- There is no question that the McDonald's fast-food restaurant chain is the largest in the world, and Richard "Dick" McDonald, along with his brother Maurice, started it all. Enjoy a rare interview with Dick as well as a treasure trove of information, photos, and footage depicting the development of the McDonald's chain and the fast food industry that still dominates our eating habits today.

The mcdonald’s brothers love the real ingredients not instant ingredients . They love high quality foods which is good. They were humble and kind…. The lesson is dont spill yout tactics to stranger
Very observant point.. Thank you
The speedee tactics weren’t a confidential secret. Kroc’s genius was franchising & expanding.
No... That's the wrong lesson, the right lesson is protect your IP and give your partners something to fight for, something to lose and do what ever you can so that they can succeed....their success will always be your success...
Where they failed according to the movie is they force Ray in a corner where he had no choice but to kick them out to grow. They were too strict and didn't care he was breaking even. They care only about quality even at their own expense of not making much profit. In business of you don't scale you retract and the McDonald's stop scaling! That's why they need strangers...
Unfortunately without Krock, none of us would be eating at McDonald’s today.
Yeah no. Instant is good
So glad these guys are getting their due as Founders. The Founder film really left an impact on me and it's good to know that the Brothers are more well recognized for their ingenuity, I'm not taking away the fact that Kroc was a big factor in the massive success globally but he should have given the brothers their credit far more than they got in their lifetime.
The Big Mac is forever a tribute to Mac imo.
Thank you, Drew- very astute comment- Ampopfilms
Couldn't agree with u more personally Ray Croc screwed them over in terms of the macdonalds brothers not getting any further royalties and also the fact Ray Croc put them out of business when they sold the naming rights as u seen from the film the renamed restaurant the big m went under
@@MampsUK Because literally a block or two, he actually put a McDonald's store next to the original one
@user-jm6mt1en2c I know it was right nearby think they said abt a block away. Feel sorry for the macdonalds brothers
@@JosephMendoza-k1i
So was Ray Kroc not supposed to?
Keep in mind that San Bernardino had a loyal McDonald's customer base...should they not have set up shop there? Dick and Mac had decided to start a new company (after they reneged on giving the physical location to Kroc after selling the McDonald's name... something they hadn't even trademarked up until that point), so they were essentially competition. Keep in mind, the brothers did *zero* work in franchising and had stated their goal to retire, so it would have been crazy for Kroc to just give up San Bernardino entirely.
The McDonald's brothers had the innovation of how to make a single location work above all others at the time, but lacked vision of how to successfully to turn that innovation into an empire. One thing about them was quality of the food came first. Unfortunately with size, quality suffers (cutting corners) and they knew that. You can bet the original McDonald's food back in the 50's was a thousand times better than the crap McDonald's serves today.
They didn’t lack the vision as they had 19 franchise agreements before Kroc came into the picture.. Dick and Mac just didn’t want to put in the work at this stage and didn’t want to travel etc..
All of that is false. McDonald’s food today is better than the McDonald’s in the 50s
@@ampopfilms They DID lack the vision. Kroc gave them the vision
@@ampopfilms All of that is false. Kroc was the man who made McDonald’s what it is today
@@firestriker3580 The McDonald Brothers lacked the ambition as they were confortable in San Bernardino , had money, and didn’t want to put in the work themselves to take it National..
They created the speedy system of serving up hamburgers so they he had the vision-
Sounds like a real nice guy I wish he got the credit he deserved
His lesson about life will stick with me
His name is on all those restaurants around the world.
McDonald Brothers - Made Burgers successful (fresh, quality)
Ray Kroc - Made financially successful (frozen, shortcuts)
It was really not Kroc, it was the VP and CFO that he met and taught Ray that he was in real estate, not burgers. That same man went on to be president and ceo. HE was the true brains
Matt Plyley -- of course we all know and even seen the documentary, interviews and the Movie itself.. Ray Kroc made the final decision and wanted to take Shortcuts cutting down the quality completely off in,coding powdered milkshakes and frozen patties than fresh, frozen factory fries than fresh chopped in store those days
@@dhanaty6744 and that mentality, money over honesty and integrity is why the US has the problems it does.
ray kroc made mc donalds for so processed shit
@Jamie Galvan
Consistently bad?
I like the Mcdonald brothers because of the Food Quality they want to serve to people.
