McDonald’s Prepares For the Global Economic Recovery

Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

McDonald’s Corp is preparing for the global economic recovery by testing and rolling out new products, remodeling restaurants and experimenting with new technology.

The restaurant industry lost scores of costumers during the economic downturn, but McDonald’s has somehow grown and gained market share. The company’s success has been attributed to their Dollar Menu

Rising unemployment has hurt the chain, with same-store sales at its U.S. restaurants flat in October, compared to 5.3% growth during the same month last year.

The chain is working on new technology that will speed up customer service as well as focusing on menu improvements.
