We do this when we have family reunions. The Sunday before everyone leaves we do a pick up of like 30 sausage biscuits and hash browns. It’s a small town so the crew goes into panic mode lol
We once had an order for 93 steak biscuits because there was a glitch that made them free on Doordash. Safe to say that it was the craziest lineup I've ever seen.
@@idkidk4334 well I mean I would guess DoorDash still pays McDonald’s otherwise McDonald’s wouldn’t accept the order. It was probably some discount bug but when you get a discount in DoorDash I do believe that the restaurant gets payed the same by door dash it’s just that you pay less. It wouldn’t makes sense for the restaurant to get payed less for a deal doordash has on their food.
When I worked mcds back in the day at age 16 I never cried about big orders. Actually I was always pumped to try to get them out in record time. 27 years later and still awesome to see.
I remember many moons ago when I worked at McDonald's and they had a sale on Big Macs for 99 cents. I was working back cash when a guy ordered 12 of them. I loved it when I heard the panic on the other side when they hollered "I GOT TWELVE MACS ON ONE ORDER!!!!" Good times.
I’ve had a massive order some years back, 50 hamburgers, 50 cheeseburgers and 50 mayo chickens. They ordered at the drive thru and didn’t ring. My store manager gave them some words of advice, Next time please call the store and let us prepare not just turn up at a drive thru window. This is in UK.
Pro tip: if you want to make sure that your Big Breakfast is super fresh, buy 21 of them. There will be a good number of them that came off the griddle about two minutes before you get them. :D
actually once i herd of a school bus where driver said he needed to stop for a leak teachers said it was fine he stopped by a shop with a maccas outside and he returned and bus wouldnt restart so he desided to shout all the kids happy meals. perants were all like "sure if hes paying" i wish i was on that bus
@@southaussiegarbo2054 I was working one Saturday morning (about 10:30ish) and an order of 20 cheeseburgers came through (at the drive through of all things). I reckon the junior football (soccer for the Americans) team must of won their match👍.
PTSD flashbacks when I worked night shift at McDonalds. Every Saturday we had the same intoxicated regulars who would order 12 Pounders. For the casuals that's a Quarter pounder with four patties which results in 48 patties I would have to cook up by myself. After 9pm it was just my manager working the till and myself running the kitchen. Gee wizz I need me some therapy right now.
Courtesy rarely exists in our society these days. If I was that drunk, I would have phoned my order in at least an hour prior...I'm usually against the craziness of tipping....but in a large McD order, a large tipping should be in order.
@@daveb2280 Alcohol makes people insufferable. When I worked days people would always call in ahead of time. We once had the courtesy of a lady calling in three hours early to prepare us for 35 cheese burgers. During the night shift it was a totally different story. So many drunk and crackhead customers would order the most ridiculous shit in the drivethru with no warning what so ever and then would become agitated when they didn't get the food immediately. I certainly don't miss working in the food service industry.
It’s moments like this 0:24 that make you really appreciate the extra step some service workers put into their job. Just picking up the little piece of the egg wasn’t necessary, but he did it. Keep it up man!!
As much as these type of orders slow the process down, I always love doing them to see how fast and efficiently I can go through then while keeping them to a high standard.
Hey Steven! This would have been the perfect opportunity to show us how you scramble eggs for the big breakfast. It's obvious they aren't pre-made like the folded eggs. So I'll patiently wait for that video. The fast food business is in my blood and I love watching the innovative tools McD's has developed. Fascinating😃😃!
They place egg in a rectangle on the grill move it around and make it into a rectangle then scoop it up put it on the container then cut it into the pieces
For some reason this vid and the subway POV guy popped up in my feed I'm glad it did, shows how much effort there is in this type of job and makes me appreciate it a lot.
You work so hard I'm sharing your videos because so many people love McDonald's and you are a great manager and other McDonald's can take a page out your book. Plus it helps the new workers in their training. Love it👍🏽 keep the videos coming I'm addicted to them... 🥰
Hey Stephen, have you considered making a video explaining all of the different sounds that all of the machine's throughout the kitchen make and what it means when it beeps or plays a jingle a certain way? The one I've been intrigued with the most is the one that sounds like a cowbell going "ta ta ta-ta" from time to time. Also, a video demonstrating what it takes for a store to transition from breakfast to lunch/dinner at 10:30-11 am would be nice to see too! Thanks for always making great content.
there are so many sounds for different things in the kitchen, orders, grills, fryers, UHC's and Hella more? i have been working at a mc Donald's for 2 years now and you tend to now what sound is for what machine!
The brownish tiled floor. All that hardware metal desk tops and shelves. The perpetual sounds of kitchen appliances and people going about their day. I have never worked at McDonald's before. But I have worked around a fast good kitchen before. I'm getting small flashbacks to my old job just from watching this video. I would not call it nostalgia. Only days gone by long ago.
Take it up with McDonalds. It’s on the menu, then someone has every right to order it in the drive thru. They aren’t obligated to order a certain way because of how you feel.
I can see where you favor consistency over speed. Probably tempting to blast through repetitive actions quickly but you ensured a consistent order despite the size.
Some Dennys location have a breakfast plate called the “Super Slam” it’s $6.99 in some locations. I order for curbside pickup pretty often and it’s better than the McDonald’s one.
