Not really, it's just simple economies of scale. Large chains have a natural advantage in the restaurant business just like they have a natural advantage in any other field. A small restaurant simply cannot have as high a margin as McDonalds because they don't have the same bargaining power with their suppliers - they need to pay more for everything.
