Certainly noticeable in the UK, the variance between one BK and another can be huge where McD's is so consistent it's hard to tell who owns which.
McD's are masters at standardising 'generally acceptable in a pinch' food.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoI thought UK McDo were a single company and not franchisees?
- SuperGent 10y agoMost of the UK stores are owned by the parent company. There are a few franchisee stores though.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoIs there a way to tell them apart?
- blibble 10y agoyour receipt will show you who you paid VAT to my local is a franchise and it shows the name of the local franchise owner
- DanBC 10y agoMore than half UK stores are franchised. http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/whatmakesmcdonalds/questions/work-with-us/franchised-restaurants/how-many-restaurants-are-run-by-franchisees-how-many-company-owned-mcdonalds-are-there.html http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/whatmakesmcdonalds/questio... > There are 1,200 McDonald's restaurants in the UK. 65% of which are franchised and 35% company-owned. We take great care in selecting our franchisees and once they're with us, we invest heavily in a comprehensive training programme and providing ongoing support for them. > We actively encourage our franchisees to expand their business and this is evident in the fact that, on average, a McDonald's franchisee owns five restaurants. Our franchisees commit to operating their restaurants for 20 years so they're also often heavily involved in their local communities – for instance, being involved with local business groups, local environmental initiatives or supporting local grassroots football.
