Maurice McDonald

Maurice McDonald was an American entrepreneur who, along with his brother Dick, co-founded the original McDonald's restaurant. They pioneered the fast-food industry by developing an efficient, simplified method for preparing and serving food quickly, emphasizing standardization, cleanliness, and quick service. Their innovative approach included a limited menu, assembly-line food production, and the use of a self-service model. Maurice’s contributions helped lay the foundation for what would become one of the world's largest and most recognizable fast-food chains, transforming the way people dine out and fueling the growth of the modern fast-food industry.
