This could legitimately be a good training video for McDonalds to use for their employees. No weird acting, no goofy music or lame voiceovers, just 16 minutes of work getting done.
God bless every one of our food service workers. You guys do work that our society NEEDS and, despite the contrary, it IS hard work and we’d crumble without you. Thank so much for all you do!
I'm an aircraft mechanic and while I'm sure people find my job fascinating I find your job fascinating. It's incredible to see the level of efficiency such an operation as McDonald's has been streamlined down to. Everything has a purpose from the tools, to the order of operation's, to the clear skill you have. While I never really looked down upon others in jobs like this I never really got a behind the scene's look like this as I never worked a fast food job so I never had a sense of understanding. Watching this I want to thank you personally and anyone else who is reading this no matter what you do because here's the fact - it doesn't matter if you flip burger's, turn a wrench, broker multi-million dollar deal's, or just answer a telephone. Your job is important - all our jobs are important because it's what makes the world go round. by naif
I honestly don’t think I could do this for 8 hours. Hell, even 4. Thank you for sharing, I hope whoever this video reaches instills in them a new found respect for our fast food workers.
A Health Inspector could walk in at any time and see you have all your toppings dated and labeled. Glove changes, nice. Been in serv-safe 25 yrs. Very impressed. You Rock!
@@blakestaredwards how is he preventing enjoyment lol? I also think the original comment is fukn looney, anyone want to see me in the zone cranking out emails ? Ridiculous
People want to pretend this is unskilled labor but to be able to do this quickly and efficiently is absolutely a skill that takes time and effort to develop. It's no different from working in a factory.
Work in general is hard no matter what it is, especially with the crazy demand for McDonald's. It's nonstop from the minute you walk in to the minute you leave.@@jimmyjohn6479
it is low skill labor. doesn't meamt it's easy since you still have to do it for 8 hours but it definitely isn't complicated, even people with downs syndrome can do it
I never knew a McDonald’s was this streamlined. It’s like an assembly line at an automobile factory. One person gets the buns and puts the katchup, lettuce and cheese on it, the next person puts the meat on it and wraps it up in the paper, they send it down to another person that then puts it on a tray or in a bag and gives it to the customer. Truly fascinating.
whenever i worked there for a year they had shitty management so we had one person in the kitchen working everything even during rushes, and two ppl doing registers and three new guys not doing anything always swapping for new ppl each month or so
I worked out McDonald’s for 2 years and was in the kitchen the whole time. This brings back a lot of memories. Craziest part was when we had a bus of kids come and had to make 69 McChickens and 96 cheeseburgers at once
loved working here when i was younger. would love to see a POV during a really busy lunch rush, showing people the chaos and stress these workers go though during peak hours. It seriously isn't as easy as you think. The slightest mistakes can lead to massive wait times and setbacks when waiting for your order. and its the people that order "no salt" on fries or custom burger orders that throws the wrench into the hole system.
@@Zelldogg Once again, if you want fresh fries maybe don't eat fast food. They're holding everyone else up because they care about whether the fries were cooked 30 minutes ago or just now. Personally I actually prefer them being kept warm instead of being fresh out of the frier, when they're fresh you have to wait a few minutes to eat while they cool off.
@@KarpetBurn im not saying its ok to do that. Its actually annoying af. I used to work at McDonald's back in high school and people would do this and then ask to salt packets 🤦 lol
@@Zelldogg Oh okay lol, yeah I'm with you. It's baffling that people would actually do that just for fresh fries, the fries are gonna be delicious anyways, why bother going through the extra effort.
Yes there is. After working there all through high school, I had zero skills. Except mcskills which are worth zero. Glad I borrowed money and went to college.
@@BB-ed4om You get people skills, money handling skills, you learn how to be on time, and you learn how to interact with co-workers. It's not the best job in the world but you do learn things from it. You did, you just didn't realize it because you had a bitter experience. I get that, I didn't like my fast food gig either.
It's amazing to have someone sharing their experience and perspective at their job. Around this week, I might start working at McDonald's. And although Im only 16 and unable to start working by making the food, I like seeing the dedication from other employees. Also, this is just a clean, straightforward video of getting work done, which looks repetitive, but happens to be fun to serve a community.
@@firestarter1888Not really. Having one unhealthy meal in your life or more is not a horrible thing. Having a long or tough day at work and grabbing a warm meal for yourself on the way home can really be rewarding. Some people take it to far of course but in all honestly, it’s cheap food that can have Healthy value depending on the items.
@@firestarter1888 sometimes I love to imagine internet comments playing out irl, and this one was up there with the best. Such an earnest, naive comment from the child, and you just calling it all poison. That's great.
The McDonald's Gods have blessed all fans of Stephen's channel with a 16 min video. It does not disappoint. I have no idea why I love these videos so much but I do. You're so smooth and fast and precise with everything. And every time I watch your videos I get a huge craving for McDonald's lol. Keep up the amazing videos. 👊😎
My boss asked our team today what is the oddest thing you watch on TH-cam that people would not think you would actually watch. I told the team about this video and my boss replied, “not surprised at all. You are so process driven, you probably just love seeing how things get from a-z and start thinking how you can put that in your day to day work.”
@@MarcusM10 That's an awesome response from your boss. The process seems simple but I'm sure it can be complex depending on the orders and whatever the customer wants or doesnt want in their burger along with everyone else's order. But I love these videos and im more of a Burger King kind of guy but I def enjoy McDonald's. Not all the time because its very unhealthy but in moderation its fine. But I like your boss. Understanding and he gets you and thats great.
