Introduction
The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California. Their introduction of the "Speedy Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant. The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedy." Speedy was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald in 1963
The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc in 1954. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion and the company became listed on the public stock markets in 1965. Today McDonalds is one of the largest fast food chain restaurants with 31,000 local restaurants serving 58 million people in 118 countries in the world.

Weaknesses
W1-Saturated food industry - as a result of this McDonalds has to deal with the prospect of looming market saturation, which could make it difficult to add new outlets for the market.
W2-Perceived lower food standards due to fast food model.-People getting more aware lower standards of fast-food and trying to eat restaurants or preparing more healthiest foods.
W3- People are generally tired of the same brands that they had been using over the years, so when they do not see the expected innovation they migrate to new brands. Moreover people see McDonalds every where and this over exposure might also be a reason for abstinence. Moreover maintaining the standards of such a huge chain becomes feasible and when there is lack of quality service in one store it effects the whole brand.
Opportunities
O1- International expansion- McDonald seeks to expand its business across the world. Average restaurants number are 500 for the year.
O2- Economic downturn may force people to opt for less expensive "fast food", rather then restaurant quality.
O3- Entry into the breakfast category- It is new product that McDonald offers for customers to earn profit.
Threats
T1-Nutritional issues. People are becoming more aware of the quality of the food they eat, and more people are looking for "organic", natural and vegetarian alternatives.
T2- Increasing competition There is also an increasing competition driven by too many competitors, which reduces the company’s ability to increase revenue. Nevertheless, the swift of the company’s focus from a value menu to a more diverse one has recently limited the negative effect of the intense price competition that was traditionally taking place among the industry leaders.
T3. Fast food menu links with obesity- People deviates to buy fast foods because of obesity fear.
Customers associate fast food with obesity they think fatten problem.
All of those problems are the main obstacle of McDonalds to solve. McDonald administration bears in mind those problems and created strategy for 2010 to pass over those problems and solve this hindrances.
