the blue glove maker must love you guys

I worked at a McDonald's for less than two weeks and quit because of how awful the communication was and how I was talked to. This though...this is a well oiled machine with praise at every corner. Just those simple thank you's go a long way. Even if they don't fully mean it.

Very well coordinated. Everyone is working with their own station and this is how it should be. Also great communication along with the "thank you" etc. Looks like a decent backstage mcdonalds.

The amount of food served in a single store is incredible. Amazing to watch.

RIP Crispy chicken 2022-2022

It's a real respect to what goes on backstage. Even as organized as this appears to be... it still feels stressful to me. Being a cog in a fast food kitchen especially a very busy one like a mcdonalds would be is not easy.

This man should be hired to make high volume work efficiency training videos. What a legend.

This brings back a lot of memories . Working at macass was my first ever job in the UK. Very similar procedures but I do remember a bit more colour coding of the baskets and trays for veg patties , fish and chicken. Fries were at a different station alltogether. Used to hate the days when I used manage the entire chicken station by myself on normal days which turn out super busy lol. Thought me a lot about money management and being responsible to manage my station and not leave a pile of shit for the next person. The beaps and the sounds were all the same .

I worked in the service industry for two awesome restaurants (Olive Garden & Applebees) 10+ years and I’ve gotta say this is by far the most structured work environment ever

The fact that you are an owner operator and still work the kitchen is the best part.

From working in a hotel for breakfast and lunch with only me there really is no need for communication much but, i can happily say McDonald's workers are none the less impressive for being able to keep up with the communication like that. Also a lot of kitchen workers I've met get overwhelmed when it gets busy. So good job!!

Idc what they say about yall u guys are making an honest living working hard like the rest of us and I appreciate that greatly. Nothing but respect and thank u for filling our bellys when we're in need of something quick and easy👍

I have to say, I've never worked at a McDonalds, I've done other fast food, and cooked in proper restaurants, and that kitchen doesn't look terrible to work in. It's clean, everything's organized, people are communicating efficiently, and running a fry station with automatic timers, that's really the dream. They hit 20 bucks an hour in my area, I might just go back and start cooking again! Not really, but thanks for the nostalgia!

I’ve worked at McDonalds for a while now and thanks to you’re videos and the advice you’ve given I’ve adapted it to my normal work day, like using me less dominant hand when wrapping and trying new ways to get the wraps done have helped me improve my work ethic and hopefully my GM sees it and I become a grill manager

I worked at McDonald's (UK) part-time whilst studying a few years back. Kind of funny to see similarities in the restaurant layout and procedures between the UK and US, haha. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve never really known what it’s like to know what’s happening behind the scenes at maccas, I find it so satisfying and cool! I would love to see more fries and drink videos or what it’s like to be at the drive through speaker person! Stephen you really make the vids enjoyable!!

I stumbled across this channel last week and now can’t get enough of it. 👍🏼👍🏼

These videos are doing a great job helping me see what to expect before I try to go work on fast food, these vids help a ton!

I've worked in McDonald's for a year and it's a night and day difference between your videos and my experience. We were understaffed and everyone was doing their job really poorly, which they had to compensate by rushing and putting people on multiple stations. I routinely had to work both frying and grilling, and it was a nightmare. The temperature regime also wasn't well followed, so i couldn't just dump whole pack of nuggets in the basket or put 1/10 to grill so easily - they were constantly sticking together. What you show in your videos is just so...correct, and smooth. If my work environment was like this i wouldn't so abruptly

man I'm envious of the teamwork you have in your stores. I'd be lucky if I had one single other grill person with me most of the time. I usually am on table by myself making everything and between orders have to drop whatever I can at the time with the faulty grills and fryers, run back to table to finish up orders and repeat. even then I still get asked to do stuff for other stations when I barely have time for myself. it sucks lol but I'm used to it now.

I’ve never worked in food service, but I watched a bunch of these videos before bed last night and dreamt I was working at McDs. It was fun!

Dude, im hooked on your channel, Keep up the fantastic work!

the polite 'thank you!' / 'your welcome!' imteractions make me want to work here, great job with this team!

This is totally different to the McDonalds I have experienced in the UK - the way people are talking to eachother here is incredible- so much communication in few words

Press F for the fallen Crisy, and Nugget.

these really need to be longer

I didn't work in fast food but at a family-run set of Italian restaurants and pizzerias. The work was slow and steady at times but then hellishly busy and required a thought-out plan that could cover hours in advance of preparation. At one moment I miss it but at the other, I don't. The parts that I miss are actually the owners and their kids as I grew up with them in school and I started working for them when I entered my freshman year. Learned a little bit in food service and some of it probably helped as I then started working for a yogurt company and the practices learned benefited me in ways. Working for a family business has its benefits where you also become a trusted member of their family where they literally feed you and support you when they saw that you needed help.

