Te people, products and places that have shaped the foodservice sector as we know it today
Whether born of brief flashes of inspiration, brilliant minds, eureka moments or simple common sense, the foodservice sector is driven by pioneers who have had the courage of conviction to start something new. Not all new ideas succeed, but those that take hold and gain traction often serve to shape the world into something new and different. In this – incomplete – list we celebrate some of the people, products and places that have left an indelible mark on the world of foodservice.
RICHARD AND MAURICEE MCDONALD
Te original entrepreneurs behind McDonald’s and the inventors of the Speedee Service System, the brothers opened the first drive-in restaurant in California in 1940. Teir system was the precursor for modern fast-food systems.
RAY KROC
Widely known as the founding father of fast food. Kroc spent his working life as a travelling salesman of items such as paper cups and mixers to cafés across the US. He came across a new concept in San Bernadino, where the McDonald brothers had set up a simple and efficient operation with no table service, food prepared on assembly lines and served on paper plates. Kroc went on to franchise the McDonald’s brand across the nation and the world.