It’s sad how franchising ruined their original philosophy
Well perspective is what I'll say
I prefer Ray Kroc more, yea mayb he is lowkey kind of a jerk himself in some ways but I like his story
Amen God bless them
You all probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost my password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@Leonardo Walker i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Love the way he tells his story, reminds me of my grandfather from Maine.
Same here you can tell by the look and sound of his voice that he didn't Care much about making money all he wanted was to make people happy
everyone feels bad for the brothers, i do to, but IMO they died much happier men than kroc did. men like kroc are worthless scumbags, they know it, they may have lots of money and power but behind all that is a real pile of garbage, everyone knows it and so did ray kroc, i would hate to have to live my life knowing that.
mac didn't get over it. he died of heart attack in 1971. richard mcdonald was able to just move on and he got to live to 89 and died in 1998. kroc died in 1984 at the age of 82.
Why is Ray a 'scumbag'? He hustled like crazy to make McD into a global brand as the McD brothers clearly didn't have the energy for such a thing, bought out the McDonald brothers fair and square at an incredibly huge risk for the company and ultimately made their name famous world wide.
@@SerbAtheist bought em out fair and square hope your making a joke.
@@joeydelrio No, you're the one who's projecting what McDonald's is worth TODAY into the distant past to conclude the McDonald's brothers were robbed. No one except Ray at the time thought McDonald's would become as big as it eventually did. Ray paid out the amount McDonald's brothers asked and made them incredibly rich for that day.
@@SerbAtheist ohh my mistake, the idea is so absurd i just assumed you were not being serious. kroc screwed those brothers just like he did everyone he ever did business with, this is why people refer to him as a "scumbag", thats what the term means. selling crack to little kids is good business that doesnt make it right.
The real legends who created Mcdonalds.
Yes!!! Without those two men, nobody would have lime green shit or have serious health problems! Those two legends helped kill tens of thousands of people!! Absolute legends🤣😂

rip to these brothers , they deserved better
They don't. They didn't do any work to get these 1million each!!!
Educate yourself on the story.
They were doing no work while the salesman was building the brand, values, and expanding.
They would have had only one store, which they even said they would.
@White Boii The McDonald goal was to be millionares. Read before you speak.
@@aurelianspodarec2629 it's their own idea that made them millionaires. It also became a standard in every fast food chains.
@@paulinebuenavista7689 No. Their idea didn't make them become millionaires.
I am not sure if you did watch the movie and read about the story, did you watch the documentary?
They had an idea, but couldn't execute it. They executed it at a small level, making them a few thousand dollars.
If the other guy wouldn't come up, and manage the business, expand it, build core values, they wouldn't made millions because they already tried to expand. You can't make millions with one shop. They tried to expand and they failed, and they didn't want to expand anymore, untill the other guy came
You might be young or not know how business works, but he build the entire McDonald brand and its values that we know today. Otherwise, if he didn't, we wouldn't know about McDonalds today.
@White Boii life is about money, we study we work for money n perhaps some fun behind it but still for money.
Go ahead and say Im superficial and materialistic, mayb u should go get a job at fokin mcds
Sounds familiar aint it
He really was nice guy's and jolly and not holding any grudge for person who drove them out of business. I hope in future, history will remember him more kindly and will give him credit for the ideas.
He was a shark with a fantastic bedside manner, that's why Crock was so pissed off about the whole thing.
Him and his brother made Crock work for every scrap but in the end he made it big.
@@thyrassword9698 it wasn't the mcdonald brothers that forced ray to work for them. ray chose that life. if anything the mcdonald brothers had a better working relation with their first franchise agent bill dansey.
Does'nt sound like they were forced out...sounds like Croc paid them what they wanted.
They weren't forced out. The only way they would have been forced out is if they never met Ray Kroc. There is absolutely no way that McDonald's would grow without him, and eventually the novel McDonald's restaurant would have died off like the hundreds of other novel burger joints from post WWII that no one remembers.
I don’t think the brothers would be happy with the quality of the food now, friggin’ salt burgers.
Gosh the actors look so alike to the real life brothers
Dick McDonald sounds brilliant.
Ray kroc was a hack!
Another Bob Kane and Bill Finger situation! So sad!!!
Ray Kroc was a business genius in his own right. And the McDonald bros still became multi-millionaires, which they never would've done if they hadn't met Ray Kroc.