The best videos to watch at 2am right here

One of the greatest channels out there!

I love these videos. Much respect to the workers

I love how is shows his gratitude to everyone even for the smallest things

love to see someone enjoy their job so much that they post it...even if its working at mcdonalds, im thankful for workers like this and hope they shoot to the top and end up owning one of these fast food joints or creatingt their own chain one day.

These are the most chill food-service employees I've ever seen. Even when I was just a hostess in a restaurant, everyone was screamed at all throughout the day. A quick "please" and "thank you" goes a long way.

if only people at my store communicated like you and your crew did, sounds like a dream

This one has been one of the vids that I have enjoyed the most.

This is one of my fave channels. I had a McChicken on Saturday and I want another one!

This is what I've been doing for four months! Definitely was my favorite station to work at McDonalds!

Stephen, thank you for your videos!! I worked at Raising Cane's for 5 years, so it's interesting to see McD's back of the house. 😊

Imagine if every McDonalds had managers/staff all just like this dude. Imagine how much faster service would be lol.

Im surprised because these videos have helped me become a better employee at McDonalds, idk these videos have helped me put more passion into my job and tought me some lessons. What i also interesting to see how its pretty similar from McDonalds in Australia. Unfortunately your Resturant seems to be better run then the McDonalds that i work at, i wish you were my boss because you seem like you are really nice to your employees and you are able to run the resturant very well, I appreciate your passion as its really hard to be like that sometimes.

I miss the constant movement and organizational happening inside my head when working at jobs like these. I loved it! I would always test myself every day and try to do precise, fast, perfect work. I would win most days and some just were cluster nightmares! ahaahhahahahah great stuff man love it!

That was cool thx for your videos! Would like to see more videos of breakfast grill. Also suggest a long video on transitioning everything grill, line, etc from breakfast to lunch. Thanks again!

also the baskets you use for nuggets are huge, so different to the baskets down under. its so interesting seeing how you guys do stuff compared us in australia

I don't know why but watching people cook fries and friend chicken helps me fall asleep faster bruh

A salute to our fallen crispy chicken heroes 😭

So busy and chaotic , I have huge respect for you and other fast food workers like yourself. To see how hard and fast you work but yet us customers always have things to complain about it's so sad, keep up the great work bro ❤️

makes me happy to see an American person work so hard! much support

Is it weird that I enjoy watching these videos? Keep them coming

i completely respect your work ethic, i honestly feel like if places like this paid a decent wage the service would be outstanding at every location just like yours. 3 people making a good pay will outwork 7 people there just for the paycheck.

If you handed me that whole tray of McNuggets I would 100% eat the whole thing

You are making really good PR for MacDonald's and really show how much work it can be.

The sound of those nuggets frying is so satisfying

Wow your coworkers are so polite...THANK YOU and your welcomes all day....my old jobs it was "about Effing time and "you move slower than molasses"

Im impressed by the assembly line. I love the beeping of the machines. It's oddly soothing. Yeah Im weird lol.

Stephen, please make more fried products videos. I enjoy these so much! I’m 21 with Asperger’s autism, and I work at McDonald’s in my area. I enjoy doing fried products at work. It’s quite relaxing.

People talk shit but this is great. Teaches time management, multitasking, and coordination in the workplace. Great starting job

I couldnt do this all day…kudo’s to the hard working individuals who do.

I wish my local McDonald’s had the dedication to quality/cleanliness/efficiency as what is depicted in your videos. Locally I see dirty uniforms, lackadaisical attitudes, nasty floors, inconsistent order accuracy etc.. I hope you can be a change agent for McDonald’s.

The sound of the fryer beeping is burned into my mind, truly a staple of McDonalds.

i love watching these videos. I do service at my mcdonalds during third and always wonder what they're up to in the back!

You know what would be cool? If mcdonalds reached out to you and asked if they could use your videos in trainings to let workers see what the operating environment might be like.

*Stephen thank you for letting us know how McDonald's works behind the scenes!* *I love fried food and I do love McDonald's so your channel is really perfect!* 😈😋👍

I wish I could just order a bag of those frozen nuggets 😌

That was awesome to finally see how things worked at McDonald’s, my favorite

I remember working McDonald's when they had the Angus burgers in 2013. They got discontinued the same year due to high beef prices. I'll never forget that mushroom swiss angus burger 😋

Since I’ve been watching your videos, I’ve been going to McDonald’s more often like 2-3 times a week and had everything. I’ve also gained about 12 pounds, and I my wife noticed a little different in the bedroom. My wife said to stop going there so many times, but I told her I’m my own man, I make my own decisions.

You all are rock stars! This kitchen looks very clean as well.

Press F for the fallen Nugget into the Fryer.

A moment of silence for the fallen crispy chicken.

