The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California. Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant. It was a concept that created a production line of hamburgers that were made before being ordered. This concept pioneered the fast food industry and was in complete contrast to most restaurants that only prepared food after the customer had placed their order.
The first McDonald's restaurant opened in Des Plaines Illinois on April 15, 1955. The introduction of Ronald McDonald as a brand face and the release of the Big Mac burger were seen in the 1960s. The launch of Big Mac burger has grown turning out to become the most popular burger of McDonald's. Their first day sales were $366.12.  By 1965 there would be over 700 McD's throughout the United States. In 1967 McDonald's went international with restaurant openings in Canada and Puerto Rico.