Ray Kroc is the only reason you know who this guy is or what Mcdonalds is. It would be nothing without Ray
A million dollars in 1960 is about $10 million in today's money. The McDonald brothers made out well.
exactly! THIS is the credit they deserve: they ARE founders of McDonald's and their hard work paid off! They were NOT scammed or fooled, they don't deserve this false legacy. They died a success!!!!
Now I see why the ice cream machine never work😂
FASCINATING interview. What a treasure. Thank you!
We hand it to Dick and Mac McDonald for their pioneering contributions to the fast food industry. They sure deserved better!
They both became multi-millionaires. Terrible outcome, just unbearable.
@@jeffw8218 how did they become multi miljonairs?
@@beauscheenstra8284 Read the book/wiki, don’t rely on Hollywood for information.

So?
This man had one of the biggest “doh” moments in the world but he was still happy and jolly.This man was strong
He would never of built shit.. ray Kroc built it..
Tyler Withers True! The brothers were good with selling the company. The movie made it look like they were done dirty by Ray.
@@retrorampage9015 Do you just make this stuff up or does someone tell you what to write? The McDonald brothers did well enough building the business before Kroc came on board and seemed to be happy with what they got out of it. Kroc never would have done it without the McDonald brothers being successful first.
@@patrickmorgan4006 😆 😆 😆 😆
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul...
The brothers started a BBQ stand ,expanded to burgers. (With a very limited menu , )they developed the speedy system ..only had a handful of stores and sold it for the equivalent of 10 million each. I think they made off pretty well, for a couple of guys that started a hot dog stand.
Only lesson I learned from this guy is "put it in writing"
The McDonald brothers did, in fact, have a stringent contract with Kroc as their franchise agent..But he managed to maneuver away from it by positioning his McDonalds entity in Chicago as more of a real estate company and exploited that new scenario with the guidance of Harry Sonnenborg..
At that point, Dick and Mac had no desire to fight that moving train and agreed to sell out..
@@ampopfilms Other thing to notice, if Ray wouldn't be able to do that, doubt he'd continue.
Plus, Ray actually grew McDonald. They look at McDonalds wealth now, the people, like the guy that made the comment, and say they got screwed, when without Ray, McDonald would never exist, and they would never make as much money, except the money they would make by running one place, that made 40% more money than the other places.
So in fact, Dick wanted to be a millionaire, and they were geting more money by month, as Ray was hustiling doing all the work receving nothing, while they were doing no work and receving all these big money back then.
So its not fair to Ray - they should have renegotiated the contract and not shit on Ray.
I think Ray made a mistake in buying out Dick Mcdonald, who knows what great ideas he could have given to McDonalds. At the same time, I think Ray might not have tried to get rid of them so fast if the McDonald brothers were a little lenient on the rules.
Kroc had many ideas but the McDonald Bros put a hold on most of them and, yes, that frustrated him.. It was all about the money and the perceived and perhaps justified issue that Kroc had with the McDonald brothers regarding the franchise deals and monies dispersed.. Kroc was doing all the work and the McDonald Brothers were making most of the money..
Dick McDonald was against any and all ideas, no matter how successful they became after Ray went forward with them anyway.
5thcorps Ray had some strange menu item ideas.. An example would be the Hula Burger that introduced a slice of pineapple on a hamburger.. It didn’t fly too well and it was quickly removed from the menu.. Truth be told, most of the vastly successful menu items were created by local franchisees.. The Filet of Fish Sandwich and The Big Mac are perfect examples..
@@ampopfilms do you know when that happened and at which franchise. Also, which was the first sandwich to be introduced into the menu after the classic, burger, fries and shake only items.
@@michaeltnewyorknights8413 The Hula Burger was a meatless burger introduced in the 1960's by Ray Kroc to McDonald's. It was a substitute for American Catholics that would not eat meat on Fridays. The burger was a slice of grilled pineapple with cheese on a bun. But this was designed to go up against the Filet-O-Fish, which was created by a Catholic McDonald's Franchisee Louis M. "Lou" Groen. (Lou Groen) McDonald's ended production of the Hula Burger early on, as it became quickly evident that its alternative, the Filet-O-Fish, was getting much better traction.
Monumental achievement. Love love the memory of the McDonald’s Brothers
Ray Krap you turned Mc Donald's into junk food franchise. The McDonald brothers were known for their quality control. They used fresh beef, and real ice cream in their shakes. Ray Krap, used powdered milk shake, frozen beef, and frozen fries !
