To make something a success you need to build a team, with the right people in the right places. Harry was very instrumental in that turn around, but it was Ray who brought the the team together to include Harry.
Well you are correct. When McDonald's severed it's 50th billionth hamburger in 1984, they served it to Dick McDonald as he cooked the first. Ray was about how to sell what the McDonald brothers created. Also the brothers allowed 7 locations to open before Ray came but they only charged at one time 1,000 dollar fee. One of these locations is in Downey, Cal which is the oldest operating McDonald's in the world. Without Ray, McDonalds would have been about an 8 location chain & may not exist now.
@@princyg6025 He didn't steal anything. He bought out the brothers business. It was sold to him for a considerable amount of money, the only deception was leaving out the fee from the contract, which again the brothers knew it off yet steal continued with the sale. See interviews with the family of the McDonalds, there's no bitterness.
mik 02910 it wasn’t sold. he lied to them and they are owed hundreds of millions if not billions by now. he was sued and that’s what he didn’t pay off, not “buying” it. he broke many laws to get where he was, there was nothing clever about it. if being successful and an inspiration just includes breaking laws as long as you’re successful in the end then i’m sure i can be an inspiration too. and they trusted him enough to pay what he had to but he tricked them. he said shareholders wouldn’t agree to a new contract, but he was the only shareholder. he was finding reasons not to make it official and they wanted him to be successful and him having known them for many years, including their health problems, thought he would care that he was scamming them. but he didn’t. because he was obsessed with winning and not giving a shit if he drove others into the ground
who cares if they did not have more branches.. the real idea of fast food was from mcdonald brothers and without that idea ray fcking croc would be salesman all his life.. if he was a real entrepreneur he would have come up with his own idea and make it big.. here he manipulated the idea and also did not pay them royalty..
@chloe-dr4rk you are so very wrong. Crackhead no crystal ball. He took a chance on the McDonald's concept it could have failed. Which laws did he break? I know facts. Without Croc McDonald's would never even be part of anyone's discussion. And a million dollars tax-free there's lots of money back then. Very very much money. So your point is a moot. Since I know you have no crystal ball either.
@@do-or-die5822well he didn't feel that they were entitled to it. And they really weren't. If you invent a cure for cancer and do nothing with the idea. Then what's the point? It's all in the execution of an idea.
I wouldn't be so sure of that. Someone working IN the system vs working ON the system looks the same on the outside. Only the motive is different. One is working on building the asset the other on making money.
He's talking about working on your company, building it, turning it into everything you want it to be by designing it and then building your design. But his point is that while you work ON it, don't lose yourself working IN it. Easier said than done...
Ray Kroc was a shady and a cut throat businessman but without him McDonald's would have never been as big as it today. The McDonald brothers had no vision.
he's like steve jobs, steve jobs didn't create the phone or computer he wasn't a computer programmer, he just had a vison as how it should be implemented
Sugarcoat all you want, but at the bottom line it's theft. Ray stole something very innovative from other people and made it work for himself, driven by his sheer greed.
It's kinda like Edison vs Telsa... what is most important, serving as many people as possible vs a selection of the many? I'd say serving as many as possible is greater than not delivering as many.
He didn't really steal anything but Burger king...they walked into the mcdonalds brothers kitchen and left with a stolen concept. Steve jobs he went into xerox and stole the computer mouse software. There isn't much innovation if everyone works off their own ideas...But I will say that Wendys Dave Thomas was a class act in fact without him we wouldn't have KFC most likely.
@@JackKincaid.. First of all it was a joke... If it wasn't funny to you why did you comment. Did your wife leave you or something?? You just had to put your "two sense" in.
@@wordpresslife7551 Second of all, it wasn't funny. And third of all, to let you know that Sanders is gone just in case you didn't know. And forth of all, I was trying to help you look less stupid. Sorry. PS.. It's Cents not sense. Lol!!
Rac Kroc didn't make McDonalds a success, if you knew the factual history it was others who got the chain where it was, Ray was going down in flames until he was told what to do. Rays brilliances of the Hula Burger, powder "milk shakes" really showed his lack of knowledge . If Ray ran the show McDonalds would have been a foot note in fast food. Under his influence the took a 30 second service time to several minutes.
I think you need to understand history. Ray knew to put people around him who knew other parts of the business. Ray had the vision, he hired soldiers for the rest.
AZDuffman I fully understand the history, have read a large number of books about the restaurant industry, have met people that knew him and have first hand food industry knowledge have worked with many McDonald s staff from crew to executives so my knowledge is very extensive on Ray
If ray Kroc was so terrible, how did it go from no successful franchises to thousands by the time of Kroc's death? "Today McDonalds is not doing well" Really? The stock price has never been higher. Perhaps you ought to talk to some of the people that knew him again.
Steal... He gave the McDonald brothers what would would be 17.3 million in today's dollars for pretty much them doing nothing. They had already tried to franchise and failed.
@@TheBaldr what about the royalties they were ripped off remember he would be still selling milkshake machines so he can thank the McDonald brothers may he burn in hell
bad story, Ray was not an excellent businessman. never had success before McDonald's. McDonald's existed 15 years before he met the McDonalds brothers. he robbed the brothers' business. is a thief
He didn't "walk into McDonald's" to sell them anything. He went there to see why he had sold them something, that is 8 multi-mixers. And he walked out with less than he "walked in with." Only after he had managed to overcome the brothers incompetence, did he have anything.
You can't fool me with that hat Colonel Sanders
Just what I thought, how can KFC promote McDonalds?
The Colonel has committed an act of high treason.
COWARD!
Dive Into New English 🤣😂🤣🤣
AAARRRGGGGHHHHHH
Wasn't he on Jurassic Park?
"Ray Kroc spared no expense"
the only things hurt me is that they never get there royalities. very bad.
Harry Sonneberg made McDonald's success. It was going under until Harry worked his magic. And continued for 20 years.

The McDonald brothers had no vision.
Maybe they did have a vision.
But maybe their vision was just Different than Ray’s vision.
Oh, how what he is saying is so important....for that reason, I wish he would have had a wind screen so he doesn't pop his letter "P"'s
AAARRRGGGGHHHHHHH
Branding of name is important
Ray Kroc is kind of cruel. But that’s life
He was a cheating sociopath who got lucky. In And out is a better place
shrewd
ray should have preserved the original mcdonalds that dick and mac built from scratch as a historic signature mcdonalds
in san bernadino california
How to be greedy and how to steal ideas. These are the things you will learn from Kroc.
he's like steve jobs, steve jobs didn't create the phone or computer he wasn't a computer programmer, he just had a vison as how it should be implemented
Without jobs no apple plus they was about to go bankrupt lol so they call Steve not no programmer 😂
This is excellent
I thought that was John Hammond when I saw the thumbnail.
I like this guy!
This is called being a opportunist
McDonald’s existed before Ray
The video mentions that.
@@CMZIEBARTH I don't know if hamburgers existed before mcdonalds
Feel jealous by ray croc
he just saw the opportunity that brother's didn't.
Ray Croc. Greed?
That too

Colonel Sanders?
Now McDonald’s is getting Apprente
when did mcdonalds started selling coffee that's why people go there it's not the burgers anymore
Never eat at McDonald’s til they pay the McDonald family what they owe them....
ray wasn't the founder

perhaps everyone doesn't want to go global, that's not what dick and mac's dream was about
Learn to steal McDonald's from 2 brothers
