"Billions served," indeed. McDonald's is the world's #1 fast-food company by sales, with more than 31,000 restaurants serving burgers and fries in almost 120 countries. (Nearly 14,000 Golden Arches locations are in the US.) The popular chain is well-known for its Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, and Chicken McNuggets. Most of its outlets are free-standing units, but McDonald's also has many quick-service kiosk units located in airports and retail areas. Each unit gets its food and packaging from approved suppliers and uses standardized procedures to ensure that a Big Mac purchased in Pittsburgh tastes the same as one bought in Beijing. More than 75% of its restaurants are run by franchisees or affiliates.
