The Golden Arches Code, a global set of marketing, advertising, legal and trademark policies, says that all McDonald's employees, franchisees, agencies and suppliers are responsible to ensure the code's full compliance.
If you're asked to pull ahead, it's because that timer is ticking! You might think it makes things easier to park and wait at the window instead, but they want to keep cars moving. This is how McDonald's drive-thrus are changing this year.
Nails Ensure that nails are short, filed, clean, and neat. Artificial nails and nail polish are NOT ALLOWED in food preparation without use of disposable gloves, per Health Department regulations.
Chains must be put inside of your uniform shirt. Hair length for male and female employees should not overlap the collar of the uniform shirt. If it does, it needs to be pulled up and secured during working hours.
It's our policy that hats should be worn by all food handlers. Hair must be kept under the hat and away from the face, and styled or tied back so that it is close to the head. Hairnets may be required for hairstyles that do not fit completely under the hat.
Food from an outside source is prohibited. You may bring a homemade birthday cake if you wish, but a Release of Harm form will need to be completed the day of your party. Can I bring in outside entertainment?
I've worked in fast food for over a year and you would not believe the amount of food we give away because “we messed up the order”. From previous working experience at McDonald's, yes you can ask for anything fresh. You can ask for anything including double toasting a bun, getting well done patties, etc.
This was to ensure food safety and also optimal taste. In terms of food safety, a burger should not be consumed if it has been left out at room for more than two hours due to the possible build up of bacteria.
Another reason junk food can't make us full? Ultra-processed foods can contain as much as 8 times the amount of sugar as whole foods, which can substantially raise the triglycerides in our bloodstream.
When you eat a high calorie meal, your body's insulin response can bring down your glucose levels, causing you to want to eat more. The bun's high-fructose corn syrup is quickly absorbed by your GI tract, creating insulin spikes and even bigger hunger pangs.
The brain processes color before it processes words or shapes, so that's why the fast-food chain chose these two colors for their logo and brand. Red and yellow makes you hungry, encouraging you to want to buy the product they sell, while also making you feel happy.
The iconic golden arches in the shape of an “m” were inspired by the architectural arches that structured the first McDonald's restaurants. In the logo, the arches were ignored until Ray Kroc bought the business in its entirety in 1961. From this point on, the arches stood strong and resolute like the chain itself.
You will get Cardi B's order — a classic McDonald's cheeseburger paired with tangy BBQ sauce and a large Coca-Cola — along with Offset's beloved Quarter Pounder with cheese and a large Hi-C. It all comes together with a large order of fries and a gooey, flaky apple pie.
In addition to its food offerings, McDonald's is also recognized for its iconic "Golden Arches" logo and its "I'm Lovin' It" slogan. The company is committed to sustainability, community involvement, and providing a positive experience for its customers and employees.
As a result, our restaurants waste less than 1% of edible food stock. Unfortunately we can't send cooked food to be eaten elsewhere as this would breach our food safety policies, but we do send all leftover food for composting, rendering or anaerobic digestion.
The suppliers we work with first peel, cut and blanche the potatoes. They then dry, partially fry and quickly freeze the fries for our restaurants. Once in our kitchens, we cook them in our canola-blend oil so you can have them crispy and hot—just the way you like them.
Long story short: It's probably not a good idea to eat fast food every day. But if you eat it once a week—or better yet, twice a month! —you're probably fine. Just make sure the rest of your diet is healthy and balanced.
