The sudden Coldplay really makes the breakfast to lunch transition all that more emotional

The fact that multiple crew members communicate exactly how many minutes are left until breakfast service is over is impressive. They are ready to make hotcakes or sausage patties right up until the very end - that is good service. I should be so lucky rolling up to my local McDonald's at 10:10 only to be told breakfast is (arbitrarily) over.

As a McDonald's employee, this is my least favorite time of day, especially when there's like 2 people in kitchen

As a customer, it's nice to see what goes on behind the scenes. Sometimes we can be very demanding, and it's nice to be reminded that there is an entire menu change that happens in real time. Surely it cant be easy.

That looks complicated and overwhelming. I honestly don't think I could do it. Respect your fast food workers everyone.

I never worked for McDonalds but I did work a kitchen cooking breakfast and lunch for a cafe in a large hospital. Its strange cause that life is well behind me, but I do miss the environment of cooking and the satisfaction it creates when you make food for people in a large quantity. I loved getting the order ticket and knowing exactly how long it took for eggs, bacon, sausage, quesadillas, and other items to be ready and time it all out to produce the item for the customer in a timely manner. I will say the best thing you can have as a cook is a caring and understanding staff that wont freak out when everything is backed up. Great video, loved seeing how McDonald's works behind the scenes.

The effeciency of you and your crew is amazing. I'll never say that my local joint does bad when it comes to communication, but your crew is clearly a cut above the rest. Keep up the amazing work! I'd also like the mention the respect you have for your crew, not only with the way you talk to them but the fact that you work with them so well.

As a loyal Mickey D’s customer. I thank you for your hard work and I appreciate you and your fellow McDonald’s employees. Thank you.

It used to really frustrate me when I’d get to McDonald’s 15-30 minutes before breakfast ended and I was told I couldn’t get a sausage cheese biscuit and a hash-brown (my two most favorite things) because breakfast was over. 😢 It’s great that you communicate with your crew and make sure everything is up and ready to go right up to the last-minute. That shows allot of kindness and awareness and definitely keeps customers coming back. 😎

This is incredible to see because customers (like me) have NO idea that people are working this hard behind the scenes. I hope all of the people complaining about fast food workers making $15 and more now realize these people work hard. To me, this is worth well over $15/hour to work like this!

As someone who has worked for McDonald's Canada for 3 years, I have all the respect in the world for my fellow Mickey-D's employees around the world. One thing I will mention is how surprised I am by the vast differences in uniforms. I am not insulting McDonald's USA in any form, but the uniforms seem to be less formal than those here in Canada. (Uniform is issued, must be tucked in, etc.) Nonetheless, all the respect in the fast food industry goes to your McDonald's. In every video I've seen on your channel your crew members are skilled and have some of the greatest communication skills I have seen at any fast food restaurant. I recently quit my 3 year gig and I must say that I will forever miss working at McD's. You are a great manager who ensures his crew members are competent and ready for anything a harsh lunch rush may bring. You run your franchise well. Keep lovin' it, Stephen!

Have you ever had someone just come in and ask to buy all of your leftover breakfast stuff?

14:28 I love how you take the time to open the biscuit up and then smother it with gravy. Too many times have I gotten the gravy biscuit from Mcdonalds where it’s still one piece and off to the side completely dry with the gravy on the other side.

Im starting at McDonald’s very soon and these videos were what inspired me to apply, I even mentioned I watched these videos in my interview and it helped get me the job! You are amazing

YES THANK YOU!! FINALLY THE VIDEO WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

When I last worked for a Maccas, The breakfast to lunch changeover was by far one of the most stressful times of the day with the compacting the remaining breakfast trays to take as little space as possible in the UHC in order to make room for the lunch trays, also somebody having to record temps for the lunch items that will be stored in the UHC, all while there had to be somebody initiate/assemble keeping up with the orders still coming in and I didn't forget to mention at any point the front can ask for pies or cookies to be baked so somebody has to put those in. It's just not a fun time lol.

Everyone should watch this and hopefully be more respectful of what it takes to prepare their food at these establishments. Real heroes at work. Thank you for your service!

If only it were like this back in the day. My store cut off breakfast 30 minutes early and it was hectic. No organization whatsoever, kudos to you sir!

Many years ago, I was a GM and then a DM for Burger King. The transition from Breakfast to Lunch was the most difficult and stressful part of the day…. Not fun…

I’ve been working at McDonald’s in the back line/ girl since February of this year and I have to say your videos have helped me so much. I told all my coworkers about you and to my surprise they already knew about you!! Keep up the good work so will I!

I worked at McD from 2012-2018. Good memories. I'm 27 now and still miss the vibes. Obviously it sucked at times, but overall, I enjoyed the work. I would follow ALL the timer on the ULDs tyvm.

I am a McDonalds employee and its cool to see what you guys do differently from my franchise. Cool video

Flashbacks, unwarranted nostalgia, I'm lovin it.

