Richard and Maurice McDonald

Richard James McDonald and Maurice James McDonald, collectively known as the McDonald Brothers, were American entrepreneurs who founded the fast food company McDonald's. They opened the original McDonald's restaurant in 1940 in San Bernardino, California, where they created the Speedee Service System to produce their meals, a method that became the standard for fast food. After hiring Ray Kroc as their franchise agent in 1954, they continued to run the company until they were bought out by Kroc in 1961. ^{Richard McDonald, American businessman, co-founded McDonald's (d. 1998)}