I just wish the original could have stayed open and retained all its methods and ingredients to this day.
It could have changed its name to MCDONALD BROTHERS BURGERS to separate it.
@@thyrassword9698
I have to say I'd love to have a burger made exactly to the spec they originally made them right down to the dough used for the bun.
@@thyrassword9698 it's very subjective, the business sold a lot of burgers after Ray Kroc took over
Ray was already dead and people were saying it was good. Now it pretty much sucks but that’s not Ray. Ray has been dead for the last 40 years.
It's really sad, they own names have been taken by Ray itself
Says Joseph Stalin the communist
Its "Their" and yes I agree its really sad tbh. I can not imagine what they had to go through when they lost their own business.
@@josephmendoza5806 so what are they are going to do now 🤔
If not for Ray Kroc.... The McDonald’s hamburger would not be well known today.The McDonald brothers were happy with their one store in California!!
That is true but the McDonald Bros did have about 19 franchise agreements in place before Kroc came into the picture..But, yes, Ray Kroc took it national..
@@ampopfilms took for himself like a greed sack of crock.
Did you even watch this video? Kroc wasn't even their first franchise agent.
@@patrickmorgan4006 That goes to show how Ray Kroc made McDonald’s very successful
@@TheJbarot51 Yes, he did expand their success, but McDonald's was successful before the brothers had ever heard of Ray Kroc. They were doing quite well with their original franchise agent, who sadly died, opening the door for Kroc.
Ray Kroc is a sneaky guy.
It took a while for things to be accepted, but when Dick and Mac decided to sweat it out just a little longer, the McDonald brothers set the standard with their "Speedee System", which put the "Fast" in the concept of "Fast Food", and they never looked back from there! Everyone else in the industry was going to be following THEIR lead after that! Ray Kroc had foreseen that immediately when he first saw the operation for himself...
A very classy man.
The white Ford convertible at the filling station with a guy cleaning the windshield is actually not in the USA but in Sweden. It says kr, öre and bensin on the pumps, the car registration B is for STOCKHOLM but I guess it’s a tourist because the sign on the bus says Östersund and that’s about 700 km up north from STOCKHOLM. Ford used to have a big assembly plant for trucks and cars in STOCKHOLM. Every car came individually in a big wooden crate and was assembled in the factory, that created jobs in Sweden and gave Ford lower custom fees and tariffs. The crates was then sold to people to be used as building materials for garages and summer houses.
i wanted to watch big screen biography on Mcdonald brothers featuring ray kroc as crook and villian, thank you
As I watch this I’m sitting in the parking lot of the first McDonald’s in the McDonalds brothers home town…..that was opened by Ray Kroc. Wow did they make a mistake working with him. For those wondering it’s on south willow st in Manchester NH. Also my home town.
How did they make a mistake by working with him? Their only goal by starting McDonald's was that explicit goal to become millionaires by the age they were 50.
Not only did they not achieve that by their 50th birthday, they weren't even close. Ray Kroc eventually paid their 1.3 million dollars of money that he did not have.
Had Ray Kroc not come along, McDonald's would have continued to be a single prosperous location in San Bernardino, before some other burger conglomerate (I would wager it to be Hardee's) decided to nationalize and start buying up local burger businesses. And I assure you, they weren't going to get anything close to a million dollars at that time.
I just feel so sorry for then getting their share and vision robbed of them in broad daylight
No they didn't get rob they got million dollars and it could've fail

I can’t say I disagree with this statement- ampopfilms
So many legendary concepts came out of the Dino. Even though the city is trash I still love driving out there to see the history of this once great city. Richard came out very nice because he bought a bunch of stock and retired happy cold chillin with his McMillion’s.
Back in the day, people called him “Ray Kroc of shit” like the old saying, crock of shit😐
Never heard that one..
The Mc Donalds brothers were great guys just got taken in by Ray Kroc a pathetic excuse of a man a thief
the movie was a dramatization.
in real life.
kroc offered to buy them out for however much the mcdonald brothers asked for.
however it was kroc that suggested they shake hands on the royalty deal.
now if the mcdonald brothers asked for everything in writing i don't think the sale would've gone through.
so long story short. they got their money but just no royalty. winner kroc in the long haul but at that moment winner mcdonalds.
if the mcdonald brothers cared about the royalty than I don't think thy would've went through with the sale in the first place if they knew just how big their mcdonalds would've turned into. we got to keep in mind this was back in 1961 their burger business was nowhere near the worldwide phenomenon it became.
