I’m Australian and it is almost comforting how all McDonalds restaurants have the same “sounds/noises” no matter where they are around the world! Love your content. 🎉

[@was1069]

the fact that they are the same sounds is intentionally. the goal is that you should be able to go to any mcdonalds in the world and get the same thing so to speak. if u r a cook or a customer they whole point is to make it feel and taste the same. different parts of the world and all the basic sandwiches are there.

Our managers would hardly ever work the line, and would just stay in the office unless it was the lunch rush. Plus our restaurant was severely understaffed.

[@TDMFAN]

Worked at maccas for about 4 years a decade ago, could make them this neat while working twice as fast easily. He spread out the wrapped burgers way too much. He could do all the McDoubles and Double Cheeseburgers together, zip along with the mustard then the ketchup, recon and pickles then cheese and then spread them out as you wrap and probably save several minutes. If I had 40 burgers to make I'd aim to do at most five runs of eight burgers at a time, otherwise you're just wasting time going back and forward.

[@trebot9292266]

actually pretty slow. you can tell this is a low flow store from how he's handling it. this is probably the biggest order they got since he started working there. edit: got times to prove what i said. Took 2 minutes not counting the cuts to make 4 bigmacs while cutting corners. unless he was waiting on the 10-1 for the bigmacs theres 0 reason it should take that long. He also cross contaminated the hell out of those Bigmacs.

Gosh I am so hungry from this. I love how the person orders all this stuff and then doesn't take into account room in the car to fit it all.

The people I worked with taught me how to keep it clean too and I am forever grateful bc it taught me how to clean my home too.

[@Angel-nh5jm]

I loved how rythmic everything was like once you learned your way around the kitchen it was almost like you could float around doing the job without thinking. And could listen to music or a podcast etc. We always swapped out who worked where so everyone got alone time in the back and everyone took their fair share of customer time. Everyone respected each other better bc everyone could do al the jobs plus bc everyone could do all the jobs it was super easy to move people around and be flexible with schedules. It was such a nice little place to work and I would have stayed and tried for gm if the salary wasn't so low.

Im gonna be honest. Just started working at McDonalds, so there is that.. One thing I wish they bring back is the international menu options perhaps making it permanent, but the items swap out every month. There is plenty of variety to go around and I think it would be pretty cool to see. Ik McDonalds did it as a limited time event with some international foods (like the Bacon Cheese Fries). I dont think the Hula Burger would be welcomed, though. (For those who dont know, it was introduced as a sales competition, to decide whether the filet o’ fish was added to the menu or not.

All new way of working these days though, McDonald's in the Netherlands works the same as how it's shown in these video's, before you'd just make runs of products at the grill which were stashed for a maximum of 10 minutes and you had some sort of supply of Big Macs and Quarterpounders and what not.

I've been working in kitchens for nearly 20yrs. They're all different; they're all the same. Always been nervous starting in a new one, but once you know where everything is and 'The Routine', you get into the swing pretty quickly. Good luck 👍.

And how is it? Are you still working there?

[@subgodpumpkin1178]

as a fast food worker, if I saw 40 combo meals on screen I'd get beyond angry, but I obviously wouldn't mess up the food. You seem like you enjoy what you do so big ups

To be honest, as someone who's worked over 16 years in the business, he didn't do a bad job at all. It appeared though that there were staffing issues, and he had to balance being fast with filling multiple roles. Nobody is absolutely perfect at everything. Typically you're supposed to make 2 sandwiches at a time, however that is when you have a toaster person, and a cabinet person, to the left and right of the person dressing the sandwiches. That way it's faster, you can partially complete 2 sandwiches and work on the next while the cabinet person is wrapping them up, food is constantly moving and therefore your waiting times are very low.

Question 🙋‍♂️, what time (roughly) do you guys start reviewing up lunch (when breakfast time is still going (but almost done))?

[@StephenPatula]

About 30 minutes before changeover

So I have a serious question. I had my first filet o fish sandwich in probably 7-8 years, this past Friday night. Has the size of the fish filet been drastically reduced in that time? When I opened the box, I thought it was a sandwich meant for a child, it was that tiny..

[@djroyel]

All food is getting smaller while the prices keep increasing

[@sethterwilliger9434]

look at the size difference between the regular hamburger and quater pounder, there are almost the same size now

[@was1069]

no, they are still the same size. while everyone else in the industry has a much larger fish patty. it makes me wonder why they haven't increased the size. but it is still the same size. the racks that you cook them in still have the same spacing when u cook them so they are not or have not gotten smaller.

[@markthacker9975]

@@sethterwilliger9434 by definition the amount of meat stays the same. Reg meat is used in the hamburgers which is a tenth of a pound (10:1), and quarter meat used for the quarters is a quarter of a pound (4:1). It might look different but the weight and therefore amount of meat is the same

[@freedomfan4272]

@Mark not sure if you like Arby's or not but I've Been told the new Fish sandwich they offer is really good. I can say from personal experience Culver's has a really good fish sandwich

[@siobhanmurphy6301]

Kind of interesting how making Big Macs have changed and sandwiches in general. We used to make 6 Big Macs at a time - the first step was to put 6 heels and 6 clubs in the toaster. while they were toasting, you dropped 12 10:1 patties on the grill. after the patties were dropped - you pulled the heels and clubs out of the toaster and put the 6 crowns in the toaster - you dressed the heels and clubs - mac sauce, rehydrated onions, lettuce, pickles on the clubs, cheese on the heel. after dressing the patties were ready, you pulled the patties off the grill and then pulled the crowns out of the toaster and assembled the Big Macs. about minute 30 secs to get 6 big macs fresh off the grill.

@@clownman7473 they had more sales, but the profit margin is way low on breakfast. So like most companies they ignored all context on what people were ordering and thought taking it away would continue the increased sales but with the higher profit foods.

I still remember when i worked at MC ( I was about 15) we had an sale for cheeburgers and hamburgers for just 20 czk (its 0,9 usd). This was for a whole month. I used to come to work and do just cheeseburgers over and over and over again. I did around 200-300 per and 8 hour shift. It was absolute madness