I know it's probably not exciting, but would like to see the breakfast burritos being made.

Samantha here. Growing up on McDonald’s food. Both during breakfast, and lunch. Dinner sometimes too. This was very neat to see. My favorite breakfast item. Is the sausage McMuffin with egg. For lunch, and dinner. It’s a toss up between quarter pounder with cheese meal, and the McChicken meal.

Nice to see how your team is working. There is actually a more efficient way to put the full UHC in a different mode. You can select the button in the left upper corner and choose Modes, select your mode and the full UHC-unit is switched immediately.

Its a lot easier to have empathy when you can understand. It is a lot easier to understand when you can see. Thank you for this.

Love watching your videos. I wish my local McDonalds was run as efficiently as yours is

This looks exhausting, much respect ✌️💕

Been waiting for this video for a while, very interesting. How do the warmers know what item is in each tray?

Sick, love watching these vids

Great song choice from the radio right at the beginning, caught my attention right there 😂 McDonald's + Coldplay = great combo

Always enjoy watching your vids, Stephen! You work hard. And you care about what you do. And your videos are fun to watch too! McDonalds should be recognizing you for promoting their brand more positively! Hopefully they are. Aloha 😊🤙🏼👏🏼

I don't know why I love watching these videos, but I do. From start to end, it's thrilling to watch. Keep making these!

Finally, 2 months of me working at McDonald's and i finally got put in the kitchen :)

I love these. This is my favorite tho - always been curious about the breakfast to lunch transition. Maybe a night close or an open next? Keep these coming man! I’m mesmerized by how you conquer process.

Saw your note that regions vote on products. That’s strange to me as McD always stood for consistency when traveling. I’m jealous of your breakfast selection there. I just figured many of those items were gone forever. Our local breakfast menu is tiny. I guess I now know it’s the local owners choosing that. Sucks. The loss of all day breakfast stopped an awful lot of visits for me. I can get a burger anywhere. Nice job on the changeover. Good crew.

Stephen Patula, thank you for producing and sharing what work is like for people everyday.

Can't stop thinking about his signature being S. Patula working at a McDonalds. Makes my day, thank you man!

I don’t think I could do your job as quickly! Thanks for the inside look. I appreciate all food service employees.

Was it just serendipitous that “Clocks” by Coldplay started playing exactly when you said “Alright.. I’m going to change over cabinets now, change over to lunch…” 😂

Watching your videos to see how McDonald’s goes through like working is very interesting, keep up that great work

I've been asking for this video for a long time and glad to see it's finally gotten done, thanks Stephen!

amazing work ethic. communication, team work, quality, everything you want from an employee. looks like the whole staff is the same. Wish more places were like this not just this specific McDonalds

EVERY single breakfast item still looked extremely fresh and delicous. Your location does an amazing job props to your team!

From that king of fast food breakfast sandwiches, the Sausage Egg & Cheese McGriddle to that king of fast food lunch sandwiches, the Quarter Pounder!

I had a friend who graduated high school with me, and his first job was McDonald's. I never scoffed or made fun of him, just happy he got the job. 10 years later he became higher management. 10 years after that he owned that building and a piece of the franchise. He retired at 40. I can't be mad at that.

0:50 Santa Stephen “oh, hoo hoo hoo, almost lost it” 😂 gets me every tiem

I love your videos and I want to thank you and your team for working so hard, also thank you for giving jobs to people. No shame in an honest dollar.

Wow. Working at Mcdonalds takes more skill, concentration, and coordination than i thought. Very impressive.

Smoother transition than i figured. I miss the all day breakfast. My local mcdonalds will still hook ya up with certain items like breakfast burritos all day. But not the rest menu. Great video man.

Well trained staff! Next time I order something, I'll think of this video....haha.

Finally! Thanks for the request!

switching breakfast to lunch looked like chaos but you did it so professionally

Finally what we’ve been asking for! Brilliant coordination!

Having worked in fast food for over 10 years it's unique to see how everyone works together. My restaurant never did breakfast (KFC) but there was constant communication from the front end order takers, drive thru team members, production and the cooks. It was always called out when we were running low on product, always to ensure we were never completely out. Even after we officially closed if we had customers and the product was available (fryers and cookers were off) we'd make it. For example if someone came through at 10:05pm looking for a Big Crunch combo, we'd make the sandwich, drink and probably throw in a few tenders/pieces of chicken as we couldn't make fries because our fryers take at least 30 minutes to heat up. I miss that job sometimes. We had a great team that was always worked together

HE'S BACK!!! 🔥❤

I worked at McDonalds in high school (2006 ish). Its interesting to see the procedures, equipment, and things that have changed and stuff that is still the same. Nice video

During the breakfast to lunch transition when I worked there as a punk 16 year old in 1992, we used to like to slide a nice hamburger patty under the hot cakes in the hot cakes & sausage.

