- What made Ray Kroc and the brothers different would be their drive, motivation and the way they seen things. I say this because when the brothers didn’t succeed they just moved on to the next plan that they had they didn’t really even push or give their ideas enough time to see if they would work or not. Kroc didn’t give up it was like he was forcing thins to work and in the end it all worked out for the better. Sometimes you have to have that aggression and mindset to just see things through and not give up.
- Honestly I don’t think that the brothers should have sold to Ray but instead I think they should have just been more on-board with the ideas and things he wanted to bring to the table. He seen the future not just the now and that’s why he flourished because he was always a step ahead and with the brothers it seems as if they just didn’t want to take risk to see what could happen. Kroc gave the brothers a good deal for him honestly because he knows he will see way more than what he gave them, so it won’t be a problem to make it back. In my opinion the brothers should have asked for more and been more stern about it. Ray Kroc pushed them around in the end deal.
- The local stores made money off of how quickly they got the orders out. So basically they were making money off of the brothers speed system, a lot of other local businesses were trying to copy the brothers as well and the system actually worked. That’s why they were able to make money off of it.
- Kroc made money by purchasing the land that the businesses were on. So when he owns the land he also owns whatever is on the land so he will also be making money off of the McDonald’s as well. His way of making money was different because he wasn’t only making money off of the restaurants sales and the speed system but now he was also making money off of the land and holding value property. So he was also on the real estate side of things.
- This film does change my view on McDonalds because that was pretty messed up what Ray Kroc did to those brothers and it’s kind of like the McDonald’s around now is just a fake of an original.

I’ll give you that Ray was very persistent. He was willing to risk everything to make McDonald’s big and successful. Still, that persistence was associated with the wrong values. he was selfish, hungry for money and power for his own benefit. At first, Ray wanted to get out of the hole he was in, but then he wanted to get to the top of the mounting and be the king of everything. He was a good person at the beginning, but the more power he got, the worse. He was breaking bad.
