McDonald’s Corporation is the world’s largest restaurant brand, generating nearly $139 billion in systemwide sales through more than 45,000 locations across over 100 markets. The quick-service restaurant leader built its reputation on speed, consistency, and affordable hamburgers, and its menu now includes burgers, chicken, breakfast items, and beverages that have helped spread American fast-food culture globally. Most of McDonald’s revenue comes from franchise royalties and rent, which account for about 62%, while the rest is generated by company-operated restaurants. Its business is organized into three segments: the United States, representing 39% of systemwide sales, international operated markets at 35%, and international developmental licensed markets at 26%.
