McDonald's Business Model
What Does McDonald's offer?
The Company operates and franchises McDonald’s restaurants, which serve a locally-relevant menu of quality food and beverages in more than 100 countries. McDonald’s franchised restaurants are owned and operated under one of the following structures - conventional franchise, developmental license, or affiliate.The Company is primarily a franchisor, and on 31st December 2018 approximately 93% of McDonald's restaurants were owned and operated by independent franchisees. Franchising enables an individual to be his or her own employer and maintain control over all employment related matters, marketing, and pricing decisions, while also benefiting from the strength of McDonald’s global brand, operating system and financial resources.
