"The Founder" is a biographical drama film that chronicles the rise of Ray Kroc and the establishment of the McDonald's fast-food chain. The film starts by introducing Ray Kroc, a struggling milkshake machine salesman from Illinois, in the early 1950s. He is frustrated with his career and struggling financially.
In 1954, Kroc receives an order for eight milkshake machines from a small burger joint in San Bernardino, California called "McDonald's." Intrigued by the large order, Kroc travels to Southern California to meet the owners, Mac and Dick McDonald. Kroc is immediately astounded by the efficiency and uniqueness of their fast-food system, where food is served quickly and consistently, revolutionizing the concept of the American fast-food industry.
Recognizing the tremendous potential for expansion, Kroc convinces the skeptical Mac and Dick to allow him to franchise their restaurant concept. Together, they establish the first franchised McDonald's in Des Plaines, Illinois in 1955. As Kroc starts expanding the franchise, he faces multiple hurdles, including resistance from skeptical franchisees who question his vision and reluctant lenders who refuse to support his ambitious plans.
As the franchise begins to grow, Kroc finds himself conflicted with the McDonald brothers as their priorities and visions differ. Mac and Dick prioritize maintaining the quality and identity of the original restaurant, while Kroc envisions McDonald's as a massive corporation with uniformity and standardized processes.
Kroc eventually seizes an opportunity to gain full control of the company by buying out the land on which the original McDonald's stands and the rights to the McDonald's name from the brothers. He subsequently pushes them aside, remaking the corporation in his image and pursuing an aggressive expansion strategy, eventually transforming McDonald's into a global phenomenon.
As the years pass, Kroc's success leads him to navigate various challenges, such as conflicts with franchisees, legal battles, and personal disappointments. He becomes a ruthless businessman, driven by ambition and a desire for wealth and success.
"The Founder" portrays the story of Ray Kroc as a complex and controversial figure, who while being responsible for the growth of one of the most significant fast-food chains in history, is also depicted as someone who takes credit for the achievements of others and shows little loyalty to those who aided his rise to success.
Overall, the film delves into the fascinating tale of the inception and transformation of McDonald's, showcasing how a struggling salesman took advantage of an innovative concept and turned it into a multibillion-dollar empire, forever shaping the global fast-food industry.