I still remember as a little kid getting two sausage patties instead of one with my Big Breakfast and feeling like I won the lottery. Now I understand how it happened, LOL.
I rarely had bulk orders of more than around 25 or so burgers in a single order but I remember having the 4-5 hour long "rushes" of 8+ orders on the screen constantly, was actually kind of fun working those shifts bc i was 15-16 and made burgers fast af and the time passed quickly
This reminds me of the one I worked at a while back. To be fair to the customer, they had the foresight to place/pay for the order, and then we'd actually make it closer to when they'd come back for it. It was, and I remember this like yesterday: 50 Hamburgers, 50 Cheeseburgers, and 25 McChickens. That was one hell of a day.
I imagine this BEAST of an order had to be made at least 1 day or 12hrs in advance; because in order to make 21 full on breakfasts (with their respective side of gravy and hasbrown... and don't get me started on the drinks, since not everyone was having OJ, some might have had coffee) takes a lot of work from everyone in the kitchen. Videos like these make people understand the hard work and energy these guys put on every single day; on every single order.
People in the fast food industry are under appreciated often, and the ones that do care about the handling of our food rarely are thanked. So thank you to all of you. 👍🏼✌🏼🇺🇸
Back when they had a special selling Big Macs for fifty cents a few decades ago, my dad ordered 500 in the drive thru. The kid in the window disappeared to talk with the manager, and when he came back, he said, "Uh, you'll have to pull up and park for a little while."
I worked at a Mcdonald’s for one day (not a good fit apparently lol) and watching these videos bring me back to that one day. It’s interesting to watch the process.
Pretty wild to see the changes since I was on the grill in 1985-86 . I found McDonalds to be a great first official job. It was well organized and structured , we even had a softball team. I went on to work in high end restaurants but the QC at McDonalds, at least where I worked, was higher than them all. Obviously that is up to management but the standards are there for sure. We used whole eggs even for the scrambled back then. But we'd crack up a big batch and pre scramble them. You went home with egg yolk all over your shoes . I can still crack eggs with both hands at once . One thing we did that I'm guessing is no longer done is refer to ice cream sundaes as "male" or " female" depending on wether they had nuts or not . Times change!
C'mon, i know u are gonna have so much friends soon☺️ I had no friends all my life and now im around lovely people, hope the same happens to u ps, i love ur username
Well doing my teens years I had real good friends only 5 but it was quality over quantity at that time we did everything together and always had a blast. Unfortunately 4 passed away due to health conditions.Like Heart attack. And Car accidents and suicide..So I only have 1 now.But since the tragic incidents we never talk anymore. We both kinda just faded away from one another
@@pleasebekindtwnty4sven damn. Keep trying though. Sometimes you just gotta reboot your life. Not a great road getting to that point, but when things just crush you left and right and there's no way or are impossibly hard to fix them, it's really refreshing to just drop all that shit off your shoulders and tackle the world with new unweighted energy
@@Dctctx True. I'm sure calling ahead just lets the manager be able to confirm that they have enough stock. The workers are still going to work the line the same, except they get the efficiency of scale in doing the same order over and over and over.
i'm in California and have never seen this! reminds me of how MCD's has different flavors all over the world. was a vegetarian and still love vegetarian food so i'd love to have the Indian MCD's. ugh so not fair that you can't get certain things
Hello from India, we have some very cheap veg options which suit the Indian taste so maybe a bit spicy for you but anyways you are always welcome to try!
@@farhatraees620 I LOVE spicy!! Being from California, I'm fortunate that we have so much different types of authentic food here! Love Indian food!! It's especially good for meal prepping
@@erikal1593 its great then! Come over not just McDonalds but we have Indian versions of all chains like Burger king, KFC etc. you are gonna love authentic Indian food too!
This is literally our family when our uncles promise to make a big breakfast but get too drunk the night before and are too hungover to wake up and do anything, so me and the aunties go out and pickup takeout breakfast for all the cousins and family🙄
Lots of sheer inefficiency displayed there fr .. I did like how you all came together and hammered that one out tho,that was slick... Tighten that ship up and get them times down doing so...
Reminds me of my days working in college near a major university at McDonalds and bus loads would come in at once. At least they all ordered the same thing. Show a school bus of band students
I enjoy your videos and deeply wish you were my local McDonalds. I have one in walking distance, but they ALWAYS "forget" to give me lettuce and tomato when I order deluxe. When I specifically ask, they roll their eyes and go get it. Thanks for showing what it's like to work at McD's!
I went on this bus trip out of town and they ordered 50 breakfast sausage biscuits and hash browns when they were $1.50 and McDonald's fixed them so fast. This was 2015.
Oh wow! That's amazing.... I work in Starbuck and had served 20 breakfast set that comprises of different kind of food that needs heating and different kind of customized drinks for a group of office workers of a company who's boss decided to treat his workers! There's only two of us in the opening shift at 0800hrs!!! Crazy day of our life!!!
Man, this brings back memories 😣 I remember the good ole 29 cent, 39 cent cheeseburger days. I have not worked there in many years. I know I can still make that food right 😂
At my McDonald’s in Altantic Canada. Big orders for breakfast are common. Some business will call it in the day before. I’ve sent out 60 Egg Muffins 60 hashrowns, and we also sell variety of baked muffins.