@@PRExJay LOL sorry that made me laugh a bit. But in all seriousness McDonald's food isnt for everyone. My stomach can easily handle it without issues and Im 37. But im sure over time, like you, ill develop issues with my stomach eating fast food. But either way that sucks for you.
man those beeps never fail to make me nostalgic, not that my time at mcDs was great, but ive meet alot of good people and learned to respect every job there is from that point on in my life. Those 9 hour nightshifts were gruesome.
You made the non-patty parts of 47 burgers and a chicken sandwich in this 16 minute and 12 second video. There are a few cuts in the footage, but your approximate Burgers Per Minute score (BPM) is 2.94, and I find that pretty impressive.
@@jacksonh2312 Depends on the time of day. During the lunch rush you're doing more but this appears to be a less busy time of the day so you can pace yourself better. He's doing a great job of getting his work done and keeping his station cleaned and stocked, so he's making it look easier than it actually is.
I worked at McDonald's for 2 months when I was 16, they never let me make any of the food. Was always stuck on fries or front cash. Honestly I probably would lasted longer if I could have just made food like this. Right now I work in a coffee shop and I 100% love making drinks/sandwiches far more than dealing with customers. This was a weird video, but I couldn't stop watching it.
7 months, worked in kitchen. The guy in the video is lucky to be on table (assembling the food). This is the best place to be because otherwise you're breaking your back over the tiny grills they have or on chicken (like fries but 5x the amount of things to cook). I'd worked at McDonald's for 7 months and have had an accumulative 2 hours and 30 minutes on table across all the shifts I've worked. McDonald's is only a fun place to work if the creepy old men managing you have taken a liking to you.
It always amazes me how McDonald’s manage to unify the look of the store and product making process for restaurants all around the world, I work at McDonald’s in Taiwan and if it’s not because of the language on machines and packaging I would think this is one of my coworker’s recording
industrial scale food production is a marvel, I don’t care where anyone is from or what their politics are, it’s crazy humans have created these kinds of systems at scale
When I was in my late teens/early 20s, I vowed never to work in fast food. After having seen the first person pov, I think I made the right call. I cannot imagine a more soul crushing experience to make the same burger, hour after hour, day after day, every single day.
@@Paul-vf4wv It’s not just ‘not fun’. Your mind isn’t doing anything, you’re not occupied at any time you’re just going through the motions. Nothing worse than feeling like a robot could do your job just as well.
Honestly cool to watch. I used to work on grill, fries, CFN and finisher. The calls from your team definately show that they know what they are doing and I can see it runs very smoothly. Besides the PTSD from the beeping it is cool to see these videos.
This kind of job takes more than you'd think. I have been working there for almost 2 years now and the amount of patience and willpower it takes to do a job like this (especially night shift) is astonishingly unbelievable, most can't take it and I'm not calling them out it's understandable.
I worked at a McDonald’s for eleven years. You’re right it takes an incredible amount of patience and will power doing that for 40 to 50 hour work weeks. I ended up hating it so much before I left 😂
I worked in bars for ten years in the UK and it was horrendous. The only way I survived was moving every year or two and taking advantage of/mercilessly exploiting the novelty of a new pub. The people who could stick it year after year after year I was and still am in awe of.
You do have to keep in mind that 85 percent of the population has the cognitive capacity to perform this job. So I'm not sure that "most can't take it" is white accurate
The fact that he’s management and helps around in the workplace shows that he can be responsible not just for the success of the workplace but for the success of working with a dedicated crew working in a kitchen where fries can get over cooked, customers arguing with complaints and shuffling between areas with room of about a meter wide. Flawless work!
If I had not watched this video I'd have no idea what it takes to do your job. After 1 minute of watching I was hooked and I appreciate your effort you put forth. You're going to go places with that work ethic.
Brings back memories! I worked at McDonald's for a year or so. This was in a lineup of many years of various food service jobs and others people deem "Unskilled." I currently have a career that many would consider "Real." I would still prefer to do what I currently do over doing this again, even at the same rate I'm currently making now. These are real jobs that need to be treated with proper respect and compensation.
This is me everyday in the kitchen. I'm a stay at home homeschooling mother and cook 3 hot, from scratch meals every day for my family. We ALL eat different things (different food tastes, aversions etc) so I'm cooking 3 different things at each 3 separate meal times. I've mastered the art of time/task management in cooking and have managed to reduce "dead time" down to negligible amounts. I don't let dirty dishes to pile up in the sink, to be washed later. What I do is I boil water in the kettle, fill the sink with that plus the same amount of cold water and add dish detergent. I fill up the sink with fresh hot/cold water mix 3x a day. As I cook, I wash up so that at the end of a meal all that's left to wash are the plates, cutlery and cups. I immediately put away washed dishes after washing these last items. I use a timer at all times when cooking in order to get consistency in the quality of the meals I cook. I also keep a running shopping list and will immediately write down the name of a food item as it runs out so that it doesn't slip my mind later when i sit down to write up my weekly shopping list. I only shop once a week with a list i 100% stick to. There is no impulse buying in my life. I have also set up my kitchen to be as efficient an environment as possible. I also only have minimal tools so i dont need much storage space. No one taught me these techniques. I am self-taught. Before I became a mother I was a bookkeeper, so organisation and time/task management were already natural to me when I made the switch to staying home full-time. These skills of mine are versatile and easily transferable into any type of job. I could easily work in a MacDonald's kitchen and feel right at home.
