McDonald's is the world's largest fast food chain by revenue, generating over $23 billion annually from more than 40,000 restaurants in over 100 countries. By total number of locations, Subway once surpassed McDonald's with over 44,000 restaurants in 2011, but has since closed many locations. McDonald's serves approximately 69 million customers daily worldwide.
McDonald's was originally founded by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in 1940 in San Bernardino, California. They developed the innovative 'Speedee Service System' that revolutionized fast food. Ray Kroc, a milkshake mixer salesman, joined in 1954 and began franchising the concept in 1955. He ultimately bought the company from the brothers for $2.7 million in 1961 and built it into a global empire.
Chick-fil-A generates the highest revenue per restaurant of any major US fast food chain, averaging over $8 million per location annually. This is particularly remarkable because Chick-fil-A is closed every Sunday, meaning it achieves this figure while operating only six days a week. The chain's focus on customer service, limited menu, and devoted customer base contribute to its exceptional per-unit performance.
