>About Mcdonalds
Our story starts with one man.
Back in 1954, a man named Ray Kroc discovered a small burger restaurant in California, and wrote the first page of our history. From humble beginnings as a small restaurant, we’re proud to have become one of the world’s leading food service brands with more than 36,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries.
Over the last 65 years, we’ve served a lot of burgers, fries and everything in between. Every step of the way, we’ve also served much more than just what you’ll find on our menu. “Now Serving” means we serve smiles, confidence, opportunity, connection and friendship.
Now Serving also includes the comforting meals we provide following natural disasters and the support we give families through our partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®). In restaurants, it’s about recognizing crew members and offering ongoing education, scholarship and mentorship opportunities.
Behind our counters are thousands of hardworking people who make our Golden Arches shine. We’re honored to recognize the vast and unique network of 1 in 8 Americans who can say they’ve done just that.
Here at McDonald’s, our purpose is to feed and foster communities.
As the leading global foodservice retailer, we believe it’s our responsibility to make our impact on this world a positive one.
We believe in using our influence, size and reach, and engaging with customers, staff, Franchisees, suppliers and partners, as a responsible business with a positive impact on communities globally. We’re proud of the work we do to help make a difference—and will continue working to deliver progress in the communities in which we operate.
We’re driving impact by living our purpose. The actions we continue to take today across people, communities and our planet will ensure we’re building a better business and a more trusted brand for generations to come.
