McDonald’s basically started because Ray Kroc sold them a machine to automate making shakes.
There is a great movie on Hulu or Vudu right now called “The founder” that is about how Ray Kroc took over and made McD’s a huge success.
Very interesting. Sort of entertaining. Michael Keaton plays Ray Kroc.
The brothers were thinking small, actually working at their first shop every day, while Kroc was opening up McD’s nation wide. They could not see it.
