McDonald's Corporation

McDonald's Corporation is a Chicago-based US quick-service restaurant company whose shares trade on the NYSE under the ticker MCD. The company's restaurants operate in many countries around the world.

The great majority of McDonald's restaurants are run by independent operators under the franchise system. For this reason, rent and sales-based royalty payments collected from franchisees hold a decisive place in the company's income, while sales from restaurants the company operates itself make up a smaller share. Operations are reported in three groups: the US, international company-operated markets and developmental markets managed under a license model. The menu, the digital ordering app and the loyalty program are the main tools of the customer relationship.
