麦当劳公司（McDonald's Corporation）简介
MCD是全球最大的连锁快餐企业。是由麦当劳兄弟和Ray Kroc在50年代的美国开创的、以出售汉堡为主的连锁经营的快餐店。在世界范围内推广，麦当劳餐厅遍布在全世界六大洲百余个国家。麦当劳已经成为全球餐饮业最有价值的品牌。在很多国家麦当劳代表着一种美国式的生活方式。
麦当劳的开心乐园餐免费赠送玩具，如迪士尼电影的人物公仔，对未成年人颇有吸引力。
由于所代表的快餐文化被指责对公众健康产生影响，例如：高热量导致肥胖，以及缺乏足够均衡的营养，很多人抨击其为“垃圾食品”。以本国的饮食文化为荣的法国很多人不喜欢麦当劳，把麦当劳归为美国生活方式入侵的代表。

公司概况
以色列的“麦当劳”店麦当劳公司旗下最知名的麦当劳品牌拥有超过31000家快餐厅，分布在全球121个国家和地区。在世界各地的麦当劳按照当地人的口味进行适当的调整。另外，麦当劳公司现在还掌控着其他一些餐饮品牌，例如午后浓香咖啡（Aroma Cafe）、Boston Market、Chipotle墨西哥大玉米饼快餐店、Donatos Pizza和Pret a Manger。
麦当劳公司2001年的总收入达到148.7亿美元，净利润为16.4亿美元。
大多数麦当劳快餐厅都提供柜台式和得来速式（drive-through的英译，即指不下车便可以够用餐店的一种快餐服务。顾客可以驾车在门口点菜，然后绕过餐厅，在出口处取餐。）两种服务方式，同时提供室内就餐，有时也提供室外座位。
得来速餐厅通常拥有几个独立的站点：停车点、结账点和取货点，而一般而言后两个站点会并在一起。
（有消息称，由于美国北达科他州的员工最低工资明显低于俄勒冈州和华盛顿州，麦当劳公司计划在2005年初尝试着在北达科他州法戈设立电话服务中心，用来接受处理来自俄勒冈州和华盛顿州的得来速电话订单，以缓解那种现象。）
在有些地区，公路干道两旁会设有麦大道（McDrive）是一种无柜台无座位的为了款待夜游驾车人仕所开设的大道，这种大道往往作为得来速餐厅的简化方式出现在闹市区这种人口高密度一带。
一些专门的主题餐厅仍然保留着，比如摇滚麦当劳50年代主题餐厅，还有一些经过精心挑选，坐落在近郊地区以及某些城市的大型室内或室外游乐场的麦当劳餐厅。它们被称作麦当劳乐园（McDonald's PlayPlace，旧称PlayLand）这种类型的餐厅最早于70年代和80年代在美国本土出现，而在国际上的现身就稍晚一些：比如加拿大的大部分地区直到90年代中期才陆续出现。
麦当劳公司每年会将营业额的一部分用于慈善事业。创始人雷·克洛克在去世时，用他的全部财产成立了麦当劳叔叔慈善基金。
因麦当劳固定销售可口可乐公司提供的碳酸饮料，麦当劳实际和可口可乐结成了战略联盟。

Answer 2

The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California. Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant. The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee." Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald in 1963.

The first McDonald's restaurants opened in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, El Salvador and Sweden in order of openings.

The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955[7] , the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion and the company became listed on the public stock markets in 1965.[8] Kroc was also noted for aggressive business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry. The McDonald brothers and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc's autobiography and in the McDonald brothers' autobiography. The site of the McDonald brothers' original restaurant is now a monument.

With the expansion of McDonald's into many international markets, the company has become a symbol of globalization and the spread of the American way of life. Its prominence has also made it a frequent topic of public debates about obesity, corporate ethics and consumer responsibility.

Facts and figures
McDonald's restaurants are found in 119 countries and territories around the world and serve nearly 47 million customers each day. McDonald's operates over 31,000 restaurants worldwide, employing more than 1.5 million people. The company also operates other restaurant brands, such as Piles Café.

Focusing on its core brand, McDonald's began divesting itself of other chains it had acquired during the 1990s. The company owned a majority stake in Chipotle Mexican Grill until October 2006, when McDonald's fully divested from Chipotle through a stock exchange. Until December 2003, it also owned Donatos Pizza. On August 27, 2007, McDonald's sold Boston Market to Sun Capital Partners.

Types of restaurants
Most standalone McDonald's restaurants offer both counter service and drive-through service, with indoor and sometimes outdoor seating. Drive-Thru, Auto-Mac, Pay and Drive, or McDrive as it is known in many countries, often has separate stations for placing, paying for, and picking up orders, though the latter two steps are frequently combined; it was first introduced in Arizona in 1975, following the lead of other fast-food chains. In some countries "McDrive" locations near highways offer no counter service or seating. In contrast, locations in high-density city neighborhoods often omit drive-through service. There are also a few locations, located mostly in downtown districts, that offer Walk-Thru service in place of Drive-Thru.

Specially themed restaurants also exist, such as the "Solid Gold McDonald's," a 1950s rock-and-roll themed restaurant. In Victoria, British Columbia, there is also a McDonald's with a 24 carat (100%) gold chandelier and similar light fixtures.

