I worked at McDonald's back in the day in the late 80's on a flat grill where we had manually turn the patties by hand, in fact, when I started, McDonald's was grilling the onions directly on the patties but that changed less than a year after I started. We switched to dressing them with the cold onions as a regular condiment like the rest. Let me just tell you, you have no idea just HOW GOOD the burgers were back then. I miss it tremendously.
tbh, if i ever worked at the fast food joint, say like mc donalds, and those werent cooked the beef patties i would flip it, i dont want my customers getting sick from under cooked patties, those patties looked like it wasn't thoroughly cooked all the way through.
@@19Pixel i don't want to make my customers sick. so i cook the patties THORGHLY, if it was still bleeding i would flip it. if and i mean IF i was a manager in any mc donalds i will tell my staff to cook the patties the way its intended to be cooked, not being cooked on 1 side. yes, it might take extra time. though i don't care if i tell the staff to make the patties at the reasonable temps at least 165 degrees then its fully cooked, i don't wanna cook on one side, and not the other.
I’m actually glad you post these videos because there’s this take that working at McDonald’s sucks and the way they do there food is terrible, but it turns out it’s no different from working in a pub or a restaurant kitchen team work and working together well
Food in Macdonald's is still bad, saying it as a MacDonald's worker. All what you have to do is just put frozen food in grill/deep fryer and wait some time, then do some simple moves and that's it. But this is monotonous and you can start feeling tired of it even after an hour of work, so it's hard work. Also McDonald's is constantly short of employees (in country where I work) so you have to multitask which causes more tiredness. This work is unthankful. It's good that I'm going to change job soon
@offinse9916 idk man, me personally, I love mcdonalds. I have a really good location across from my high school and it's basically run by my fellow high schoolers 😂 it's also a Hotspot for after school and they have a separate rush for after school
Hi I work as a kitchen crew at McDonald's in Japan. I wish McDonald's in Japan introduced seasoning equipment lol But it will be disassembled and cleaned every day, so the work of the closed sink is likely to increase lol
I worked at McDonald’s back in 1969 in Hawaii. We had an open grill and all burgers were grilled and dressed by hand. Milk shakes were made to order, filet of fish were fried to order. The burgers just do not taste the same😭 Just too much technology.
Milk shakes are still made to order. Sadly Filet O' Fish is not but it should be, seeing as how few we take. Unfortunately, it takes 3 1/2 minutes to cook, so that's probably why we don't.
I worked at McDonald's back in 2001-2002, I did grill a lot. We had 4 'clam' grills that were bigger than these in video. Could fit I think it was 12 regular patties or 6 or 9 quarter pounder patties. Had to manually close them to start cooking but they were on timer and would open automatically. And we didn't have to wear gloves back then, I would have hated having hands sweating in those plastic things. We had to wash hands every hour I think and sanitize every 10 or 15 minutes though.
Little tip of advice from a crew trainer: DON'T double glove as you did in the video. Double gloving could result in a tear in the gloves, which would result in you you making contact with the raw proeucts, posing a possible danger to you and/or the customers.
Yeah I don’t understand why he double gloved, if anything its more dangerous to him he is touching the button below with raw meat. But to be fair if those grills cook at the same temperature globally the customer doesn’t have to worry about germs.
@@Goldfishbox77Fair. And it is a lot more dangerous to him. Also it's usually more of an issue of keeping the other workers safe, since those who take the grill afterwards are also touching the same surface (though it should be wiped down frequently).
@@youllneverknow7781 That's a very, very odd rule but typically, it's against procedure (it's also against corporate McDonald's procedures). Again, a very odd rule, considering double glove increases risk of cross contamination.
I've worked other fast food besides mcds,, and let me tell you.. Mcds has their shit DOWN. They've 100% invested a good amount into their tech employees deal with on a daily basis that both makes it easier for employees and efficient for pumping food out.
Yo trabajo en McDonald's aquí en mi país España y lo que hace el hombre del video en el minuto 2:13 aqui no se puede hacer , si una carne no esta bien hecha al levantarse la plancha esa carne tengo que tirarla .
Looks like the process has changed little in the last 30 years. Robots could just as well do that. Can they cut the cooking time in half by increasing temperatures?
Since when or where does McDonald's add the onions while cooking the burgers??? I'm in MI and we don't do that. We add the re-hydrated onions to the burgers as made or we use sliced onions as they are made or requested. We don't cook the burgers with onion as it's cooking. Soooo, where is this??? And your fryers and whatnot are a bit different too.
Great video. How often do the cooked burger trays get washed? Kind of gross seeing you put down a clean piece of paper and watching the grease from the previous batch soak through.
They're washed once every 24 hours. The grease is all from the meat so there's nothing really disgusting about it - it's just burger grease, which you'll (obviously) find on the burgers from the first batch anyway.
What meat that's actually in it is 100 % beef the rest we may never know for sure. Biggest problem for me is I can't afford Mcd's anymore. Or any other fastfood. I remember 0.15 cent cheeseburger 🍔 that's how old I am. 😂 Gas was 0.29/9 a gallon. Bidonomics has made life miserable.
How hard can it be to cook a burger Put on the gloves stick the parties on put the sauce on top close to grill set the timer Then it’s cooked on both sides Then you put in the bun with whatever toppings Stevie Wonder could do that
This is literally fuck up proof, but I’ve had mine done exactly that way. A Big Mac with no burger or lettuce on the top half of it. I worked at McD’s during the Stone Age and had quit just after the clamshell grill came. It was a plain grill. There was a timer that had dials that could be adjusted for eggs, 10:1 patties, 4:1 patties, sausage, etc. put the meat down, hit the timer. Timer goes off, flip the burger and hit the timer again. Pull them when it went off the second time. We had to mix the salt and pepper in an aluminum shaker and shake it onto the burgers…nothing portion controlled. Made Big Mac sauce and tarter sauce for filet o fish. Didn’t come prepackaged. Cut our own tomatoes and onions. Buns were toasted in a toaster to perfection. That all had to be taught or learned on the fly. There were sheets explaining how to do it if you didn’t know. Nothing was kept in a warmer. It was literally making 12 hamburgers or 6 quarter pounders and they were sold as they were made. FRESH. HOT. Cheese melted. This is literally automated with the exception of dropping the Patty and picking it up and placing it on a bun. Everything is prepackaged. Everything comes already made. I’m not shitting on your post mate. Just trying to explain how much harder it was…making $2.20 an hour. You have NO CLUE how good you have it! Interesting to see how it’s all changed.
true bro i feel you. i work at mcdonalds in denmark and we for some reason have to be alot quicker he is going slow asf. its true everthing comes premade you just have to put things into machines and hit a button :/
I worked at McDonald's. We had the clam shell grills. We would do (12) 10:1 and (9) 4:1 at a time during lunch and dinner rush. I found it much easier and faster to cook to order after the rushes. So many stories I could tell on how things should have been done and how things were done..
Edit for the post above.: This method is to control food costs, not for speed anymore. Just see how long it takes to go through drive thru when they are busy. It makes no sense to wait 8-10 minutes to get your order, and nothing is even fresh.
Yes, for health and hygiene, sure.... but think about the big picture. All those plastic gloves end up back in the earth. They need to be biodegradable. Not to mention: the long-term mental health effects of a tedious and menial task.
No wonder the burgers taste like crap. They are only grilled on one side, zero skill in producing these pieces of warm cardboard. Plastic gloves and a hot grill, what could possibly go wrong.
