1. At the beginning of the movie, Ray was trying to sell milkshake

machines because he had created them and advertised them to
people, but after getting rejected repeatedly, he became frustrated
and wanted to close down his business because he had lost hope and
thought what he was doing was pointless. However, despite these
thoughts, Ray still desired success in life and would constantly push
himself to achieve it.
2. Ray Kroc first learned about the McDonald brothers when he noticed
an unusually large order for one of his milkshake mixer machines.
Thinking there might have been a mistake in the order, he called the
store's current owners and inquired about the milkshake mixers, as
well as whether the quantity they purchased was possibly an error in
the process.
3. The first location of McDonald’s was in San Bernadino, California and
this fast-food restaurant was known for its quick food production,
cheap food, good variety, and still producing excellent quality all at
once. The experience Ray Kroc first had when he went to that
restaurant was surprised to get his order very quickly has he was
confused on where to eat, what was in front of him, and how to eat
it knowing that very little fast food restaurants existed that could
produce food like that in a short amount of time and didn’t know
what to do as he had never ordered food that came in a paper bag. It
was different to all the restaurants at the current time as McDonald’s
was one of the very first restaurants to serve fast food in a paper bag
that you can take on the go and eat anywhere you like and throw it
all out without the hassle.
4. The reason why the first McDonald brothers were first reluctant to
use a franchise model is because in the past, they had multiple
restaurants across the country but having that meant they could not
have control over the restaurants like they did if they had one and
 realizing that after the fact that other restaurants had completely
messed up the idea of their original restaurant plan and started
selling items that weren’t on their menu or standards were lowered.
5. The very first McDonald’s menu only had a few select items and at a
insanely low cost allowing it to be very cheap and affordable for
anyone to get a quick bite.
6. The potential method Ray Kroc used was sending out flyers to people
who in that time were interested in owning a McDonald’s restaurant.
7. Ray Kroc's actions in the film "The Founder" can be viewed as
unethical. In order to succeed, Ray Kroc was shown to be a
businessman who would do whatever it took, even if it meant taking
advantage of people. Because the McDonald brothers lacked
business acumen, he took advantage of their ignorance to sign a
contract giving him control over the company because he saw a
chance to grow the McDonald's franchise. Breaking his contract with
the McDonald brothers was among Ray Kroc's most unethical
actions. Despite his assurance that he would give them a share of the
profits, he managed to falsify the accounts and pocket the money
instead. Additionally, he broke their agreement by opening new
franchises without their consent, going against their wishes. Ray
Kroc's treatment of his business partners was yet another immoral
act. If they didn't concur with his decisions, he was willing to fire
them from the company. He also claimed credit for their ideas while
denying them the due credit.
