A dad of seven has been called the 'king of Maccies' - as he runs four UK franchises for fast food giant McDonald's. David Hunt worked his way up the ranks of the pub trade when he left catering college, and has spent his entire career in hospitality ever since.
David has now given an illuminating insight into how the business works, the impact of Covid on the industry and what McDonald's staff can expect when they join the company. He credits the McDonald's franchising model as the key to its global expansion.
"They want to franchise restaurants and allow the local people to run them and make them successful," said David, who owns franchises in Devon - one in Bideford, two in Barnstaple and one in Tiverton, Devon Live reports. "You buy the restaurant, and you buy a 20-year franchise."