I work at mcdonalds and I'm surpised I never heard a "reg out" or "I need reg dropped" so your grill person must be on top of it. Anyways I think its cool to see the slight difference in technology like the bun toaster at mine we put the buns in on the side and then they come out the other end and I think yours is much more efficient because sometimes with ours the buns will get stuck and they wont even end up going through the toaster. Anyways, your fluidity when it comes to dropping buns and grabbing the right wrapping papers and stickering them was really effortless and I want to have that kind of grace.
@@aceman0000099 i think thats just his normal speed ,having worked similar jobs you dont get to 'slow down' and once you are seen working at that speed that is now your expected speed...
Working at Mcdonalds is often looked down upon. No one can look down on the amazing job this man is doing! From years in the restaurant industry, i know you're killing it! Perfect form, overly polite, not to comfortable but also a little awkward, this man is going places. Might even where a clown costume one day. Naw im playing good job. Get's me going for mcdelivery.
@@ShadowYetSleepy it’s classism, too many future employers past fast food believe fast food job = uncouth or dirty, that’s why in some places we get ignored if it’s on our resumes that we’ve worked there for a long time, and people genuinely have no clue how much effort and energy we use up working in fast food. Half the customers who treat us like shit would quit on their first day even.
Im proud to say I worked at a mcdonalds in ohio and 1 in florida. So much free food. Met so many great people. So many blunt smoking circle by the dumpsters. I treasure my time working at the McDonald's!!♥️😋
It's cool that TH-cam videos like this are coming out that give celebrity status to everyday-people like this gentlemen. Same with the Subway videos. They are just doing simple, honest work, and people want to see it! We need more of it.
I worked at McDonalds for 14 years. I like to watch these videos because this is where my heart and soul belongs, the sounds of the kitchen brings me peace. Thank you for your amazing video. Although I had to quit due to my smack addiction or more so was fired because I was caught smoking a stem in the janitors closet I still have much respect for McDonalds
i love these videos so much, my brain just shuts off watching you work and it's a godsend when your brain gets too loud :) the repetitiveness of the task is just so enjoyable for me, thank you for this one!!
Definitely what we've been asking for. I'm on the same level as to why I'm so enamored by watching these, but it's a guilty pleasure. I'm definitely a fan. Wish the McDonald's in my area was as good as yours.
I'm amazed at the efficiency in which food production is undertaken while still doing everything correctly. The key to that is what goes on behind the scenes from ingredient ordering, correct storage, preparing for each service (to me this is a big part of this managers McDonald's success) and then out to customers. It's a lot of logistics and even orders that some ingredients are not wanted eg sauce never seems to be a problem for this team.
As someone who never worked in the fast food industry, I find your videos fascinating! I work as a Foreman for a fire sprinkler company and work with meeting deadlines so I know all about being efficient for your work, but you sir are amazing! It's mesmerizing watching you work and it's given me an even greater appreciation for people who work in the service industry. Keep up the great work!👍👍
Mad respect. I loathed working at McDonalds, but there was so many drugs being passed around and I never got properly trained. It was so stressful when all your coworkers were nodding off and then i'm the one getting yelled at for going too slow.
@@TrickyGxD never worked fast food, but I worked at a local drive in, and I've never heard the beeping, what does it come from? Like the burger machine, the bun toaster, etc? Cause that would drive me and my adhd crazy working there all day XD
@@nerdstop5025 Everything that cooks something beeps, and has a different beep to differentiate them. The oven used for cookies beeps, the fryers beep, the grills beep, the heating cabinets where the cooked food is kept beeps, the milkshake machine beeps when its low on shake mix, the timer for the sanitized towel bucket beeps lol Bloody everything. You get used to it after a while and it all starts to make sense. Granted, its been almost 20 years since I worked at McDonalds so some things changed, but not the beeps lol The beeps are forever.
Yasss, please make your POV work videos LONGER! It's really relaxing and satisfying to watch! It's better than ASMR vids! You're a master and very fluent yet very polite with your employees! I love this! ♡
Haven't worked at a mcdonalds in like 10 years and it really hasn't changed that much. Except some of the equipment is newer than what I was using. Definitely brings back some memories. I must say I'm surprised by the lack of people yelling at each other, must have just been the location I worked at. Great video btw.
Man, you gotta give props to fastfood workers, I cant imagine doing this for 8 hours every day. Its impressive how quick you are and how smooth the operation seems to flow. I imagine this can get pretty hectic,you make it look ez. I`m curious tho, do you eat this food ever?
@@jarnicules you do realise we’re on our feet all day, running about serving people, getting stock, lifting heavy shit and being screamed at by asshole customers like you right? Everyone deserves liveable wage and a maccies wage is minimal at best.
Quality control is everything, that Filet-O-Fish deserved a correct half of cheese 🧀, not a ripped up one. You thought about it and did the right thing and tossed the reject in the trash.
I work at Deltaco and i like the way the store is set up. I understand every fast food place is different. But honestly how you guys have your burger station set up is good. I wish we had ours like that.
I worked at McDonalds for 10 freakin years man. I still have dreams that I am late for my shift but I just can’t manage to make it to work until I am literally hours past my clock in time. Another thing I frequently think about is whenever people say they’re “busy” at their job I always think about what “busy” really is and think about my time at McDonalds lol that job taught me a lot for sure.
Your vids convinced me to try McDonald’s again after at least 7 years on my lunch today. Got a qtr pounder, and spicy nuggets. Got reminded why I don’t eat McDonald’s. But I do enjoy these vids!
Keep these longer videos going! It's great to sit here and eat a meal (I ate some homemade Bass Grouper rice paper rolls while watching this!) while watching food get made, it's great.
I’ve never worked at McDonalds but at Jersey Mike’s. Your efficiency is mesmerizing and relaxing to watch. Also fascinating! Those 16 minutes went by fast! I assume your shift did as well! It’s really cool to see some behind the scenes, I’ve always been curious!
