I’ve worked at McDonald’s for a couple years and my biggest takeaway from his vids is how efficient, clean, and most of all QUIET his kitchen and staff are. You can tell they are well trained and he is an owner that cares about his franchise that he makes it a relaxed and clean environment for his employees. I’m willing to bet he hasn’t posted many job applications for a while because his staff seems like they love working there.

[@outroseok]

[@ET-df2xz]

I wonder if McDonald's would look towards a more 'stairstep' arrangement for the cheese when it comes in.. It's the biggest struggle in efficiency I see. One would believe that in manufacturing they would be able to work with their purveyors to accommodate this in the initial packaging. I don't think this would change any space in the box packaging either. It's a major efficiency change they should consider, so long as it makes cost conscious sense. It seems to be the biggest hold up on the grill, especially when down to the last 3 slices in a stack

[@willdwyer2167]

an excellent point.

[@TR47]

Each slice is slightly offset from the previous and next, in an alternating pattern-a sliver of the edge is hanging to allow for easier peeling.

[@ET-df2xz]

@@TR47 Are the positions of #1 and #3 the same? With #2 being offset from the prior and future? I think that might be the issue going back to the same pattern prior. It needs to be a continual 'stairstep' out from each and every piece. If they shortened the stacks to, lets say 10 pieces, a true stairstep could be created for max efficiency. Regardless, I think Mcdonald's should spend time further perfecting this. It's definitely an efficiency shortfall how it sits now, regardless of what the solution is.

[@teresahillyard1377]

I was thinking the same thing. I worked at B.K. In the mid 80’s and that’s what they did!

[@ljlkjll]

I love these videos and like everyone else I find them very relaxing. BUT the craziest thing to me about his videos is that there is no beeping in the background. That means that all the notifications for the food machines have been taken care of and nothing is waiting to be pressed. I have NEVER been to a McDonalds where there wasn't one million beeps going on in the background. I think it speaks to his management style and the training the team has to be efficient and on top of everything!

[@mooms5762]

The difference here is 15 employees clocked in at 10:55 am. Store I work at refuses to pay for more than 7-9 at peak hours and this isn’t even busy which makes it easier on top of that.

I worked at McD 45 years ago when all there was for sandwiches was Mac, Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Fish and 1/4 LB. Was crew then later manager. I learned many things at McD but mostly how to handle pressure. It was a very high volume store which went full tilt from 11am to 10 pm. 10 or more people working in the kitchen, 8 registers with cashier and runner, two fry stations. Still mixing shakes on a spindle. The good old days.
