Simple, Logical, Repeatable

Systemise Like McDonald's to Scale, Sell or Franchise Your Growing Business

By: Marianne Page

Narrated by: Marianne Page

The McDonald's recipe works, and it will work for you.

Simple, Logical, Repeatable is your blueprint for modelling McDonald's to achieve the success, and freedom, you're looking for. It introduces you to The McFreedom System® that draws on the four foundation systems underpinning the enduring success of McDonald's - the reason they have become so consistent, reliable and trusted in the global marketplace.

• Planning - clarity around your destination and your route map to get you there.
• Process - simplicity of your customer's journey through your business.
• People - effective hiring and training so people know 'how we do things round here' to deliver consistently high standards.
• Performance - ability to measure and manage performance to keep everyone on track.

The McDonald's formula is simple - develop systems to run every aspect of your business, develop a high performing team to run your systems, and then get out of their way. Mastering these foundations will give you the freedom to scale, grow, sell or franchise your business... or run it from a beach somewhere, if that's what you want to do.

Very theoretical- no real examples

not really learning much for my day to day business.
I guess I expected to see some real world examples on how any system is implemented at McDonalds or anywhere.
instead I get a decent book about theory behind systems.

good book

I liked listening to this book. I would recommend it. It's to the point. I will listen again

General process, not successful franchising

A more appropriate title would be “Structure and ideas on how to run an efficient business.” I didn’t find any nuggets on franchising, growing, scaling, or selling. Lots of systemizing, and that content was well structured.

meh

came here for a concrete plan for implementing emyth concepts; ended up with too much other stuff self-help, goal setting etc. Also had to skip several sections because it was simply annoying hearing the pitches for their system, other products and consulting services they offer.

Overall I just did not connect properly with this book. Came here looking for good ways to set up processes etc. but the author does not believe in operation manuals and claims that instead of setting up how to's for employees we should ignore the details because they can simply Google the how-tos. I mean, what? had to give up half way through as I wasn't getting anything out of it and the chapters are not given a title so did not know where I could skip to. perhaps the last chapter included something I would like to learn.. guess I'll never know.

sidenote: I like to listen to audio books at 2-3x normal speed, the narration in this one is not suited well for that.
