What makes ray croc different from the brothers is that he had a bigger dream of expanding the restaurant globally and turning into a franchise know worldwide. While the brother focused on just improving the one restaurant.

2.Do you think the McDonald’s brothers did the right thing by selling out to Ray Kroc? Did Ray Kroc give the brothers a good deal?

Although Mcdonalds became a big restaurant it was not the right thing for the McDonalds brothers to sell out to Ray Croc because they end up losing out on all that money due to the unfair deal.

3.How did the local store franchisees make money?

The local franchisees made money buy teaching the methods while the location and equipment was already there. McDonalds was run independently was easier to make money by cutting the cost mainly of the bult in walk in freezer essentially everything was run effectively when putting all those ice cream crates in the restaurant. The only people they had to pay really was the franchise owners and owner.

4.How did Kroc make money? How was that different than the franchisees, running the local stores?

Kroc made money by expanding McDonalds through franchisees and charging monthly rent to them to run McDonalds which he later made enough to buy McDonalds from the brothers. This was different from the franchisees running the local stores by they would receive profit by the actual customers transaction through their sales of food. So, they must uphold responsibilities in order to earn profit day to day.

5.Does this film change your view of McDonald’s?

This film definitely changes my view of Mcdonalds because to be honest before learning business the whole system in college i only saw it as a cheap fast-food place to eat at for the convenience and the center of all fast-food places. Now studying business, I see McDonalds as really historical way to run a business that really invented the standard.
