McDONALD’S
Ray Kroc opened the first McDonalds restaurant in Illinois, America in 1955. Today McDonalds is one of the world’s
leading food service brands with more than 36 000 restaurants in more than 100 countries.
McDonald’s opened its first restaurant in South Africa in November 1995. Today it operates over 200 restaurants
in South Africa. It serves over 8 million customers per month and employs over 8 000 employees. South Africa is
one of the most successful markets in the franchise’s international history.
McDonalds’s is renowned for its training throughout the world. South African crew members receive comprehensive
training in restaurants across the country. The company has trained and employed over 10 000 South Africans at

Work for in South Africa for 2009, 2010 and 2011.

moment a customer places an order until he or she leaves. To reduce the amount of time it takes to provide
services, the company uses standardised training processes for its employees and new drive-through layouts.
McDonalds also competes by offering low prices. To offer quality products at low cost requires efficient processes
throughout the entire organisation. Once again, this goal links to its vision statement: The franchise will be the
most efficient provider by offering the best value to most people. McDonalds incorporate several avenues to provide
good value to its customers. One example that the company has employed for many years is the value meal.
Globally, McDonald’s is fighting declines in customer traffic, a result of weak consumer spending worldwide. The
value driven strategy is an effort to compete for budget-minded consumers. Value is critical, because the consumer