Stephen, what are the functions of the red, white, blue, and gray buttons? Also, how do the labels and buttons operate on the protein warmers, as well as the fryers and grills? Just curious to see more of the non-food side of MCD's.
Former assistant manager here, red button either enables or disables the orders on the side of the table. Grey button is for serving orders off from the side White will enable an option for one side to only take drive thru orders and one takes front counter. The buttons are quality timers, it counts down to let you know how much longer you have until food is bad. It dings when it goes off, ohhhh the trauma from that sound.
While I'm sure everyone is talking about how hard it is to do this, how satisfying this video is, how streamlined this is, or how he kicked the bun. I will bring to light the more fun parts that I watched: -The genius idea of the giant vacuum under the table where they can get rid of the trash. As a fast food worker, I would kiss whoever makes that! -The worker in the background singing Hot Potato! -How he says light tartar sauce! -Generally just how fun it must be to use those sauce tools! -The struggle of replacing that goddamn receipt paper!! -And lastly, and personally my favorite bit.., How he noticeably goes into turbo mode when a bunch of orders appears. It's like the worker's version of nitro and tells me that you were in the zone. Loved the video!!
I work as a Fraud Investigator and am all too familiar with being under pressure in the workplace. You do this so effortlessly and calmly, it’s pretty fascinating to watch
If a McD is open 24 hours, when and how do you clean, sanitize and remove all the bits of toppings? Also fryer maintenance would be interesting. Great videos, thank you!
usually when it starts to get slow, they'll start wiping down and sweeping and stuff but there's also specific times during the day when certain tasks will get done, so they don't go too long without cleaning up
At the McDonald's I work we are always sweeping and roughly every 2 hours we try to mop the kitchen. And around 2 in the morning we temporarily close so they can clean the fryers and the grills are cleaned and pulled out so the grease behind the grills can be cleaned and that roughly takes about an hour and then we reopen and begin the change over for breakfast.
I'm impressed with the quality of work in such a short amount of time here. Thank you for what you do, because it's not an easy job (especially considering the mediocre pay and huge expectations). 10/10 Good video. P.S. I find it very entertaining that a guy named S. Patula works at a McDonald's.
I can honestly say that when I worked the very short amount of time at MacDonalds it NEVER ran as smoothly as your store does! You've all got everything worked out so it's almost perfect! Damn I wish I would've worked at your store, I would've learnt so much. Great video, thanks for uploading 🙂
It’s interesting to see that the McDonald brothers original ketchup and mustard dispenser design is still in use. 40 years ago when I worked for McDonalds, they were still made of stainless steel like the originals. We didn’t have those cool bun warmers. Do they still have those goofy training that I had to watch 40 years ago? Thanks for posting this, it’s very interesting. They have a ton more of the menu and they serve breakfast now which McDonalds didn’t do long ago.
Barely a minute in and I already have so much more respect for the work being done at McDonalds. Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for anyone doing any kind of work, especially those doing work that most would consider demeaning, gross, or impossibly hard. But just watching two minutes of this video and there is already so much knowledge and experience on display that proves that any schmuck couldn't just walk in and do this without a lot of training and memorization. Like anything, repetition and time lead to expertise and efficiency, but still. In just a short time I now understand and appreciate why my orders are almost always wrong at any fast food establishment. There are are so many menu items, wrappers, labels, toppings, devices, doodads and thingamajigs that until you've been around at least a few weeks you will likely mess up a lot of orders. With the undoubtedly high turnover it makes sense why consistent accuracy is a struggle. Mad respect to you, S. Patula, and all work in your industry. Thank you for your dedication to your craft. If you were in Japan you'd probably be making a killing running your own yatai.
I respect your work ethic. I personally haven’t gone back to a McDonald’s in years after an employee gave me a burger that had clearly been biten into. But still, good to know there’s good employees working at McDonald’s
So satisfying to watch how others work. It’s a work of art how our minds act differently and take in things differently. Majority of this video I kept saying “I may have done it differently” but guess what? I don’t work there so I don’t have a say in how you do your job! Well done! Love this
i respect y’all so much. it really is FAST food, that’s why i never complain when the sauce is lopsided or i only get 1 pickle. if i was in the mood to control ingredients, i’d go to subway
I don't know why I find this so interesting but I keep coming back for more! Interesting to see what happens behind the scenes! Keep up the good work 🙂
I'm developing a love/hate relationship with these videos, I put one of your video's on and I'm blown away by the respect you show your fellow employee's and the food you prepare, and the effort and professionalism you put into your job. After a while it makes me want to order a Maccies for myself, but you don't work at my local branch and the people there apparently hate food and I'm always disappointed.
Stephen: The difference in the efficiency of McDonald's today and when I worked there in High School, is night and day. I remember dragging huge burlap bags of potatoes up from the basement, washing them, peeling them, cutting them, blanching them, filling fry baskets and hanging them on the fry rack, all before we opened at 10:00 am. I remember working the grill, in the days when the Big Mac and the Filet o Fish where the "big deal" sandwiches. In 1967, when I started and I was a "Window man," 2 burgers, a fry and a medium drink was $.87! My younger brother James, actually went to "Hamburger University in either 1968 or 1969." He worked at McDonald's for @ six years, before moving on. He later said he wished he had stayed. I turned 72 a few months ago, and I love watching your videos. I will be retiring next year, from my third career...but I started at McDonald's. Good Luck on becoming the owner in the near future.
This is why I roll my eyes so much when people say “Lots of work makes the time go by fast” because literally 16 minutes takes forever to go by because you’re doing so much repetitive cumbersome work.
Yes I swept the bun up after I kicked it under the table lol
Lol
Kickin'buns for real

