In 1939 two brothers , Mac and Dick DmcDonald , started a drive –in restaurant in Sna Bemadino , California . They carefully chose a busy corner for their location . They had run their own businesses for years , first a theater , then a barbecue restaurant , then a barbecue restaurant , then another drive-in . But in their new operation , they offered a new , shortened menu: French fries , hamburgers , and sodas . To this minimal selection they added one new concept : quick service , o waiters or waitresses , and no tips .

Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents . Cheese was another four cents . Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity (相同性) , for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food , and they insisted on their cook’s sticking to the routine . Their new drive-in became incredibly (非常地) popular , particularly for lunch . People rove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime . The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened ; they were content with this small success until they met Ray Kroc .
