McDonald's is one of the world's most recognizable fast-food chains. At its core, McDonald's is a modern-day hamburger stand, offering a variety of quick-service foods to customers around the globe.

The menu is centered around burgers, sandwiches, salads, fruit, and breakfast items, with most locations also serving fries and soft drinks. The iconic Big Mac sandwich is one of McDonald's most famous offerings. This signature two-all-beef-patty burger features special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun.

McDonald's was founded in 1955 by Ray Kroc, who bought the rights to the original restaurant from brothers Dick and Mac McDonald for $2.7 million. Today, McDonald's has over 38,000 locations in more than 100 countries, with most restaurants open 24 hours a day.

The food is generally priced low, making it an affordable option for people of various income levels. The value menu at many locations provides customers with cheap options such as burgers, fries, and drinks for under $5.