May I ask what the buttons next to the crispy chicken wrappers are for?

This could legitimately be a good training video for McDonalds to use for their employees. No weird acting, no goofy music or lame voiceovers, just 16 minutes of work getting done.
not even any dad jokes?

whenever i worked there for a year they had shitty management so we had one person in the kitchen working everything even during rushes, and two ppl doing registers and three new guys not doing anything always swapping for new ppl each month or so
@@duhboy9782 I had the same experience
This* McDonald's is that streamlined. There's about 14k locations in the US alone
Yup,they’re just pumping out orders left and right with gmo ingredients that are made just as fast as the orders are put out,but in masses👀🤮
That's literally the business model for McDonalds and what made them famous.
I worked out McDonald’s for 2 years and was in the kitchen the whole time. This brings back a lot of memories. Craziest part was when we had a bus of kids come and had to make 69 McChickens and 96 cheeseburgers at once
Same shit happens at movie theater. When you see that yellow school bus park right outside its this special kind of dread
Smh omg depending on the day that would be hell or it made it go by really fast
who?
any idea where i can find mc donalds cheese? i mean you know what brand it is?
@@Philostipher HAHA that's why I never once opened
loved working here when i was younger. would love to see a POV during a really busy lunch rush, showing people the chaos and stress these workers go though during peak hours. It seriously isn't as easy as you think. The slightest mistakes can lead to massive wait times and setbacks when waiting for your order. and its the people that order "no salt" on fries or custom burger orders that throws the wrench into the hole system.
The people who order no salt on fries are seriously weird. Surely it's not a health thing because... You're eating at McDonald's...
@@KarpetBurn they do it because they have to make a fresh batch of fries. They want fresh fries.
@@Zelldogg Once again, if you want fresh fries maybe don't eat fast food. They're holding everyone else up because they care about whether the fries were cooked 30 minutes ago or just now. Personally I actually prefer them being kept warm instead of being fresh out of the frier, when they're fresh you have to wait a few minutes to eat while they cool off.
@@KarpetBurn im not saying its ok to do that. Its actually annoying af. I used to work at McDonald's back in high school and people would do this and then ask to salt packets 🤦 lol
@@Zelldogg Oh okay lol, yeah I'm with you. It's baffling that people would actually do that just for fresh fries, the fries are gonna be delicious anyways, why bother going through the extra effort.
No such thing as unskilled labor. Thanks for keeping us fed dude!
Yes there is. After working there all through high school, I had zero skills. Except mcskills which are worth zero. Glad I borrowed money and went to college.
@@BB-ed4om Honestly college is overrated.
@@libertyordeath1776. it’s not
yes there is you can learn most of this in a week coding will take you several years.
@@BB-ed4om You get people skills, money handling skills, you learn how to be on time, and you learn how to interact with co-workers. It's not the best job in the world but you do learn things from it. You did, you just didn't realize it because you had a bitter experience. I get that, I didn't like my fast food gig either.
It's amazing to have someone sharing their experience and perspective at their job. Around this week, I might start working at McDonald's. And although Im only 16 and unable to start working by making the food, I like seeing the dedication from other employees. Also, this is just a clean, straightforward video of getting work done, which looks repetitive, but happens to be fun to serve a community.
Your not swrving them you are poisoning them
@@firestarter1888Not really. Having one unhealthy meal in your life or more is not a horrible thing. Having a long or tough day at work and grabbing a warm meal for yourself on the way home can really be rewarding. Some people take it to far of course but in all honestly, it’s cheap food that can have Healthy value depending on the items.
@@firestarter1888 sometimes I love to imagine internet comments playing out irl, and this one was up there with the best. Such an earnest, naive comment from the child, and you just calling it all poison. That's great.
Work anywhere else but fast food. It's not fun, it's not glamorous. You will not have a good time. Citation: years of fast food experience
fast food is possibly one of the easiest if not the easiest job out there definitely recommend
The fact you take so much pride in your job truly is the most satisfying part of this video.
The McDonald's Gods have blessed all fans of Stephen's channel with a 16 min video. It does not disappoint. I have no idea why I love these videos so much but I do. You're so smooth and fast and precise with everything. And every time I watch your videos I get a huge craving for McDonald's lol. Keep up the amazing videos. 👊😎
My boss asked our team today what is the oddest thing you watch on TH-cam that people would not think you would actually watch. I told the team about this video and my boss replied, “not surprised at all. You are so process driven, you probably just love seeing how things get from a-z and start thinking how you can put that in your day to day work.”
@@MarcusM10 That's an awesome response from your boss. The process seems simple but I'm sure it can be complex depending on the orders and whatever the customer wants or doesnt want in their burger along with everyone else's order. But I love these videos and im more of a Burger King kind of guy but I def enjoy McDonald's. Not all the time because its very unhealthy but in moderation its fine. But I like your boss. Understanding and he gets you and thats great.
I don’t crave McD’s anymore,every time I eat it my stomach explodes like Hiroshima
@@PRExJay LOL sorry that made me laugh a bit. But in all seriousness McDonald's food isnt for everyone. My stomach can easily handle it without issues and Im 37. But im sure over time, like you, ill develop issues with my stomach eating fast food. But either way that sucks for you.
Ronald McDonald is proud of this guy
man those beeps never fail to make me nostalgic, not that my time at mcDs was great, but ive meet alot of good people and learned to respect every job there is from that point on in my life. Those 9 hour nightshifts were gruesome.
You made the non-patty parts of 47 burgers and a chicken sandwich in this 16 minute and 12 second video. There are a few cuts in the footage, but your approximate Burgers Per Minute score (BPM) is 2.94, and I find that pretty impressive.
real macdonalds workers know this is nothing
@@jacksonh2312 Depends on the time of day. During the lunch rush you're doing more but this appears to be a less busy time of the day so you can pace yourself better. He's doing a great job of getting his work done and keeping his station cleaned and stocked, so he's making it look easier than it actually is.
@@LinkRocks ima crew trainer and i can pump out over 100 burgers in 15 minutes trust me i've had people in front area count how much I make.
"BPM" is wild I'm cackling
@@jacksonh2312 spongebob levels of burger making
I worked at McDonald's for 2 months when I was 16, they never let me make any of the food. Was always stuck on fries or front cash. Honestly I probably would lasted longer if I could have just made food like this. Right now I work in a coffee shop and I 100% love making drinks/sandwiches far more than dealing with customers.
This was a weird video, but I couldn't stop watching it.
What an exciting life

