This should be the gold standard for all McDonald's branches. The one near me actually used a freaking weighing scale just recently, with us customers ending up with around 70-80% of what you serve in the video.
The main thing I notice in these videos is how polite all the staff are to each other, and thats clearly modelled behaviour from Stephen. People never sound annoyed even during the busiest times, its calm, people are respectful, and it sounds pleasant
@@justthetruth2662Well, some may and some don't.. And I don't think he's just doing it because he's filming something so people can watch it. I think he's personally one of those McDonald's that fills the fry containers completely so you 1: get what you actually pay for and 2: have the satisfaction and you wanna keep coming back to that establishment.
McDonald’s need to commend you on the excellence and Pride of your work ethics. It needs to be mandatory that every employee watch at least one video a week. Show that they need to take pride in their work.
First of all, I wish your McDonald's was one that I could go to...the quality of the food prep and accuracy blows my local McD's away and I'm envious! Second, the videos of the switch over from Breakfast to Lunch are super cool to watch...More of those would be awesome. Keep up the great videos!
Even with a couple people down while working at McDonald's.. As long as you have a good team with the people you have, it's always a successful day. The main people you need in order for things to run smoothy are: Back-Cash Front Counter Drive-thru Person(s) to bag front counter/drive-thru orders. And ofc Kitchen Staff The extra people are there to make it go by faster and help when needed. Take him helping on line for example. If someone ends up doing 2 Stations to help the Crew then that's okay

Brings back memories. My first job was at the McDonalds near Six Flags Great adventure in the early 2000’s. What a 💩 show it was during that first summer, but I loved it.
That's what I love about good bosses - when they help out if needed. You've worked every station for a while before opening your own restaurants? Some bosses have a "I don't care - figure it out!" mentality. I've quited some jobs because of that. Every job requires teamwork and you don't care what you have to do - you go in and help.
I’ve worked at 3 different McDonald’s in my life and this is the first McDonald’s I’ve seen where the owner actually goes into the store and works among everyone else
Solid leadership from good character. It's contagious around the right people. It's the difference between that and a "boss." No one respects a boss; wants to go out of their way for them. Leaders earn their strong following by helping others build it from within. I envy this store.
If only most McDonald operated like this one. Teamwork is the dream work. Love how no one is getting distracted everyone is focused, ready and moving forward no nonsense. That’s how it should be.
@ correct, and I wonder if the cook time is still 2:30. We would take them out after cooking 2:00 when busy, I thought they were great at 2:00 but you needed to eat them soon.
At the last Maccas I worked at I would frequently call off if I had suspected I was going to be positioned in the kitchen for my entire shift. I got really good at estimating my station assignments for the day yet no one ever caught on or if they had ever said anything to me about it. 😂🤣
@@StephenPatula now im hungry for McDonald's. Here in Germany there's an app only special with 1 big Mac, 2 chicken burgers or cheeseburgers 3 medium fries 3 medium soft drinks and 20 Nuggets for 24,99. :)
@@stevenwinderlich2891 exactly this and as Stephen says in his own replies, when you have a feel for things you often can keep it going based on intuition as well as the screen.
Can you send this video to the 2 McDonalds in Ephrata Pennsylvania on how to fill up a fry box. Both stores like to fill their fry boxes a quarter of the way.
Those fries on the apron of the fry station were driving me nuts. At least you finally cleaned up the left side. That’s probably why I couldn’t work fast food. I’d be wasting too much time on low-priority stuff.
How do you manage your employees Stephen? Do you let them do the job they like most or do they switch? I am asking because we see you mainly assembling the burgers which seems to be your favorite job.
around 6:00 or so shouldnt those deep friers be washed if those french fry bits are just going to be floating around in that? i know im probably misunderstanding/ignorant about that but it doesnt look hygienic to me is all
At least you do your fries. My local location sucks and paying $5 for a large fry and it NEVER being full p*sses me off. And I can't even contact corporate because I can't find a dang number. I wanna be were you are. 😢
I have a few questions about McD hiring and working practices: Anyone who never worked, would anyone working there required a food license? Does it cost the employee to get the license to work at any fast food? Are the employees 'assigned' to one specific work duty like the fry guy, strictly ONLY fries, or do they get rotated to different duties once a week, once a month? Are they required to purchase their own uniforms? How does the employers work with autistic or handicapped employees, in hiring and working with them? (Are they good with them, patient with them more than a "normal" person would be? or stick them with low totem pole jobs for however long they work there, never to be working as a line or fry guy or cashier?
We fill our fries full here

That’s so true my McDonalds I go to buy food from well they always seem angry and miserable and the way they work is chaotic
Not many McDonald's i would work at. But I certainly wouldn't mind working at one of Stephen's McDonald's.
Almost every one I worked at were absolutely toxic and stressful and it was definitely modeled after the behavior of all the managers and owners.
There’s a lot of POV food channels on TH-cam now, but I always find myself coming back to Stephen
Man Stephen, you sure do fill those up “FULL”, wish my McDonald’s did that.
Agreed!
Facts
my McDonald's likes to squeeze the box when willing so you don't get the listed serving size. Stephan Take over the one in Newark on 21st st LOL
He does it for the camera.. don't be fooled

