They temporarily closed their restaurant, built a simplified menu around their best-liked products, designed a more efficient interior and re-opened with self-service at the former car hop windows. McDonald’s Thus, they invented the self-service, drive-in concept that was a limited-menu, paperservice, hand-out operation, featuring 15-cent hamburgers, 19-cent cheeseburgers, 20-cent malts and 10-cent French fries. After a slow start, business boomed. In 1952, American Restaurant Magazine ran a cover story on the phenomenal success of the brother's new concept. McDonald’s In 1955, Ray was granted exclusive rights by the brothers to develop and franchise McDonald's drive-ins for the United States. Ray formed McDonald's System, Inc. in 1955. Ray opened the 9th McDonald's, his first, in Des Plaines, IL, in April 1955. In 1961, Ray bought from the McDonald's brothers the proprietary rights to the McDonald's system, including all rights to the rest of the world. The organization that Ray founded -today's McDonald's Corporation -- proceeded to add more than 23,000 McDonald's restaurants and 4,500 franchisees across more than 111 countries around the world.

Key words include eating habits, GDP, economic, political situation competition. For example, Different countries have different eating habits. The Chinese have a saying “Good things for breakfast. Eating a big meal for lunch but eating less at dinner.” CON’T Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different. Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner.
