The origin and development history of American fast food

"Western-style fast food" originated in the United States, and the modern fast food industry has developed rapidly since the 1950s, becoming popular all over the world.

Since 1902, some people in the United States have used the concept of industrialized production line to manage restaurants, and established standards and strict management of food production, but the scale is not large. At the beginning, it was recognized as McDonald's that really promoted the rapid development of fast food industry.

After World War II, great changes have taken place in American living habits.

American culture is increasingly advocating speed and efficiency. Fewer people spend two or three hours eating lunch, and the form and content of lunch are becoming simpler and simpler. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, automobiles began to enter American middle-class families, and the population mobility increased greatly. Many people began to live in the suburbs. Under the impact of this series of changes, traditional catering has not met people's needs. It was during this period that McDonald's rose and became the first successful representative of this new fast food model, which led to a large number of other brands. They specialize in a certain kind of food, pay attention to speed and convenience, and form an obvious competitive advantage with lower labor and raw material costs.

I can't speak English, hehe, I'm sorry, but I'd better translate it myself.