Didn't see the movie. It is disappointed the Ray Krok gave no credit of McDonalds to the ones who actually started it all. The McDonald's brothers were well on their way before Ray was even a part of the business.
its nice he got the credit in the end
He sure didn’t seem bitter about getting screwed by Ray Kroc.

Thank you, Marcus..
Now this was the McDonald's story i was looking for, the movie should have been done about this guys, it would've been better. Thank you for posting
Well in a way the founder was sort of about them starting the business and of course it also focused on Kroc as well
Those brothers trusted Kroc sad to see that this happend
Yeah
The McDonalds brothers may have “founded” the restaurant concept, but if it weren’t for Ray Kroc, nobody’s outside of San Bernardino, California would have ever heard of McDonalds.
Did you watch the segment of the doc. where Dick states that 19 franchise agreements were secured through Bill Tansee the McDonald Bros 1st franchise agent? Yes, Kroc took it nationwide-
Tansee also failed in his role, effectively citing health reasons to step down. Kroc would go and personally buy most of those franchises with his own money.
@@doddsino Are you saying that Kroc bought the 19 franchises that Tansee signed up? Kroc took over as the franchise agent for 5 years until he bought the operation from the McDonald brothers in 1961- What’s your timeline of Kroc purchasing franchises out of his own pocket?
@@ampopfilms
I said most. This was after 1961.
He also had to purchase territories around Chicago that the brothers failed to mention they had already franchised out as well.
@@doddsino Ok but it wasn’t coming out of Kroc’s personal pocket- I highly doubt that-
Should have gotten that royalty agreement in writing and they needed to trademark the name.
I would have liked to hear what he thought about Ray’s success with mMcDanalds
I will say this, Lenny, Dick invested, heavily, in McDonald’s stock when the company went public after Kroc bought them out.. The point being is that Dick knew that Ray Kroc was going to take McDonalds to that other level..
They made a good double meat burger
Ray Kroc was interviewsd on the "Tomorrow" show with Tom Snyder and Kroc told the story of how he met the McDonald Brothers when he was selling multi-mixers. I'm not sure how accurate his statements were, or perhaps he lied by omission, but on that particular occaision he didn't claim that he dreamed the whole thing up by himself.
He never did. Ray was very honest in his appearances and in his book.
You can say he was cocky, but he was definitely confident in himself and the McDonald's system.
Awww Rick McDonalds your the real President of McDonald’s not ray krocs!
94Blocc King That would be Dick McDonald :)
ampopfilms Agree
The McDonald’s brothers were stupid to sell their controlling rights to McDonald’s to Ray Kroc. Think it was $2 million and some change, equivalent to around $20M today but they would’ve made that a hundred times over. Then Ray put in a McDonald’s right across the street from them, and made Richard and Maurice change the name of their original store. Ruthless as hell but hey gotta give it to the guy. 🤷🏻♂️
It wasn't right across the street (that was a little added drama in the movie, which was otherwise pretty accurate). It's clear in retrospect they made a bad deal, but that had to do with their fairly limited ambitions compared to Kroc's. They should have at least kept a share of the company.
@@simonbone ray kroc promised them 0.5 percent and they didn’t receive a penny from that.
@@melanincathy Correct, that was the handshake deal. Big mistake. If they'd instead sold Kroc 90 percent of the company and retained 10 percent (or 51/49, or 99/1 or whatever) they and their families would be rolling in money. Plus, it would be unlikely that McDonald's Corporation would spend decades calling Kroc the "founder" of a company that "began in Illinois in 1955".
Hamburgers 🍔🍔🍔 sowe good you can put on desk in office for 1 year Mana from Heaven nooo but hey it still looks Good 😊 they even look like a big mushroom 🍄 if your GAZE is from above.
i remember going to Mcdonalds in hadley MA in 1988 maybe 1990, soemtime around then , and getting their supreme pizza for the first time. Man i loved them, i was sad when they stopped making them. i dont eat fast food , often, but my dad liked it. they had their anniversary sale one time, when they sell burgers for 25cents each. my dad got 20 for $5, he ate like 4 or so. we had a pile frozen in our fridge
McDonald’s fries hit different
Dick McDonald was a great entrepreneur and a decent human being. RIP.
I love it. Its simple and makes money. Know at days its all numbers and compliance.
