The first KFC restaurant was opened in 1973 on Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman.
Today there are more than 500 KFC Restaurants nationwide and
still counting. Great tasting chicken has become synonymous with
KFC and has been enjoyed by Malaysians ever since. In fact, KFC
Malaysia has developed a distinctive Malaysian personality of
its own.
Especially for Malaysians
At KFC, we recognize that improving the quality of life and economic vitality of the
communities in which we conduct business is in the best interest of our company, our
patrons, our employees and our industry.
Projek Penyayang KFC was developed to provide food to 150++ homes every quarter.
Projek Penyayang KFC was founded in 1995 in an effort to enable thousands of orphans
and underprivileged children to enjoy KFC meals. Over 6,500 children are treated to a
finger lickin' good food every year. This year marks the 10th Anniversary of Projek
Penyayang.
This in turn, was followed by Tabung Penyayang KFC, a charitable fund, whose sole
purpose was to help orphanages in Malaysia. Tabung Penyayang was founded in 1997, to
help children and the needy through various CSR programme. Tabung Penyayang KFC is
a unique fund as it represents a percentage of revenue generated from the sale of KFC's
Kids' Fun Meals.
In August 1999, KFC introduced its 'Tabung Penyayang' KFC Collection Box as an
extension to the Tabung Penyayang KFC Programme. Collection boxes are placed at all
KFC restaurants enabling customers to contribute and be apart of this charitable effort.
Today, 4 of KFC Restaurants are run by speech and hearing-impaired staffs that was
designed to serve physically challenged individuals. They serve to dispel the myth that a
disability impede a person from leading a normal life and gives them a sense of
confidence and self-esteem.
These 4 restaurants are located in Peninsular and East Malaysia. First is at Sentul Raya, in
Kuala Lumpur, second is at Saujana, in Sarawak, the third is at Tanjung Aru, Sabah and
4th Johor.
Currently, we are still conducting other programmes for Malaysian charities. And we will
continue to extend a corporate helping hand whenever and wherever we can.

History of mcd
The McDonalds family moved from Manchester, New Hampshire to Hollywood in the
late 1930s, where brothers Richard and Maurice McDonalds began working as set movers
and handymen at Motion-Picture studios.[4] In 1937, their father Patrick McDonald
opened "The Airdrome", a food stand, on Huntington Drive (Route 66) near the Monrovia
Airport in Monrovia, California[5] with Hot dogs being the first item sold. Then
Hamburgers were ten cents, and all-you-can-drink orange juice was five cents. In
1940, Maurice and Richard ("Mac" and "Dick") moved the entire building 40 miles
(64 km) east, to West 14th and 1398 North E Streets in San Bernardino, California. The
restaurant was renamed "McDonald's Bar-B-Que" and had twenty-five menu items,
mostly barbecue.
In October 1948, after the McDonald brothers realized that most of their profits came
from selling hamburgers, they closed down their successful carhop drive-in to establish a
streamlined system with a simple menu of just hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries,
shakes, soft drinks, and apple pie. The carhops were eliminated to make McDonald's a
self-service operation. The brothers took great care in setting up their kitchen like an
assembly line to ensure maximum efficiency. The restaurant's name was changed again,
this time to simply "McDonald's," and reopened on December 12, 1948.
In 1952, the brothers decided they needed an entirely new building in order to achieve
two goals: further efficiency improvements, and a more eye-catching appearance. They
collected recommendations for an architect and interviewed at least four altogether,
finally choosing Stanley Clark Meston, an architect practicing in nearby Fontana, in the
fall.[4] The brothers and Meston worked together closely. They achieved the extra
efficiencies they needed by, among other things, drawing the actual measurements of
every piece of equipment in chalk on a tennis court behind the McDonald house (with
Meston's assistant Charles Fish).[6] The design achieved a high level of noticeability
thanks to gleaming surfaces of red and white ceramic tile, stainless steel, brightly colored
sheet metal, and glass; pulsing red, white, yellow, and green neon; and last but not least,
two 25-foot yellow sheet-metal arches trimmed in neon, called "golden arches" even at
the design stage. A third, smaller arch sign at the roadside hosted a pudgy character in a
chef's hat, known as Speedee, striding across the top, trimmed in animated neon. Further
marketing techniques were implemented to change Mc Donald's from formally a sit down
restaurant to a fast food chair, the used such things as turning off the heating to prevent
people wanting to stay so long, fixed and angled seating so the customer would sit over
their food promoting them to eat faster, spreading the seats further apart so being less of a
socialble place to dine in, and giving their customers branded cone shaped cups forcing
them to hold their drink whilst eating which would speed up the eating process, many
other companies follows Mc Donald's statagies to turn their own restaurants into fast food
establishments including, Burgerking, Castle and Subway. [4]
In late 1952, with only a rendering of Meston's design in hand, the brothers began
seeking franchisees.[4] Their first franchisee was Neil Fox, a distributor for General
Petroleum Corporation. Fox's stand, the first with Meston's golden arches design, opened
in May 1953 at 4050 North Central Avenue at Indian School Road in Phoenix, Arizona.
