Serving billions of hamburgers has put a shine on these arches. McDonald's is the world's #1 fast-food company by sales, with about 32,000 restaurants serving burgers and fries in about 120 countries. (There are nearly 14,000 Golden Arches locations in the US.) The popular chain is well-known for its Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, and Chicken McNuggets. Most of its outlets are free-standing units, but McDonald's also has many units located in airports and retail areas. Each eatery gets its food and packaging from approved suppliers to ensure that a Big Mac purchased in Pittsburgh tastes the same as one bought in Beijing. Nearly 80% of the restaurants are run by franchisees or affiliates.  To read the full description, subscribe now.

Competition

Competitive Landscape for McDonald's Corporation
Demographics, consumer tastes, and personal income drive demand. The profitability of individual companies can vary: while QSRs rely on efficient operations and high volume sales, FSRs rely on high-margin items and effective marketing. Large companies have advantages in purchasing, finance, and marketing. Small companies can offer superior food or service. The industry is highly labor-intensive: annual revenue per worker is between $40,000 and $45,000. Restaurants compete with companies that serve meals or prepared foods, including grocery stores, warehouse clubs, delis, and convenience stores. In addition, restaurants compete with home cooking. To read the full description, subscribe now.