this is definitely how i felt but i was 15 at the time. now i work at goodwill and make more than i did their. and i actually love my job now
@@ariestewart good lad
7 months, worked in kitchen. The guy in the video is lucky to be on table (assembling the food). This is the best place to be because otherwise you're breaking your back over the tiny grills they have or on chicken (like fries but 5x the amount of things to cook).
I'd worked at McDonald's for 7 months and have had an accumulative 2 hours and 30 minutes on table across all the shifts I've worked. McDonald's is only a fun place to work if the creepy old men managing you have taken a liking to you.
It always amazes me how McDonald’s manage to unify the look of the store and product making process for restaurants all around the world, I work at McDonald’s in Taiwan and if it’s not because of the language on machines and packaging I would think this is one of my coworker’s recording
industrial scale food production is a marvel, I don’t care where anyone is from or what their politics are, it’s crazy humans have created these kinds of systems at scale
Definitely like the longer video. They're all mind numbing to watch, but I seem to prefer breakfast time. Keep 'em coming!
There's more types of the same ingredient with breakfast. Eggs - round, scrambled, flat
yeah me too breakfast is cool
All the video are good
@@nicholasclark241 no one said they weren’t.

@@realdragon or just having a good work ethic does it too?
When I was in my late teens/early 20s, I vowed never to work in fast food.
After having seen the first person pov, I think I made the right call. I cannot imagine a more soul crushing experience to make the same burger, hour after hour, day after day, every single day.
I thought my job as a car wash attendant got repetitive. I could not do this 😭😭😭

@@Paul-vf4wv It’s not just ‘not fun’. Your mind isn’t doing anything, you’re not occupied at any time you’re just going through the motions. Nothing worse than feeling like a robot could do your job just as well.
Honestly cool to watch. I used to work on grill, fries, CFN and finisher. The calls from your team definately show that they know what they are doing and I can see it runs very smoothly. Besides the PTSD from the beeping it is cool to see these videos.
Human rights should ban that god forsaken beeping
This is so nostalgic.. working in the grill for my first job at McDonalds when I was 16.
Love the care you put into making the sandwiches.

This kind of job takes more than you'd think. I have been working there for almost 2 years now and the amount of patience and willpower it takes to do a job like this (especially night shift) is astonishingly unbelievable, most can't take it and I'm not calling them out it's understandable.
Yeah, it's not for everyone! I couldn't handle it. I'd break haha
I worked at a McDonald’s for eleven years. You’re right it takes an incredible amount of patience and will power doing that for 40 to 50 hour work weeks. I ended up hating it so much before I left 😂
I worked in bars for ten years in the UK and it was horrendous. The only way I survived was moving every year or two and taking advantage of/mercilessly exploiting the novelty of a new pub. The people who could stick it year after year after year I was and still am in awe of.
You do have to keep in mind that 85 percent of the population has the cognitive capacity to perform this job. So I'm not sure that "most can't take it" is white accurate
bro works at mcdonald’s and he over here talking as if he was a military veteran 😭
The fact that he’s management and helps around in the workplace shows that he can be responsible not just for the success of the workplace but for the success of working with a dedicated crew working in a kitchen where fries can get over cooked, customers arguing with complaints and shuffling between areas with room of about a meter wide. Flawless work!
If I had not watched this video I'd have no idea what it takes to do your job. After 1 minute of watching I was hooked and I appreciate your effort you put forth. You're going to go places with that work ethic.
My fiance is starting to question our planned wedding because she keeps walking in on me watching these videos.
Wow that was funny I’m crying rn 💀
My husband questions our marriage because he keeps seeing me watching these videos. 🤣
Don't worry. Treat it like the porn you got caught watching and share it with her... she'll come around.
Mine is too she walks in on me and my mistress in bed
Is it mutually planned? Or is she about to start her first job.
Brings back memories! I worked at McDonald's for a year or so. This was in a lineup of many years of various food service jobs and others people deem "Unskilled." I currently have a career that many would consider "Real." I would still prefer to do what I currently do over doing this again, even at the same rate I'm currently making now. These are real jobs that need to be treated with proper respect and compensation.
I deeply respect anyone doing this job 8 hours a day. I couldn't do it. I would go nuts after a day or so.
@@thesniper5966 it's not easy lol also for some, mentally it can take a toll
i got restless after watching this vid for 3 minutes -.-
This is me everyday in the kitchen. I'm a stay at home homeschooling mother and cook 3 hot, from scratch meals every day for my family. We ALL eat different things (different food tastes, aversions etc) so I'm cooking 3 different things at each 3 separate meal times. I've mastered the art of time/task management in cooking and have managed to reduce "dead time" down to negligible amounts. I don't let dirty dishes to pile up in the sink, to be washed later. What I do is I boil water in the kettle, fill the sink with that plus the same amount of cold water and add dish detergent. I fill up the sink with fresh hot/cold water mix 3x a day. As I cook, I wash up so that at the end of a meal all that's left to wash are the plates, cutlery and cups. I immediately put away washed dishes after washing these last items. I use a timer at all times when cooking in order to get consistency in the quality of the meals I cook. I also keep a running shopping list and will immediately write down the name of a food item as it runs out so that it doesn't slip my mind later when i sit down to write up my weekly shopping list. I only shop once a week with a list i 100% stick to. There is no impulse buying in my life. I have also set up my kitchen to be as efficient an environment as possible. I also only have minimal tools so i dont need much storage space. No one taught me these techniques. I am self-taught. Before I became a mother I was a bookkeeper, so organisation and time/task management were already natural to me when I made the switch to staying home full-time. These skills of mine are versatile and easily transferable into any type of job. I could easily work in a MacDonald's kitchen and feel right at home.
Love how the burger boxes just magically teleport from the sky with the way they just come down in front of the camera lol