To accommodate the current trend for high quality coffee and the popularity of coffee shops in general, McDonald's introduced McCafé. The McCafé concept is a café-style accompaniment to McDonald's restaurants in the style of Starbucks. McCafé is a concept of McDonald's Australia, starting with Melbourne in 1993. Today, most McDonald's in Australia have McCafés located within the existing McDonald's restaurant. In Tasmania there are McCafés in every store, with the rest of the states quickly following suit. After upgrading to the new McCafe look and feel, some Australian stores have noticed up to a 60% increase in sales. As of the end of 2003 there were over 600 McCafés worldwide.

Some locations are connected to gas stations/convenience stores,[15] while others called McExpress have limited seating and/or menu or may be located in a shopping mall. Other McDonald's are located in Wal-Mart stores. McStop is a location targeted at truckers and travelers which may have services found at truck stops.

Playgrounds
Some McDonald's in suburban areas and certain cities feature large indoor or outdoor playgrounds, called "McDonald's PlayPlace" (if indoors) or "Playland" (outdoors)[citation needed]. The first PlayPlace with the familiar crawl-tube design with ball pits and slides was introduced in 1987 in the USA, with many more being constructed soon after. Some PlayPlace playgrounds have been renovated into "R Gym" areas.

"R Gyms" are in-restaurant play area that features interactive game zones designed for children aged 4 to 11. They are equipped with stationary bicycles attached to video games, dance pads, basketball hoops, monkey bars, an obstacle course, and other games which emphasize physical activity.

The "R Gym" features the Toddler Zone, an active play environment with age appropriate games that develop physical coordination and social skills; the Active Zone, designed for children aged four-to-eight that promotes physical fitness through fun play; the Sports Zone which features a series of sport oriented activities to promote aerobic exercise for children aged 9-to-11; the Parent Zone which features seating and provides a monitoring area for their children; and the Dining Area which allows families to eat.

Redesign
In 2006, McDonald's introduced its "Forever Young" brand by redesigning all of their restaurants, the first major redesign since the 1970s.[18][19]

The new design will include the traditional McDonald's yellow and red colors, but the red will be muted to terra cotta, the yellow will turn golden for a more "sunny" look, and olive and sage green will be added. To warm up their look, the restaurants will have less plastic and more brick and wood, with modern hanging lights to produce a softer glow. Contemporary art or framed photographs will hang on the walls.

The exterior will have golden awnings and a "swish brow" instead of the traditional double-slanted mansard roof.

The new restaurants will feature areas:

The "linger" zone will offer armchairs, sofas, and Wi-Fi connections.
The "grab and go" zone will feature tall counters with bar stools for customers who eat alone; Plasma TVs will offer them news and weather reports.
The "flexible" zone will be targeted toward families and will have booths featuring fabric cushions with colorful patterns and flexible seating.
Different music targeted to each zone.
Branches in the United Kingdom have an even more contemporary look and feel to the stores, replacing the red with a deep British racing green and overall making the stores look more casual, similar to a Starbucks branch.

Business model
McDonald's Corporation earns revenue as an investor in properties, a franchiser of restaurants, and an operator of restaurants. Approximately 15% of McDonald's restaurants are owned and operated by McDonald's Corporation directly. The remainder are operated by others through a variety of franchise agreements and joint ventures. The McDonald's Corporation's business model is slightly different from that of most other fast-food chains. In addition to ordinary franchise fees and marketing fees, which are calculated as a percentage of sales, McDonald's may also collect rent, which may also be calculated on the basis of sales. As a condition of many franchise agreements, which vary by contract, age, country, and location, the Corporation may own or lease the properties on which McDonald's franchises are located. In most, if not all cases, the franchisee does not own the location of its restaurants.

The UK business model is different, in that fewer than 30% of restaurants are franchised, with the majority under the ownership of the company. McDonald's trains its franchisees and others at Hamburger University in Oak Brook, Illinois.

In other countries, McDonald's restaurants are operated by joint ventures of McDonald's Corporation and other, local entities or governments.

As a matter of policy, McDonald's does not make direct sales of food or materials to franchisees, instead organizing the supply of food and materials to restaurants through approved third party logistics operators.

According to Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser (2001), nearly one in eight workers in the U.S. have at some time been employed by McDonald's. (According to a news piece on Fox News this figure is one in ten). The book also states that McDonald's is the largest private operator of playgrounds in the U.S., as well as the single largest purchaser of beef, pork, potatoes, and apples. The selection of meats McDonald's uses varies with the culture of the host country.

Shareholder Dividends
McDonald's has increased shareholder dividends for 25 consecutive years[20] making it one of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats[21][22] with the highest annual dividends of publicly traded companies in the fast food industry
McDonald's predominantly sells hamburgers, various types of chicken sandwiches and products, French fries, soft drinks, breakfast items, and desserts. In most markets, McDonald's offers salads and vegetarian items, wraps and other localized fare. Portugal is the only country with McDonald's restaurants serving soup. This local deviation from the standard menu is a characteristic for which the chain is particularly known, and one which is employed either to abide by regional food taboos (such as the religious prohibition of beef consumption in India) or to make available foods with which the regional market is more familiar (such as the sale of McRice in Indonesia).
