As a global restaurant chain, Mcdonalds' has always stood out and had an advantage over its rivals. Their advantage is that they have been around the longest, built a name for themselves, and provided people with tasty fast food at extraordinarily low prices. Aside from their services they are the world's largest fast-food chain. It is also no surprise that the food and beverages provided by McDonald's are unhealthy and provide no health benefits to its consumers.
Regardless of inflation or any other economic impact, Mcdonalds' seems to thrive with business. This is because of their cheap food and ability to provide their services even when low on employees and undertrained staff. The fact that their food is “the best” for children and many of the locations twenty-four hours they are still open when the bars close seems to be a win for the company.
McDonald's managed to open over 31,000 restaurants worldwide and even in economic stress and collapse, because of their prices they still serve more than 60 million customers a day throwing out the 120 countries they are located in. From my point of view, it looks like McDonald's affects economics more than economics affects Mcdonalds'.
