McDonald's' strategy emphasizes its competitive strengths through a "MCD" framework: relevant marketing, core menu development, and the four Ds: digital, drive-thru, delivery, and development.
With a modernized restaurant real estate footprint after $9 billion in remodeling investments, McDonald’s is well positioned to take advantage of evolving digital ordering habits.
Franchise economics could deteriorate if commodity and wage inflation continue to outpace sales growth, particularly in markets like California. This could blunt development appetite for new store growth.