I work at mcdonalds and I'm surpised I never heard a "reg out" or "I need reg dropped" so your grill person must be on top of it. Anyways I think its cool to see the slight difference in technology like the bun toaster at mine we put the buns in on the side and then they come out the other end and I think yours is much more efficient because sometimes with ours the buns will get stuck and they wont even end up going through the toaster. Anyways, your fluidity when it comes to dropping buns and grabbing the right wrapping papers and stickering them was really effortless and I want to have that kind of grace.
Exactly
same i suck at grabbing wrappers 💀 i always get like 5 in one grab

Naw im playing good job. Get's me going for mcdelivery.
I honestly find it weird that it's looked down upon for I mostly hear from people that it will look great on your resume if McDonald's is included
@@ShadowYetSleepy it’s classism, too many future employers past fast food believe fast food job = uncouth or dirty, that’s why in some places we get ignored if it’s on our resumes that we’ve worked there for a long time, and people genuinely have no clue how much effort and energy we use up working in fast food. Half the customers who treat us like shit would quit on their first day even.
Im proud to say I worked at a mcdonalds in ohio and 1 in florida. So much free food. Met so many great people. So many blunt smoking circle by the dumpsters. I treasure my time working at the McDonald's!!♥️😋
It's cool that TH-cam videos like this are coming out that give celebrity status to everyday-people like this gentlemen. Same with the Subway videos. They are just doing simple, honest work, and people want to see it! We need more of it.
In 3 years I can work here and these videos taught me the ways and patience and respect, I don't want this series to end forever :3
I worked at McDonalds for 14 years. I like to watch these videos because this is where my heart and soul belongs, the sounds of the kitchen brings me peace. Thank you for your amazing video. Although I had to quit due to my smack addiction or more so was fired because I was caught smoking a stem in the janitors closet I still have much respect for McDonalds
i love these videos so much, my brain just shuts off watching you work and it's a godsend when your brain gets too loud :) the repetitiveness of the task is just so enjoyable for me, thank you for this one!!

I wish more people made pov videos. I'm obsessed with processes and efficiency. Love watching videos and finding ways to make things better
I'm amazed at the efficiency in which food production is undertaken while still doing everything correctly. The key to that is what goes on behind the scenes from ingredient ordering, correct storage, preparing for each service (to me this is a big part of this managers McDonald's success) and then out to customers. It's a lot of logistics and even orders that some ingredients are not wanted eg sauce never seems to be a problem for this team.
As someone who never worked in the fast food industry, I find your videos fascinating! I work as a Foreman for a fire sprinkler company and work with meeting deadlines so I know all about being efficient for your work, but you sir are amazing! It's mesmerizing watching you work and it's given me an even greater appreciation for people who work in the service industry. Keep up the great work!👍👍

Mad respect. I loathed working at McDonalds, but there was so many drugs being passed around and I never got properly trained. It was so stressful when all your coworkers were nodding off and then i'm the one getting yelled at for going too slow.

Haven't worked at a mcdonalds in like 10 years and it really hasn't changed that much. Except some of the equipment is newer than what I was using. Definitely brings back some memories. I must say I'm surprised by the lack of people yelling at each other, must have just been the location I worked at. Great video btw.
Man, you gotta give props to fastfood workers, I cant imagine doing this for 8 hours every day. Its impressive how quick you are and how smooth the operation seems to flow. I imagine this can get pretty hectic,you make it look ez. I`m curious tho, do you eat this food ever?

I worked at McDonalds for 10 freakin years man. I still have dreams that I am late for my shift but I just can’t manage to make it to work until I am literally hours past my clock in time. Another thing I frequently think about is whenever people say they’re “busy” at their job I always think about what “busy” really is and think about my time at McDonalds lol that job taught me a lot for sure.
Your vids convinced me to try McDonald’s again after at least 7 years on my lunch today. Got a qtr pounder, and spicy nuggets. Got reminded why I don’t eat McDonald’s. But I do enjoy these vids!

Stephen, what are the functions of the red, white, blue, and gray buttons? Also, how do the labels and buttons operate on the protein warmers, as well as the fryers and grills? Just curious to see more of the non-food side of MCD's.
I work at McDonalds and the red buttons are for turning the orders on or off on your table/side.
Former assistant manager here,
red button either enables or disables the orders on the side of the table.
Grey button is for serving orders off from the side
White will enable an option for one side to only take drive thru orders and one takes front counter.
The buttons are quality timers, it counts down to let you know how much longer you have until food is bad. It dings when it goes off, ohhhh the trauma from that sound.
@@deathrow1469 What are the tiny stickers for?

While I'm sure everyone is talking about how hard it is to do this, how satisfying this video is, how streamlined this is, or how he kicked the bun. I will bring to light the more fun parts that I watched:
-The genius idea of the giant vacuum under the table where they can get rid of the trash. As a fast food worker, I would kiss whoever makes that!
-The worker in the background singing Hot Potato!
-How he says light tartar sauce!
-Generally just how fun it must be to use those sauce tools!
-The struggle of replacing that goddamn receipt paper!!
-And lastly, and personally my favorite bit.., How he noticeably goes into turbo mode when a bunch of orders appears. It's like the worker's version of nitro and tells me that you were in the zone.
Loved the video!!

