The Founder

The biggest difference between the brothers and Ray was that the brothers didn’t want to expand their business, they wanted to concentrate in one location that way they could make sure to produce good, consistent food and service. On the other hand, Ray wanted the opposite. he saw the potential the business had and how big it could grow, so he wanted to expand and have more locations and more innovative products. The brothers did the right thing by selling because it wasn’t worth it, if they didn’t let it go the dispute was just going to keep going. I do think they got the short end of the stick with the deal given how they never got any royalties. The franchisees would make money from the business and Ray would make money from controlling the restaurants real state and collecting rent from the franchisees. The film didn’t change my perception of McDonald’s, however It was very interesting to watch since I had no idea that was how the biggest fast food chain in the world originated.

    Hello Fatima! I agree with you post, although the film did not necessarily change my perspective upon the fast food place, I did find out some interesting things that I never knew about. I think its crazy that so many people enter this place not knowing much in the sense that we didn’t.