What Colonel Tom Parker was to Elvis Presley, Ray Kroc was to the McDonald brothers.
They were not gonna be worldwide if Kroc didn't come to the party. Sometimes you need think out of the box to be successful.
I can’t disagree with this..
I’m glad their name stuck and the Golden Arches among others. True innovators!!
Why was Nick Offerman chosen to play one of the brothers? He looks nothing like them. Proof that it’s not what you know, but who you know in the business.
There is a contrast between two types of USA and two types of Americans.
On the one hand, the talent, the pleasure of creating quality products. Live in a serene way, be satisfied.
On the other hand, the boundless desire for success, greed, trampling others, making the most of capitalism.
Never be satisfied with yourself.
Ray trampled no one.
Every single person important to the history of McDonald's became a millionaire because of Ray Kroc.
Without Ray Kroc, no one becomes a millionaire.
It's as simple as that.
I think he's gonna be so mad if he knows how crappy his meal became after a guy took their business from them.
i watched the founder , thing is it wouldnt be the number 1 fastfood chain in the world if its not for Krock, when the buy out happened no one knew it will be what it is today,the 2.7Mil USD that they asked for? it is a huge amount of money already, even Krock dont have that during that time... i feel sorry for the brothers, if they are more lenient and open for the ideas and expansions plus open communication it will be a different story for sure...
There is a reason why it’s called a film.
The film took a lot of liberties. We shouldn't use a film as the main basis for history.
Kroc had total believe in the Product , He had to borrow $3 million,ended up paying $18 million back in loans . Chase The Vision , The Money will End Up Following You !!.
i think the mcdonald brothers were just more content with life. they achieved what they wanted to achieve and were not afriad of just moving on.
I love finding these kind of videos. What a great time to visit! Thank you for this video!
this is amazing! bless those brothers. glad they lived good!!!!!
In a way, you could say they stole their ideas too. Or another way of putting it, the "speedy system" is just a multiplication of the "speedy system".
Well, technically, as the McDonald Bros were employing the similar streamlined method that Henry Ford invented when building the Model Ts for the masses.. The brothers were the first to do it and perfect the speedy system when serving up hamburgers.. And subsequently ushered in the Fast Food industry..
There are thousands of innovators today in 2022 who are doing similar things in numerous industries. Here's a toast to us all who are slugging it out through the setbacks and breakthroughs. Keep pressing on!!!!!
Outstanding, StonesAndSand!
McDonald brothers made good burgers, Ray Kroc made McDonalds.
McDonald's isnt bad its some of the employees are something
Inspiring, thanks so much for sharing this!
I won’t eat at McDonald’s anymore after watching “ the founder”
I would love to go back in time and not only try the original McDonald’s Food but also pay the original prices as well I’d come back to the future with 20 hamburgers laughing my ass off about the price… but then again would they even except currency from the future I’d have to hunt down old currency just to buy in their time

Can anyone tell me the real recipe
Ray Kroc started it all
Yes, Ray Kroc started the modern day McDonalds and launched it nationally but it was the McDonald Brothers that started it all..
He the inventor not the founder!!!! Face it! No one would know who or what McDonalds is with out Ray Kroc!!! It is clear these two brother could not do what Ray Kroc did and they both had stock and got rich over it! They would have never made the money they did with out Ray Kroc!!!
Tbh he didnt invent anything. The real estate idea wasnt even his he was just very persistent and very lucky. Lucky that he ran into real business men who knew what they were doing. The brothers came up with everything successful with mcdonalds. Honestly they were the winners they created a concept got rich, got stock while the guy who stole the idea is now the legacy of the worst resteraunt in the u.s. rays greed and ideology single handedly made one of the best resteraunts in the world to now a soul less poisen machine. They are now so consumed with greed they changed their fry recipe THEIR FRY RECIPE! Imagine being so greedy that u change the ingrediants of one of your world famous foods
@@lelelew2735quite frankly that's absolute nonsense! That determination created the largest restaurant chain in the world where you approve of it or like it or not. Inventing the idea is wonderful Edison invented a lot of things but JP Morgan made it into trillions.

The McDonald Brothers certainly deserve credit where credit is due but they don't deserve all the credit. No one would even know they never met Ray Kroc. By the way a lot of souls make a lot of money and create a lot of jobs in those businesses.
