>>86900767
Mmmmm mmmmm soy.

>>86900659
Old-timers say that the original McDonald's burger was basically the same shit. They sold it so cheap because it was a flat patty of barely anything. The fries and shakes changed, sure, but the burgers were always crap.

mcdonalds used to, or they still did, buy their beef from a company called "100% Beef" as to trick consumers into thinking they were eating pure beef instead of cardboard? truly evil, but standard operating procedure in america

>>86901859
Did you even watch the movie?

I've never seen this. Wasn't the founder a fucked up carnie though? Heard some fucked up shit about him.

>>86902467
Yes, did you?

>>86900659
It has been proven again and again and again that, given a choice between an expensive option and a discount cheaper option, people will pick the cheaper option every time and learn to love it. That's McDonalds. It has more locations around the world than any other food service business or restaurant specifically because it offers a simple and traditional menu with passable quality for a low price. A nice local restaurant with $15 burgers can't compete with a McDonalds with decent $3 burgers in the same town.

The same thing happens with the airline industry. People complain about the cramped seating but pay for the cheap seats every time. Companies tried introducing "premium economy" and they couldn't sell them. You get what you pay for. The god of the market and all that.

>>86902673
It's not even really about the quality, it's about consistency. Most people don't like the unknown so they like the idea that no matter what city they are at in the world they can go into a McDonalds and know exactly what they are getting every time. It's incidental that the only way to maintain this level of quality over so many stores is to keep it relatively low quality.

>>86902467
I agree with him. Ray Kroc was a sympathetic character. He was a 50 year old man who grinded day in and day out in sales in search of a good idea, and he encountered nothing but disrespect along the way. He finally made it with McDonalds. He finally found his success. But the McDonalds brothers were unwilling to listen to reason and actively sabotaged the midwestern locations. Kroc finally seized control with his real estate maneuver and, while I don't ageee with his treatment of the brothers after that, I appreciate what he did for food service around the world and I can empathize with his drive for success.
I'm glad they didn't make it a "DUDE FUCK CAPITALISM LMAO" film.

>>86902761
They covered that in the movie as well. The Golden Arches as a symbol of Americana and familiar dining.

>>86899996
Kroc's formerly MacDonald's

>>86902673
I understand their philosophy just fine but they're hemorrhaging badly these days from not being able to compete.

>>86899999

>>86902856
They've become stagnant. Every other fast food company has new burgers every month or wacky marketing campaigns or something, Mcdonalds is doing nothing.

>>86902793
Pretty much this.

I actually loved how he treated his 1st wife in this, She was so negative to him. although supportive she was disrespectfull of him.

How he got the business where it was showed how cunning and foresightful he was, How he treat the brothers showed how much of a cunt he could be.

>>86902856
They're actually growing again. McDonalds coffee has become a staple of cheap quality ever since they changed it after the burns lawsuit and their sales are increasing quickly as Chipotle and some of the other nu-fast food joints stall and fall.

>>86902981
The lawsuit had nothing to do with it, they just wanted to compete with Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks for people's morning commute.

Best TV movie I ever saw.

True that. Their menu hasn't changed in forever. And even when they do introduce something nobody goes for the stuff that nobody ever orders for fear of getting shit that sat under a heat lamp all day long.

They need to introduce the international menu in America. They have fucking McDonalds bakeries in European locations where fresh pastries are sold as well as region-unique products and generally better ingredients. America is their core audience and they're being lazy with us. They can't even make the ice cream machines work.

>>86901682
This.

Could've been amazing if given to a better director/screenwriter. I still think Keaton was a good choice though.

>>86902793

Create a disgusting chemical ridden product and drive out family owned restaurants around the world? Single handedly creating the obesity and cancer epidemic in this country? Killing millions?

Big Mac machine broke

>>86903293
Yes. Meat is cooked in batches and held in warming trays but is discarded if it sits for more than about 20 minutes, which is rare.

>>86903274
Introduced way too late for anyone to care.

>>86903198

Lol

Literally what? Cancer has been around forever. Smoking was far worse than fast food for that.

Inexpensive food that people enjoy served quickly without a long wait time.

I don't think I've ever seen it advertised. It's not really well known that they do that now.

I remember a lot of excitement about it, and I think their stock shot up in the following months as well. It was a pretty big success.

>>86903352
Is it through Uber Eats, or on its own?

I enjoyed it. I don't know how close to the real story it was, but I liked the fact that they portrayed the guy in a non-definitive fashion. He is neither the villain nor the hero. He is just a guy who found a good opportunity. I like how the film doesn't force you to sympathize with the protagonist and just tries to be relatively neutral.

What other similar movie would you recommend? Ya know, a drama-comedy biopic.
It doesn't even have to be a biopic really, but bonus points if it is.

Ray Kroc was a badass and a real american hero but leave it to tho jews to slander him

>Ray Kroc lied about his age to serve in World War I as a Red Cross ambulance driver. He started training in 1917 when he was only 15 and was sent to France in 1918. Though not shown in the movie, the real Ray Kroc met fellow Illinois native Walt Disney while training for the Red Cross. Disney had also lied about his age. The two men served in Ambulance Company A

Did the McDonald brothers not tell Ray they had sold the rights to use their name in his hometown of Cook County, Illinois to another company?

>Yes. Though it's not focused on in the movie, before Ray Kroc could open his first McDonald's in Des Plaines, Illinois, he had to buy out the Frejlack Ice Cream Company's contract for $25,000. It was an added expense that he could barely afford. The cost was even harder to swallow since Frejlack had only paid $5,000 for the contract

>>86903815
Nope

Looks nasty, sure, but sausages are made in a similar way. Food prep usually isn't pretty. Go inside a slaughterhouse and see how comfy it looks. This is what it takes to feed a global population of more than 7 billion.

>He successfully unleashed the true franchising potential of the chain, Ray Kroc introduced standardization, automation and discipline.

Well for one the internet claims that is chicken, not beef. Secondly there has never been any confirmed source of the pic. It's bullshit propaganda.

Michael Keaton is actorkino

>>86903907
When McDonalds address the picture they took people to where they actually prep the food and showed them the process that the chicken goes through. The nuggets do end up as a paste, but it's not pink it looks like white meat put through a blender.

>>86903470

It's their own service I think but I'm not sure if it's even still offered. I saw it as a promotional thing so it might've been just that particular store or a select few.

Don't you mean "what went right"? McDonald's is a fortune 100 company with 26 billion in sales for 2016.

By what metric are they failing? To compare them to the Mcdonalds of the 1950 is asinine, they're a wildly successful company

What are you talking about, he was still fucking broke until he had to finally get that BJ Novak character to flat out tell him what to do to fucking make big money.

Keaton's character did nothing on his own. He ran with someone else's company, pushed it, and then plateau'd, then basically resigned himself til Novak conveniently told him what to do next with the property thing.
