The entrepreneur who started McDonald's was Ray Kroc, who joined the company in 1954. Although the original McDonald's restaurant was founded by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald in 1940, Kroc recognized its potential for expansion and transformed it into a global franchise. He established the franchise model, standardized operations, and significantly grew the brand, making McDonald's one of the world's largest fast-food chains.
