonald's fulfills.
The same factors that apply to any other fast food chain restaurant apply to McDonald's The federal, state, and local government make laws for all businesses not just one store or food chain. Even if a particular lawsuit originates from one particular store, all the rest have to pay because, of course, no other store wants to be sued because they didn't tell them that their coffee just might be hot if they spill it on themselves.
yah, it is....there's like over 3 billion in the world today. That's what I learned in Health class at least. ---> actually this is 100% wrong ther is nothing close to 3 billion mccdonalds so you might want tell your health teacher he is wrong. The largest fast food resteraunt chain is subway with an average of 34,000 resteraunts and mccdonalds has 32,000.
It was discontinued due to taking too long to prepare in comparison to the chain's other products.
