He gave people a simple eating place with popular food, low prices, friendly service and no waiting. And all McDonald's restaurants sold the same food in every restaurant across the country. Ray Kroc established rules for how McDonald's restaurants were to operate. He demanded that every restaurant offer "quality, service and cleanliness." People lucky enough to get a franchise must complete a program at a training center called Hamburger University. They learn how to cook and serve the food, and how to keep the building clean. More than 65,000 people have completed this training.
McDonald's began to expand around the world in 1967. Ray Kroc's business ability made McDonald's the largest restaurant company in the world. There are now more than 30,000 McDonald's restaurants on six continents. The company operates in about 120 countries. Every day, McDonald's restaurants around the world serve about 50 million people.
