The Early Days


In 1954, Ray Kroc, a milkshake machines salesman, acquired the exclusive franchising rights to a successful California-based hamburger chain from brothers Dick and Maurice (Mac) McDonald. He had visited the brothers at the first restaurant in San Bernadino, California, after hearing that their restaurant used 8 milkshake multi-mixers, more multi-mixers than any other similar-size restaurant. Kroc bought out the brothers' interest in the business in 1961.

Ray Krocs 1st Restaurant
The first Kroc owned McDonald's opened on April 15, 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois. With a seven-item Menu - Hamburger, Cheeseburger, French Fries, Shakes, Soft Drinks, Coffee and Milk. The first day's sales were $366.12. Today, the first restaurant exists as a museum

U.S. Growth
By 1958 McDonald's served its 100 millionth Hamburger. The 200th restaurant opened in 1960. The one billionth Hamburger was served in 1963. McDonald's celebrated its 10th anniversary in 1965 with its first offering of stock to the public listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

In 1975 McDonald's opened its first Drive-thru Window to accommodate a more mobile society. Customer demand for convenience in the 1980's led to the opening of the first McDonald's restaurants in non-traditional locations, such as airports, colleges, hospitals, and stadiums. In the 1990's McDonald's continues to seek out locations that are convenient to its customers such as discount stores and petrol stations.
Over the years McDonald's Menu has evolved as customers' tastes have changed. The company expanded its menu from its original seven items to include breakfast, salads, chicken and desserts. McDonald's will continue to develop new products and enhance existing ones as customer tastes and technology change.

World-Wide Expansion
The first McDonald's restaurant outside of the United States opened in Canada in 1967. The company's international division was formed in 1969, and today McDonald's has expanded to 119 countries on 6 continents. McDonald's largest market outside of the U.S. is Japan, where the first Golden Arches opened in 1971. Today, Japan host's 2,400 restaurants. McDonald's other large markets include Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Australia. Recent international expansion has included rapid growth for McDonald's in the Middle East, Central Europe and South Africa.
McDonald's restaurants all serve the same basic menu of Hamburgers and French Fries. However, some international markets have added specific menu items to please local tastes.

IBM-Daksh's, the second largest BPO

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ FRIDAY, JUNE 02, 2006 12:00:00 AM]
NEW DELHI: Big blue is getting bigger and betting big on BPOs out of India. Its BPO arm, IBM-Daksh added over 10,000 staff in the last 12 months and now, with over 20,000 employees, it has emerged as the second largest business process outsourcing vendor in India, in terms of headcount. Ahead of IBM-Daksh, is the $500m Genpact with over 23,000 people.

Significantly, the BPO operation has become one of IBM’s key growth drivers in India. IBM-Daksh accounts for about 50% of IBM’s total staff strength in India and serves some of its largest clients. Some of its key clients include Amazon, PayPal, Sprint, HP, Yahoo, Citibank and Bharti Televentures. The last is its biggest client in the domestic business.

However, the India operations that service over 30 clients continue to do a lot of voice tasks. Almost 66% of the work relates to handling calls and barring technology support, this mainly relates to customer care type of activities.

When asked about this, Mr Vaish told ET, “We are focused on CRM, HR, F&A and procurement verticals. We do a lot of high-end finance analytics tasks also. This includes supporting IBM CFOs around various geographies.”

While there has been speculation that Daksh founder and IBM-Daksh CEO Sanjeev Aggarwal is quitting, the company declined to comment on this. Says Pavan Vaish, COO, IBM-Daksh, “We do not comment on speculation.”

Commenting on IBM-Daksh’s growth, Mr Vaish said the employee base has grown by 234% in the last two years. IBM acquired Daksh in ’04 and at that time, its employee strength was around 6,000 people. “We have also beefed up our business transformation outsourcing (BTO) capabilities and we service several end-to-end transformation accounts out of India,” he said.

Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), a business intelligence and consulting firm, is one such account. IBM has signed a seven-year $180m business transformation deal with the company. IBM Daksh helps innovate and manage more than 1,00,000 customer relationships, as well as selected financial and business functions. These include finance and accounts, customer service and collections tasks for D&B. The account is serviced from IBM’s centres in Latin America, Europe and India.
