Restaurant Management System

The corporate philosophy of McDonald’s is to meet the expectations of customers through providing the QSC & V (Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value) that was envisioned by Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s Corporation.
Efforts are made every day to improve QSC & V to provide customers with warm, freshly prepared food through the best service in a clean and bright atmosphere to enable them to have restaurant experiences that exceed their expectations. To make this a reality, a global restaurant management system is in place.