Their second franchisee was the team of Fox's brother-in-law Roger Williams and
Burdette "Bud" Landon, both of whom also worked for General Petroleum. Williams and
Landon opened their stand on 18 August 1953 at 10207 Lakewood Boulevard in Downey,
California. Today the Downey stand has the distinction of being the oldest surviving
McDonald's restaurant.[7] The Downey stand was never required to comply with the
McDonald's Corporation's remodeling and updating requests over the years because it
was franchised not by the McDonald's Corporation, but by the McDonald brothers
themselves to Williams and Landon. (Recognizing its historic and nostalgic value, in
1990 the McDonald's Corporation acquired the stand and rehabilitated it to a modern but
nearly original condition, and then built an adjacent museum and gift shop to
commemorate the site.)
In 1954, Ray Kroc, a seller of Multimixer milkshake machines, learned that the
McDonald brothers were using eight of his machines in their San Bernardino restaurant.
His curiosity was piqued, and he went to San Bernardino to take a look at the McDonalds'
restaurant. He was joined by good friend Charles Lewis who had suggested to Kroc
several improvements to the McDonald's burger recipe.
Believing the McDonalds' formula was a ticket to success, Kroc suggested they franchise
their restaurants throughout the country. The brothers were skeptical, however, that the
self-service approach could succeed in colder, rainier climates; furthermore, their thriving
business in San Bernardino, and franchises already operating or planned, made them
reluctant to risk a national venture.[4] Kroc offered to take the major responsibility for
setting up the new franchises elsewhere. He returned to his home outside of Chicago with
rights to set up McDonald's restaurants throughout the country, except in a handful of
territories in California and Arizona already licensed by the McDonald brothers. The
brothers were to receive one-half of one percent of gross sales.[4] Kroc's first McDonald's
restaurant opened on April 15, 1955, at 400 North Lee Avenue in Des Plaines, Illinois,
near Chicago. (It was demolished in 1984 after many remodels.) Kroc incorporated his
company as McDonald's Systems, Inc., which he would later rename McDonald's
Corporation.
Once the Des Plaines restaurant had become operational, Kroc sought franchisees for his
McDonald's chain. The first snag came quickly. In 1956 he discovered that the McDonald
brothers had licensed the franchise rights for Cook County, Illinois to the Frejlach Ice
Cream Company. Kroc was incensed that the McDonalds had not informed him of this
arrangement. He purchased the rights back for $25,000, five times what the Frejlacks had
originally paid, and pressed forward. McDonald's grew slowly for its first three years. By
1958, there were 34 restaurants. In 1959, however, Kroc opened 68 new restaurants,
bringing the total to 102 locations.

Training
Philosophy of Training at McDonald's
We are a learning organization that provides opportunity, nurtures talent, develops
leaders, and rewards achievement. The foundation of the McDonald's training system is
providing training when and where it is needed. Through effective training, team
members at McDonald's can become proficient and focused on the system's specific
procedures and policies. Some of the crew will remain at the restaurant as essential crew
members; some will move into management; others may simply move on. Whether in a
first job or throughout a career, McDonald's training provides life skills that may be
useful in many different situations.
McDonald's Learning Approach
McDonald's uses a blended learning approach to apply the training principles, which
means multiple methods are used to deliver training messages. These methods include the
following:
Self-study, which allows participants to work independently using a standard curriculum
to learn the important operational standards.
On-the-job coaching gives the participant the opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder
with a coach, which builds on-the-job practical restaurant skills and shows how the
concepts work in real life.
Training tools enable consistent messages to be delivered.
Classroom training is a planned, instructor-facilitated event, held either in or out of the
restaurant. Classroom activities include real restaurant experiences.
