In 1940 in San Bernardino, California, Richard and Maurice McDonald opened their own barbeque restaurant. They used the “Speedee Service System,” and their new assembly line tactic lowered their costs and kept service insanely quick. 

The one and only Ray Kroc sold shake mixers to the brothers and convinced them to let him open a McDonald’s franchise. Fast forward, and on April 15, 1955, the first McDonalds in his franchise was born. McDonald’s grew to become a global powerhouse, now available in 120 countries! The team truly mastered the art of getting to know their customers.

Today is National McDonald’s Day and, also appropriately, Get to Know Your Customers Day! To celebrate, we encourage you to grab a Big Mac, or a salad for a healthy alternative, and enjoy! Also, take a moment to get to know a favorite client and improve your relationship. Send sweet sentiments along with Le Petit Café Trois Gift Box today!
