McDonald's Corporation is an American quick-service restaurant company that operates and franchises the McDonald's chain of fast-food restaurants worldwide. The brand traces to a hamburger stand opened by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California, in 1940; the modern corporation dates to Ray Kroc's franchising company, incorporated in 1955. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the company operates in more than 100 countries through a heavily franchised model — roughly 95% of restaurants are run by independent franchisees, developmental licensees, and affiliates — with corporate revenue coming largely from franchise royalties, rents, and fees rather than direct food sales. Its menu centers on beef burgers (Big Mac, Quarter Pounder with Cheese), chicken (Chicken McNuggets, McCrispy, Snack Wrap), World Famous Fries, breakfast items (Egg McMuffin, Sausage McMuffin, hash browns), desserts, and McCafé beverages, sold alongside value constructs such as the McValue menu and Extra Value Meals, plus the Happy Meal for children. The company competes on price/value, speed, drive-thru and delivery convenience, digital app and loyalty ordering, and one of the world's most recognized trademarks, the Golden Arches.