I love your videos so much, I work the night shift so I really enjoy the morning videos so see what goes on before I show up

Thanks for this video! I’m one of the folks who comes in at the transition and tries to Norse both breakfast and lunch….wife is a vegetarian and prefers and egg/cheese muffin while the rest of the family wants lunch food. We were sad to see the all day breakfast go away

Question: What do you do with the leftover food from breakfast to lunch? Awesome videos!

I’ve been waiting for this video

My last job was at McDonald's and I did enjoy it and now that I'm retired I miss it and the friends I made there,my last job at my restaurant was maintenance/what ever else needed to be done thank you for bringing back great memories!

Is your store 24/7? If so, it would be interesting to see how you guys do overnight tasks (or close tasks).

I know people knock ‘em but the burritos are the only McDs breakfast I eat.

I dont understand how watching someone working at mcds brings me so much peace and joy.

I love the steak bagels. Nearly cried when they stopped serving in NYC, but they are back. Lovely video. I could watch this all day.

I like how most of us line workers adopt the same style of stacking multiple patties onto one sandwich then just move them as needed

What's the weirdest transition request you've ever had? Would it be possible to do something as outrageous as like a steak, egg, cheese and 10:1 meat bagel?

As a new McDonald's employee, I've seen a flawless transition between breakfast and lunch! Our managers make sure that this goes as flawless as possible. During this time of the day, we have at least 4 people in the kitchen.

I had worked in the past for 6 years when I was younger, what a fantastic and great experience. Nowadays with new tech is much more easier. Im from Argentina

As a casual McDonald’s enjoyer, I appreciated seeing how you transitioned from breakfast to lunch. 10/10, would eat at your location. Fin.

I go to a nearby McDonald's about three times a week, and this operation is like night and day compared to it. Just the other day I went in and witnessed the crackhead looking manager arguing with a they/them type employee over something another worker said. It got heated to the point where the manager said F it, lobby's closed and locked the door while I was still inside! I got my food and realized it was just locked from within, but an Uber Eats driver was trying to get in but was locked out. So as I left I held the door open for him, then a group of 5 followed behind him. I turned back and that manager gave me the evilest stink eye ever.

🎉YAY!🎉 A new video! Thank you. 🙏

Yay! You’re back! We’ve missed you.

always love these videos

I can’t don’t k is how but your videos are so satisfying and entertaining, you wouldn’t think so just from what they are about but they are

You know its a blessing and a curse I live 100 feet from a McDonalds, 'cos watching these videos always makes me want some.

Love how you run everything wish I could be as good!!! 😊

Certainly an eye opener, how hard you people work great job 👍

Bring back breakfast 24/7!

Hi! Fan from Mexico, I want personally, well digitally, thank you for showing these videos, as a costumer myself, I tend to not be demanding or an ahole, because I know how hard it is to work on a rush, (when I was 13, my father RIP made work as a bad packing boy at a supermarket) and looking at these menu transitions proves even more that we as costumers must remember that PEOPLE work behind the counter the best they can :)

This is truly mesmerizing to watch.

Man I worked in the back for two years and I absolutely loved everything about the job. McDonald’s hires good fun people who work hard and take everything serious. We would always kill it and still have enough time to joke around. If I could go back I would but the pay is no good. When I worked there I made $8.50 an hour.

Right off the bat, one of my favourite Coldplay songs!

No drama at this McDonalds. Good management. My McDs you can hear fighting and arguing. Zero peace....all chaos in the back.

One thing i love about your McDonald's location is the efficiency of your business and the quality of your work. I hope the McDonald's will soon be working at is the same way or i might have to relocate and get a job at your location 😅 Awesome job!

I love a good transition video

I used to work as a fry cook at Applebee's, and watching this brought back a lot of memories from that time. Every side dish such as vegetables and rice were in individual serving bags that were prepared earlier, and those got nuked. Gravy for those mash potatoes? Nuked. Side of soup? Nuked. The mash potatoes? Nuke em! Every deserrt that was served hot got nuked. I was amazed at first at just how much food was microwaved at the restaurant. It turned me off from eating at chain restaurants.

I'm proud of this manager he ran that station by himself I like that

This is Very Impressive and a strong 💪 effort to keep things Moving at a Great Pace. WOW! 👍🙏

With Chris Martin's voice in the background 🤗

lol love coldplay starting during the change

Nice to see you back😊😊

I love your videos I wait every week to watch them, if I was going to work at McDonald's it would be your locations

Steak, egg, and cheese bagels were my favorite. I haven’t seen one in years. Didn’t know they still had them. Wish they carried them around here.

hands down the best mcdonks breakfast item is the bacon egg and chesse bagel with a hash brown. On god that slaps so hard in the morning, I know it's bad for me, but GOD DAMMN

I’m in the food industry but I’m a server it’s impressive to see this actually. I like how you take pride in what you do. Unfortunately buy me they don’t hold themselves to such high standards.

It's a very difficult job. I felt that it was thanks to the crew that I was able to enjoy a delicious burger. Thank you very much.❤
