The world-famous Golden Arches arrived in the Philippines in 1981 when Dr. George T. Yang opened the first-ever McDonald’s restaurant in the country. The historic restaurant still stands on its original location in Morayta, Manila.
In 1992, McDonald’s brought its world-famous menu items like Big Mac and Fries closer to more Filipinos with the opening of its first stores in Visayas and Mindanao.
24 years since it first arrived in Philippine shores, McDonald's became a 100% Filipino-owned company in 2005—fulfilling its vision to become ‘Una Sa Pamilyang Pinoy’.
Today, McDonald’s has grown to become one of the country’s leading fast food chains with more than 800 stores nationwide. With President and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth S. Yang at the helm, McDonald’s is now a multibillion-Peso company, with over 70,000 employees serving Filipinos all over the Philippines.
McDonald’s strives to deliver quality service and a delightful customer experience. Our employees enjoy a dynamic working environment, support, training and opportunities to help them deliver the best possible results and advance their career.
Apart from the company's commitment to serving and delighting its customers and employees, McDonald’s is also dedicated to making a difference in the lives of Filipino children and families through its charity of choice, Ronald McDonald House Charities and its banner programs.

Shakey’s is and has always been about providing great times and great memories. When Sherwood “Shakey” Jonhson and Ed Plummer opened the first Shakey’s Pizza Parlor and Ye Public House, they had one thing in mind – opening a great place where people could get together, eat, drink and enjoy favorite ragtime standards. Shakey’s gained a huge following and the increased sales eventually allowed it to branch out into different states in the US, including Oregon in 1956, Washington and California in 1957.
In 1975, San Miguel Corporation thought of locally franchising Shakey’s to promote their draft beer. A year later, a change of ownership to Golden Pizza Incorporated took place. This first ever Shakey’s branch opened in March 15, 1975 along Makati Avenue, with its great tasting and crisp pizzas, unique chicken and mojos tandem, flowing cold draft beer, cheerful service and fun atmosphere, became an instant hit in Manila. This first store paved the way for many more and eventually made Shakey’s to be known as the Home of the Original Thin Crust Pizza, The World’s Greatest Pizza and has become a household name that it is today. To date Shakey’s has over 200 stores nationwide.
