I’m actually glad you post these videos because there’s this take that working at McDonald’s sucks and the way they do there food is terrible, but it turns out it’s no different from working in a pub or a restaurant kitchen team work and working together well
Food in Macdonald's is still bad, saying it as a MacDonald's worker. All what you have to do is just put frozen food in grill/deep fryer and wait some time, then do some simple moves and that's it. But this is monotonous and you can start feeling tired of it even after an hour of work, so it's hard work. Also McDonald's is constantly short of employees (in country where I work) so you have to multitask which causes more tiredness. This work is unthankful. It's good that I'm going to change job soon
Hi I work as a kitchen crew at McDonald's in Japan. I wish McDonald's in Japan introduced seasoning equipment lol But it will be disassembled and cleaned every day, so the work of the closed sink is likely to increase lol
I worked at McDonald’s back in 1969 in Hawaii. We had an open grill and all burgers were grilled and dressed by hand. Milk shakes were made to order, filet of fish were fried to order. The burgers just do not taste the same😭 Just too much technology.
Milk shakes are still made to order. Sadly Filet O' Fish is not but it should be, seeing as how few we take. Unfortunately, it takes 3 1/2 minutes to cook, so that's probably why we don't.
I worked at McDonald's back in 2001-2002, I did grill a lot. We had 4 'clam' grills that were bigger than these in video. Could fit I think it was 12 regular patties or 6 or 9 quarter pounder patties. Had to manually close them to start cooking but they were on timer and would open automatically. And we didn't have to wear gloves back then, I would have hated having hands sweating in those plastic things. We had to wash hands every hour I think and sanitize every 10 or 15 minutes though.
Little tip of advice from a crew trainer: DON'T double glove as you did in the video. Double gloving could result in a tear in the gloves, which would result in you you making contact with the raw proeucts, posing a possible danger to you and/or the customers.
Yeah I don’t understand why he double gloved, if anything its more dangerous to him he is touching the button below with raw meat. But to be fair if those grills cook at the same temperature globally the customer doesn’t have to worry about germs.
@@Goldfishbox77Fair. And it is a lot more dangerous to him. Also it's usually more of an issue of keeping the other workers safe, since those who take the grill afterwards are also touching the same surface (though it should be wiped down frequently).
Yo trabajo en McDonald's aquí en mi país España y lo que hace el hombre del video en el minuto 2:13 aqui no se puede hacer , si una carne no esta bien hecha al levantarse la plancha esa carne tengo que tirarla .
Great video. How often do the cooked burger trays get washed? Kind of gross seeing you put down a clean piece of paper and watching the grease from the previous batch soak through.
They're washed once every 24 hours. The grease is all from the meat so there's nothing really disgusting about it - it's just burger grease, which you'll (obviously) find on the burgers from the first batch anyway.
I've worked other fast food besides mcds,, and let me tell you.. Mcds has their shit DOWN. They've 100% invested a good amount into their tech employees deal with on a daily basis that both makes it easier for employees and efficient for pumping food out.
What meat that's actually in it is 100 % beef the rest we may never know for sure. Biggest problem for me is I can't afford Mcd's anymore. Or any other fastfood. I remember 0.15 cent cheeseburger 🍔 that's how old I am. 😂 Gas was 0.29/9 a gallon. Bidonomics has made life miserable.
How hard can it be to cook a burger Put on the gloves stick the parties on put the sauce on top close to grill set the timer Then it’s cooked on both sides Then you put in the bun with whatever toppings Stevie Wonder could do that
Yes, for health and hygiene, sure.... but think about the big picture. All those plastic gloves end up back in the earth. They need to be biodegradable. Not to mention: the long-term mental health effects of a tedious and menial task.
This is literally fuck up proof, but I’ve had mine done exactly that way. A Big Mac with no burger or lettuce on the top half of it. I worked at McD’s during the Stone Age and had quit just after the clamshell grill came. It was a plain grill. There was a timer that had dials that could be adjusted for eggs, 10:1 patties, 4:1 patties, sausage, etc. put the meat down, hit the timer. Timer goes off, flip the burger and hit the timer again. Pull them when it went off the second time. We had to mix the salt and pepper in an aluminum shaker and shake it onto the burgers…nothing portion controlled. Made Big Mac sauce and tarter sauce for filet o fish. Didn’t come prepackaged. Cut our own tomatoes and onions. Buns were toasted in a toaster to perfection. That all had to be taught or learned on the fly. There were sheets explaining how to do it if you didn’t know. Nothing was kept in a warmer. It was literally making 12 hamburgers or 6 quarter pounders and they were sold as they were made. FRESH. HOT. Cheese melted. This is literally automated with the exception of dropping the Patty and picking it up and placing it on a bun. Everything is prepackaged. Everything comes already made. I’m not shitting on your post mate. Just trying to explain how much harder it was…making $2.20 an hour. You have NO CLUE how good you have it! Interesting to see how it’s all changed.
true bro i feel you. i work at mcdonalds in denmark and we for some reason have to be alot quicker he is going slow asf. its true everthing comes premade you just have to put things into machines and hit a button :/
I worked at McDonald's. We had the clam shell grills. We would do (12) 10:1 and (9) 4:1 at a time during lunch and dinner rush. I found it much easier and faster to cook to order after the rushes. So many stories I could tell on how things should have been done and how things were done..
Edit for the post above.: This method is to control food costs, not for speed anymore. Just see how long it takes to go through drive thru when they are busy. It makes no sense to wait 8-10 minutes to get your order, and nothing is even fresh.
@@P4p4Smurf But it leaves them open to a multi billion class action suit. And besides simple DNA and chemical testing of the food will tell you all you need to know and if some independent consumer group hasn’t caught them by now, wouldn’t you think there’s nothing to it. Just takes a little common sense.

his co worker seems to be friendly but not all McDonald's workers is like that😂
Now I'm hungry
You really start to see the future of automation here. Even some of the movements at the grill have become automated by robotics .
in my country we just put the burgers on a rail to cook them lol
on the left side we put redbulls
on the middle its 250
on the right royale
I cannot wait to go to McDonald's to order a burger just to see it has onions cooked with it that's a lawsuit waiting to happen for you
Ai wish I could have a big Big Mac right now
And add yellow american cheese for 100% pure beef patty burgers in McDonald's

110% beef
What's in the shakers? Or that stuff you're putting on the patties
The shakers are onions, and the squeeze one is salt and pepper
Was a conspiracy a few years back that Beef patties were made out of human flesh. Had to search and see it for myself. This is 100% beef from COW.
There are Indian guys working too
