Fast Food Book Report

Business Builders in Fast Food For my book report I chose the book Business Builders in Fast Foods by Nathan Aaseng. This book is about the growth of the fast food industry and individual fast food restaurants. The first chapter was a introduction over the food industry and the rest of the chapters were over the begining of fast food restaurants including: Harvey’s House, White Castle, Dairy Queen, McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Domino’s and their creators.
Furthermore, before the fast food industry people just had home cooked meals. Everywhere they went either that be church events or family gatherings, everything people ate was home cooked. If people were traveling the worst part of the trip would be the fact that they could not eat

McDonald’s was created by the McDonald’s brothers(hint the name), Maurice and Richard, who wanted, from the beginning, to start their own business. After four years of trying to run a movie theater, the brothers decided to start a drive-in restaurant. By 1940’s the brothers started earning $50,000 a year. Instead of being happy, the brothers grew bored. Together they came up with a new idea and remodeled their whole place into a fast food place. No more serving people in their cars, time to serve people fast and cheap. Revolutionizing the food industry

Most of these people went through several different business, before they became successful.
Next time when I pick up a book, I will try to judge it by the cover. I that the book was great. I definitely encourage others to read it. Everyone could benefit from reading it, whether they want to start their own business or not. This book teaches about self-confidence, work ethic, and