If a McD is open 24 hours, when and how do you clean, sanitize and remove all the bits of toppings? Also fryer maintenance would be interesting. Great videos, thank you!
Usually when it's late or early you don't have many customers and can get this done
usually when it starts to get slow, they'll start wiping down and sweeping and stuff but there's also specific times during the day when certain tasks will get done, so they don't go too long without cleaning up
At the McDonald's I work we are always sweeping and roughly every 2 hours we try to mop the kitchen. And around 2 in the morning we temporarily close so they can clean the fryers and the grills are cleaned and pulled out so the grease behind the grills can be cleaned and that roughly takes about an hour and then we reopen and begin the change over for breakfast.
Maybe make it 22 hours a day just to clean like at 3pm before rush hour and 3am. Example
@@sanchezs7614 No way in hell would one of these stores close at 3 pm unless something seriously wrong was happening.
I have nothing but respect for any type of worker,

Keep the grinding going ladies and gentlemen.
The ketchup and mustard was actually really interesting to see. I work for a different fast food place, we just use regular squeeze bottles.
I’m always impressed how you can tell the difference between top and bottom bun without flipping them over lol
I'm impressed with the quality of work in such a short amount of time here. Thank you for what you do, because it's not an easy job (especially considering the mediocre pay and huge expectations). 10/10 Good video.
P.S. I find it very entertaining that a guy named S. Patula works at a McDonald's.
I can honestly say that when I worked the very short amount of time at MacDonalds it NEVER ran as smoothly as your store does! You've all got everything worked out so it's almost perfect! Damn I wish I would've worked at your store, I would've learnt so much. Great video, thanks for uploading 🙂
@Karl with a K 1000 island dressing.
These videos are so satisfying to watch. I enjoy the real-workflow vibes.
It’s interesting to see that the McDonald brothers original ketchup and mustard dispenser design is still in use. 40 years ago when I worked for McDonalds, they were still made of stainless steel like the originals. We didn’t have those cool bun warmers. Do they still have those goofy training that I had to watch 40 years ago? Thanks for posting this, it’s very interesting. They have a ton more of the menu and they serve breakfast now which McDonalds didn’t do long ago.
I’m watching someone do their job and enjoying it, I need to do something with my life
Barely a minute in and I already have so much more respect for the work being done at McDonalds. Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for anyone doing any kind of work, especially those doing work that most would consider demeaning, gross, or impossibly hard. But just watching two minutes of this video and there is already so much knowledge and experience on display that proves that any schmuck couldn't just walk in and do this without a lot of training and memorization. Like anything, repetition and time lead to expertise and efficiency, but still. In just a short time I now understand and appreciate why my orders are almost always wrong at any fast food establishment. There are are so many menu items, wrappers, labels, toppings, devices, doodads and thingamajigs that until you've been around at least a few weeks you will likely mess up a lot of orders. With the undoubtedly high turnover it makes sense why consistent accuracy is a struggle. Mad respect to you, S. Patula, and all work in your industry. Thank you for your dedication to your craft. If you were in Japan you'd probably be making a killing running your own yatai.
I respect your work ethic. I personally haven’t gone back to a McDonald’s in years after an employee gave me a burger that had clearly been biten into. But still, good to know there’s good employees working at McDonald’s
So satisfying to watch how others work. It’s a work of art how our minds act differently and take in things differently. Majority of this video I kept saying “I may have done it differently” but guess what? I don’t work there so I don’t have a say in how you do your job! Well done! Love this
The vacuum idea is pretty genius, I want that at my McDonald’s.
I always have lots of respect for fast food and retail workers. Y'all work hard!
i respect y’all so much. it really is FAST food, that’s why i never complain when the sauce is lopsided or i only get 1 pickle.
if i was in the mood to control ingredients, i’d go to subway
I don't know why I find this so interesting but I keep coming back for more! Interesting to see what happens behind the scenes! Keep up the good work 🙂

I'm developing a love/hate relationship with these videos, I put one of your video's on and I'm blown away by the respect you show your fellow employee's and the food you prepare, and the effort and professionalism you put into your job. After a while it makes me want to order a Maccies for myself, but you don't work at my local branch and the people there apparently hate food and I'm always disappointed.
Love these longer videos, Stephen! 😍
Keep up the amazing content like always! 😋
R.I.P that bun. 2022-2022 died from falling on floor. And his last words where 🍞. F to pay respect
Stephen: The difference in the efficiency of McDonald's today and when I worked there in High School, is night and day. I remember dragging huge burlap bags of potatoes up from the basement, washing them, peeling them, cutting them, blanching them, filling fry baskets and hanging them on the fry rack, all before we opened at 10:00 am. I remember working the grill, in the days when the Big Mac and the Filet o Fish where the "big deal" sandwiches. In 1967, when I started and I was a "Window man," 2 burgers, a fry and a medium drink was $.87! My younger brother James, actually went to "Hamburger University in either 1968 or 1969." He worked at McDonald's for @ six years, before moving on. He later said he wished he had stayed.
I turned 72 a few months ago, and I love watching your videos. I will be retiring next year, from my third career...but I started at McDonald's.
Good Luck on becoming the owner in the near future.
I must say, you have more stamina, perseverance and diligence than I could ever dream of having, mad respect
This is why I roll my eyes so much when people say “Lots of work makes the time go by fast” because literally 16 minutes takes forever to go by because you’re doing so much repetitive cumbersome work.
not to mention constantly bending over, craning your neck and back
McDonalds is the definition of perfect process scheduling and a streamlined production line. Good work man…
We need the full 8 hours of this
Including bathroom breaks?

More long ones, this never gets old.
Speed, precision, focus and flow. Amazing. Now I wonder who preps all the pieces and parts so you can work that fast.
Im just imagining the pain this would give me in my feet and upper back