You came up on my feed and naturally i saw the video. Now im subd. I work at a fast food place also. This is soothing. haha

Your crew probably has the best communication and courtesy I've ever heard from a fast food joint. I worked for Chikfila and even we weren't that nice

I know I'm late but I have to say this work environment is absolutely phenomenal.

so polite xd, ive been to mc donalds´s where everyone was just mad and mean at each other.

Your boss must really like this crew! Good work!

Damn I wish I could be half as efficient as you whenever I'm doing something 😅 Anyways keep up the good work and thanks for these videos they're a blessing!

I work at an Australian McDonalds, and while the basic principle is the same, cooking the fried, then transferring it into the UHC, is exactly the same, there are so many smaller differences that throw me off lmao. When I cook Crispy Chicken, the timer for it only goes for 4:30, whereas yours goes for 6:55, which threw me for a loop. and the sizes of your baskets are different (probably due to you working in an established city). The big nugget baskets have 4 segments to them, and then you also have bigger trays for the nuggets to sit in the UHC to accommodate. However, the baskets I only deal with have 2 segments to them, rather than doubling up for a total of 4 Another thing I noticed is that you don't have different colours for different fried products. When we cook fillet, we have a designated basket with a blue handle on it that's only for fish, and black for the rest of the other fried products. As well as having a blue handled basket for cooking, we also have a designated blue coloured tray that we put the fillet in, and no other trays are meant for fillet. It's cool to see that fundamentals are the same, like the same Low Oil Volume vats are used, and the line is more or less the same. One thing I wish we did here in Australia is we put onion on the 10:1 (the meat that goes on cheeseburgers, I'm not entirely sure if it has a name over in America (It's called 10:1 cause its 10 meat patties to the one pound. Even though Australia uses grams and kilograms, because McDonalds is an American restaurant originally, some of the weights have trickled over into Australian McDonalds terminology. For other meat patties we call 3:1 and 4:1, where the same logic applies there, where it's 3 and 4 meat patties to the 1 pound respectively)) while its still on the grill, rather than putting it on on the line. IMO it just makes so much more sense. No mess on the grill, the sidecatchers for the oil wouldn't get as dirty, just overall cleaner. We used to do that years ago, but that was before I first started working there, and I'm jealous of my friends who I work with had the opportunity to put 10:1 onion on cheeseburgers.

Hey! Can you do milkshakes, mcflury or ice cream next time?

I love the communication "thank you" "you're welcome"

why am i enjoying this so much.

I love seeing how polite everyone is to each other! I do have a question…Are French fries ever fried in the same oil as your meat products?

just got my wisdom teeth out and this content is keeping me going. keep it up!!

Wow this video made me realize, that McDonalds is basically just premade food you find in the freezer section at a grocery store thrown in a fryer…

Man the Filet-O-Fish is so dank especially when your toasted :D

I work in a McDonalds in France and being at the fried line seems so much easier on your side ! In France, we have Nuggets, McChicken, another Chicken for the CBO (tho we don't have crispy chicken), Fish, Wraps, Fried Goat Cheese, we also currently have fried Apple Pies, Eggs and we have a thing called a Croque that is basically one reg bread with 2 cheese and a slice of ham that we toast. You never finish your shift at the fried line without being sweaty af because of how many things you have to cook. Is it everywhere the same in your country or is it just MacDonalds France that put so many things ?

I had several jobs like this and they were all some of the best times of my life. If I worked at McD’s I would want to do the cooking or food prep. You couldn’t pay me enough to interact with the customers though.

all of my respect for people who work for public (such as waiters, chefs...etc) 🙌

This is like real life Diner Dash... and I'm lovin' it.

Found your channel earlier today. Couldn’t stop watching. Went to get McDonald’s for lunch 🤣

Fun fact. There are 24 nuggets in one bag. 2 bags to a basket. 36 bags to a case for a total of 864 nuggs a case. When I worked there still, we went through 3 and a half cases in a 8hour shift once

Amazing to watch and made me hungry af :' )

Whew 2011 memories for me. They had selects when I worked there.

Fresh nuggets are one of the best things ever

I would love to know how often they change the oil and see a video of how they change the old oil for new oil

I don’t like Mc Donald’s .. but watched 5 videos and seeing how you’re working and work ethic is .. I absolutely wouldn’t mind eating at your location lol

Thanks for these vids

rip to that crispy chicken filet that fell on the ground 🙏

I work for a foodservice company that specializing in designing equipment. So it's really neat to see your point of view while you work, and how you interact with specific equipment. Thank you for sharing Stephen!

Gracias por estos vídeos, acabo de entrar a trabajar a un mcdonals y realmente no me explican bien y tengo que andar adivinando como tonta, pero ya aprendí más viendo tus videos :D gracias!

I’m addicted to this channel

im surprised you dont have different colored trays for each item, my store had blue small ones for mcchicken, white small ones for chrispy, the color of the big nugets ones but small for the fish