@paul.fusillo7262 yea alot of jobs in shipping poisen to fellow humans. Money is cool and he made alot but was it worth his soul? The brothers were still rich ,had more than enough to last their lifetime yea they couldve been richer but at what expense. Im just a believer in a legacy and krocs legact is he was a greedy man. Most innovative ideas were not his. So you cant even say hes a good businessman. Without henry he wouldve been bankrupt
@paul.fusillo7262 anyone couldve did what he did honestly. The brothers just wasnt as money hungry
But you know what i will give kroc credit for being talentless ,not very bright yet became a multi millionaire he was desperate and got his family out of poverty. But to not give them their royalties was spiteful he was jealous and envious he didnt create mcdonalds and hated dick amd ray because they did.
@@lelelew2735 It is disappointing that you have such sustained for Successful People! The fact is "not anyone" could have built a business like he did! You are somehow unhappy with your life and feel it necessary to lash out at others! NO ONE has been as successful at building a restaurant franchise as Ray Kroc, "period"! The brothers "in real life tried to do it but were unsuccessful until Ray Kroc arrived. Ignorance and idealism never built anything but animosity and war. No one is a saint in the world. Not the brothers or Kroc. But, all of them built a Legacy and families that endure today!
We reformulate the instant shakes and ice-cream ect... to keep the patents "fresh". With our contract we love McDonald's.
Family.
Be safe, be kind, have hope.
Fantastic video... Wow... Love Dick's attitude... A very smart but at the same time simple man... The whole history fascinates me. I live on Long Island and I think read that the Bay Shore McDonalds was the first in Suffolk County and that it was built in 1953?
Wonderful video. He reminds me of my late grandfather. A gentleman. Thank you for putting this together and sharing this.
I'd always prefer quality over expanding if the quality drops.
The quality would have been at that one specific location.
Mac and Dick didn't oversee any protocols of any of the other locations and allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
Kroc on the other hand wanted a uniform business that only bought the same materials from the company. He also was insistent on getting the fries right, something that he goes over in explicit detail in his book.
I guess it's not my place to say if the quality went down since I wasn't alive in San Bernardino in 1961. What I do know is that regardless of quality, McDonald's would not exist today once they were gobbled up by one of the many other burger chains looking to become that big national burger chain.
Love listening to him tell their story ❤️
From going by what the film 🎞 The Founder howled McDonald’s brothers wanted big franchises but didn’t have the man power so Ray Kroc did it
The well loved McDonald's hamburger will always be a part of world history...💯
Exceptional video! We just watched the Founder for the first time and it helped clarify several questions we had. Thank you for putting this together!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you-
What a wonderful man.
Wow...I know movies like to disregard the truth, but it seems that The Founder was full of grade-A bs. As I write this, there are two other videos on how the brothers were "scammed", but it seems like everyone made out pretty good.
so they were not spiteful!
I mean I get it and tbh I was mad at Roy when I seen the movie to. But if you think about it he wasn’t making nothing out of that contract.. and who was to say that they weren’t dicking him? so he probably felt played. They should’ve did a lot of things differently and watched him more. But I know it’s human nature most of the times that if you feel that someone played you or is playing you, aren’t you gonna play them back and even more efficiently? Should be a lesson learned if anything
They actually pulled their restaurant out of the deal after they had closed. This meant that Kroc had to purchase another plot of land in San Bernardino for a new McDonald's. It wasn't across the street as the movie shows though.
You only live once , why the 1% was canceled by a handshake 🤝 💀 😐 🙁
I can still hear the New England accent in Dick's voice. Even Southern California couldn't take that away!
well actually dick lived in southern california from 1927 - 1967 so he lived in so cal for around 40 years he went back to new hampshire and lived there until he died in 1998 40 years in so cal vs 49 years in new hampshire.
The Brothers were the founders of McDonald's, but without Kroc the company wouldn't be what it is today. And 'The Founder' shows why the Brothers couldn't have handled a business the size it became under Kroc. They hadn't the brutality and toughness this ultra capitalism needs. Everybody can decide if this is the right way, regarding that Kroc got the bigger acknowledgment for his work franchising the idea of others.
I can’t disagree here- All valid points- Ampopfilms
f*** quality. i need the money. i would’ve done the same
He was an American but also a proud Scottish McDonald.
One of Dick’s post McDonalds proposed ventures was a chain of motels across America called “ A Wee Bit of Scotland”.. It never materialized but it speaks to what you just mentioned, GioTio123- Ampopfilms
Kroc was nasty.
