McDonald's

The McDonald's Corporation strives to do the following as their objective:

• to serve good food in a friendly and fun environment.
• to be a socially responsible company.
• to provide good returns to its shareholders.
• to provide its customers with food of a high standard, quick service, and value for money.

Medical - McDonald's offers three Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) medical plan options that use the First Health network of providers. The plans have different benefit levels and pay more for in-network covered costs than for out-of-network covered costs. All three of the plans feature a prescription drug program and an unlimited lifetime benefit maximum. In addition, the McDonald's medical plans cover preventive care, including annual physical exams for employees and covered family members (up to $400 per person per year), well-baby care, and child immunizations and inoculations. In some areas, HMOs are also available.

Vision Supplement - Employees enrolled in one of the four McDonald's medical plans may elect the vision supplement plan, which provides coverage for eyeglasses and contact lenses, plus a mail-order contact lens replacement program, and discounts on Lasik laser vision correction surgery.

Dental - Our dental plan allows employees to see the dentist of their choice and covers a wide range of dental services. Preventive services, including sealants for children, are covered at 90% with no deductible. Basic and major services are covered at 80%, after a deductible. The plan also covers 50% of eligible orthodontia expenses for adults and children after a one-time deductible.

Spending Accounts - The flexible spending accounts let employees set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for certain health care and day care expenses. Employees can set aside up to $5,600 in the Healthcare Spending Account for expenses not covered or only partially covered by their medical and dental plans. For day care expenses that allow employees or their spouses to work, they can set aside up to $5,000 in the Day Care Spending Account.

Short and long-term disability - Both short and long term disability coverage is provided at no cost to employees. Short term disability provides benefits if an employee cannot work for more than 10 consecutive days; how long benefits continue depends on the nature of the employee's disability and years of service. Long term disability coverage replaces 60% of the employee's monthly base salary while he or she is disabled.

Employee and dependent life insurance - McDonald's provides basic life insurance of two times the employee's base salary at no cost to the employee. In addition, employees can purchase additional life insurance coverage for themselves (either term or universal life). Basic dependent life insurance for their spouse or domestic partner and/or children is also provided at no cost to the employees. And, if an employee elects optional life insurance for himself/herself, he/she can purchase additional dependent life insurance coverage.

Accidental death and dismemberment insurance - AD&D covers employees if they die or are seriously injured in an accident. McDonald's provides AD&D coverage equal to two times the employee's base salary. If the employee elects additional life insurance coverage, he/she automatically has an equal amount of optional AD&D coverage at no extra cost.

Travel and business travel accident insurance - McDonald's provides travel accident coverage of two times an employee's base salary at no cost to employees. Travel accident insurance pays benefits in the event of an accident when traveling for either business or personal reasons. McDonald's also provides business travel accident insurance coverage for employees traveling on company business, also at no cost. Depending on the employee's position, this coverage is either $100,000 or $200,000 and is in addition to travel accident coverage.

It is junk food so don't even try to eat it........ it can have as much calories as it likes because the patty can be refried and that will be disgusting.
It depends on the sides but the cheeseburger happy meal with fries and a diet drink would be 550 calories

A gourmet burger is more than a typical patty topped with lettuce, tomato, and ketchup. Gourmet burgers go out the way to add toppings that are exotic and unique to provide a different flavor twist. A gourmet burger is not available at most restaurants. They can also be a tad bit expensive, but most burger enthusiasts will agree that it's worth the price and the trip to satisfy their taste buds.

Gourmet burgers are normally found in restaurants that are more dine-in casual and upscale. They are not found in fast food restaurants. A gourmet burger is often not just a beef patty. Restaurants are increasingly choosing other healthier items in place of beef, such as a Portobello steak mushroom.

Gourmet burgers usually have toppings not found on regular burgers. They may have all the traditional toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mayo. They may also have fried onion rings, sprouts, roasted red peppers, sauerkraut, barbecue sauce, and fresh herbs like mint. Dressings of International origin like Asia, Greece, or the Middle East are commonly available, and several alternatives to cheese, such as yogurt or other creamy sauces, may be used.

The best way to find a gourmet burger in your area is to make a quick search on the Internet. Restaurants are good about listing their menus both in the phonebook and online, and you can see if they specialize in burgers with "extras."

A changing economy is one of the many factors that have made some choose to stay in rather than go out for dinner. Gourmet burgers cannot be purchased at McDonald's prices. A typical gourmet burger platter at most restaurants can cost, on average, from $7 to $10. This will usually includes a side like fries or slaw. Overall, that is not a bad deal, but still not pocket change, especially if done on a regular basis.

An alternative to this is to cook at home. There are dozens, if not hundreds of online sites with recipes for gourmet burgers. There are also cookbooks catered to burger enthusiasts and food magazines that regularly feature recipes. Food television programs, such as those found on the Food Network, can be a fun and entertaining way to learn a different style of dressing burgers. Online video sources, like YouTube, are also good places to pick up new recipes.

EDITOR'S TIP:

If you are a vegetarian, the gourmet burger experience can still be possible. Many restaurants have a standard vegetarian or vegan patty they can use to substitute for a beef one. You will still be able to get any toppings that come with a regular beef burger.

Gourmet burgers are more interesting than a typical burger. They are usually bigger than regular burgers. A variety of toppings and sauces not normally found on standard burgers make the burger experience tastier and less boring. Gourmet burgers provide the opportunity to sample more vegetables, exotic dressings, and even different types of breads.

Gourmet burgers are more expensive than regular burgers. Some can cost up to $10 or more. Most restaurants do not offer gourmet burgers. Gourmet burgers are not available in fast food settings.

Gourmet burgers can make an ordinary burger experience better by adding a variety of toppings, dressings, and sauces. A gourmet burger is usually bigger than most burgers and often comes with a side, such as fries or slaw. It will be more expensive than a standard burger by several dollars. For those who cannot afford or choose to save money and still want the gourmet burger experience, there are hundreds of recipes found in magazines, books, and online that teach how to dress up a burger at home.

McDonald is a takeaway and dine in restaurant here is some information about it :

McDonald's Corporation is one of the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving nearly 47 million customers daily.

In addition to its signature restaurant chain, McDonald's Corporation held a minority interest in Pret A Manger until 2008, was a major investor in the Chipotle Mexican Grill until 2006, and owned the restaurant chain Boston Market until 2007.

A McDonald's restaurant is operated by either a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself. The corporation's revenues come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants. McDonald's revenues grew 27% over the three years ending in 2007 to $22.8 billion, and 9% growth in operating income to $3.9 billion.

McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, shakes, and desserts. In response to obesity trends in Western nations and in the face of criticism over the healthiness of its products, the company has modified its menu to include healthier alternatives such as salads, wraps and fruit.
