About the Company

McDonald's

Runs and franchises fast-food restaurants

McDonald's runs and franchises quick-service restaurants for customers seeking burgers, chicken, fries, breakfast food and coffee. Its menu includes the Big Mac and Chicken McNuggets, while customers order at counters, drive-throughs, self-service kiosks and through its mobile app. Independent operators run most locations under agreements that license the brand and restaurant system. The corporation earns money from its own restaurant sales and from franchise royalties, rent and initial fees, with conventional franchise sites supported by property it owns or leases. The modern business dates to Ray Kroc's McDonald's System in 1955 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
