McDonald's Corporation, born in 1955 as a humble drive-in restaurant by Ray Kroc, has burgeoned into a global gastronomic icon, serving billions with its signature golden arches. Boasting a presence in over 100 countries, McDonald's has surpassed fast-food status to become a cultural and economic force unto itself. With over 38,000 outlets worldwide, it employs millions and feeds millions more daily, making it one of the world's largest employers and suppliers of beef, potatoes, and lettuce. McDonald's menu innovations are a testament to its adaptability, introducing regional specialties like the McSpicy Paneer in India or the Teriyaki Burger in Japan.

 

Beyond its iconic fare, the company has pledged to use only sustainably sourced coffee and achieve 100% recycling in all locations by 2025, demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility.