The best part i see is the pride you take in doing things to the best of your ability. thats a rare thing, be proud of it
I agree; my neighboorhood McDonalds could learn a thing or two from these guys!
Makes me hungry every time I watch, Stephen your the man....ty for the videos....Happy New Year to all the staff they work hard
**you’re
I love how someone requested this content in the last videos comments and here it is. Truly a man of the people ❤
I still have PTSD from that damn cow bell going off every five seconds

I wouldn't mind seeing another video of some drive thru work again as you did in a past video
Oh, I can just taste those fries now! Even though I had some just yesterday along with my normal McNnuggets and Hi-C orange lava burst.
This channel always make me want a cheeseburger and a large coke without fail. Thanks for sharing Stephen.
Thanks!

I should show this video to the people working at my local McDonald’s. They sure do love giving me medium portions when i order a large fry.

I love your videos keep up the good work you make me happy when I see new videos 😊😊
Glad to see the fry station hasn’t changed much in 35 years. Keep up the good work!
wdym you don't see that automatic dispenser! And the bad ass salt dispenser
@@DietBajaBlastyou must have worked the fry station too back in the day to know those are the two noticeable differences!

Filling the fries like you do ensures customer satisfaction...invaluable!
The POV of the fries videos are the best ever it makes me so hungry
You make it look so easy. No way the place near me even tries. 😂
LOl fry guy is what we call our fry hopper machine. my brain said wait a machine cant call off
I love watching these videos.
I love your work ❤
Great Videos !! Drive thrus incoming ?
fries is definitely my favorite spot to be at and I definitely love making sure they're loaded
A master at his craft 🔥
those fries are stuffed like a thanksgiving turkey. yesssir
What about breakfast burritos (for content)?? They are awesome...wish they were bigger and came with more sauce. Another great video!
I love McDonald's Fry's. I wish we had a McDonald's in my town.
All I could keep thinking to myself is throw out those fries please on that shelf between the fryer and the fry bins 😅
You the fries king
Stephen Patula. Spatula. I see what you did there. Very smart. Chairs from Earth 🎉🎉🎉
I went out and bought that salt shaker after watching your video that is the most amazing salt shaker ever it was 60 no regrets
Great to see videos again !
great video thank you and Merry Christmas
He’s back yayyy

Is he just making random size fries, or is there a screen telling him what sizes are needed based off orders?
There's screens with orders or the staff tells you.
I am looking at a screen. Sometimes you can keep a couple of each size up. But it’s mostly by order

**could
I’d do the same 😂
@@HaleStorm1998proud of you buddy
@@NockyBooberNot 'roud of 'ou, ruddy? Disappointed. 😂 😊
Quality of staff matters waayyy more than number of staff 👌
I wish that our McDs had fries that were completely cooked, and fresh as this one.
I wish mcdonalds had a volunteer program. I just want to go in and make burgers sometimes. Ive had the training on this channel 😂
Those fries on the apron of the fry station were driving me nuts. At least you finally cleaned up the left side. That’s probably why I couldn’t work fast food. I’d be wasting too much time on low-priority stuff.
Plot twist the fry guy feels fine
For the fry hopper my work has 2 of the droppers why does yours only have one?
Y'all have a dedicated 'fry guy'?
We are constantly understaffed, so whoever is at the front makes fries
My curiosity is do Stephens stores msrk a no salt basket with the size fry container they need like we do?
If you couldnt see the golden arches, you could still tell this isn't a Burger King because of the salt

How do you know when the oil on the deep fryer is too dark and needs to be replaced? Does it start to smoke by itself?
Can we see the grill station?!?!
I got yelled at at McDonald's down the street from my house because I asked for no salt on my frys
my mcdonalds was using a scale for fries yesterday lol
Dang man I guess it really is just my McDonald’s that doesn’t know how to fill fries. I wish you were in my town brother.
I can smell McDonald's fries just watching this.
I'm tired just watching this... High energy job...
great work
I see your fry guy also forgot to change the oil
Do you guys normally skip the filter cycles, or does it only happen during a rush?
Actually I know it been a while but the grill would be kind of neat on a lunch rush or like the eggs on a breakfast time.
I wish Stephen was my fries filler when I go to McDonald's
Could we also get some of POVs of the cashier and the one's giving out the orders too if that is possible sir?

Stephen, have you ever caught anybody eating a few fries from that station?
Do more service videos please, my first shifts are service and I need some guidance
Here in Europe never got that level of fries 🍟…😮 I wish I can get this
Why don't the workers at my McD's hustle like this?
POV: Be careful with Salt!!!!! Just 1g for 500g Fries! So if i ordered extra Salt and pay for it the Fries never see it 👍🏽
I never get hot fries or quarter pounder at my local McDonald's.
