I. Introduction
McDonald's is a global fast-food chain that was founded in 1940. Over the years, it has
become one of the world's largest restaurant chains, serving millions of customers every day
across more than 100 countries. McDonald's success is not only due to its popular menu items
but also its efficient operations and innovative use of technology, particularly in its IT
infrastructure.
McDonald's IT infrastructure is a vital component of its global operations, supporting various

aspects of the business:
 Point of Sale (POS) Systems: Manage orders, payments, and inventory in restaurants.
 Digital Ordering: Enables online and mobile ordering for customer convenience.
 Mobile Apps: Offer loyalty programs, mobile ordering, and payment options.
 Drive-Thru Technology: Utilizes digital menu boards and analytics for faster service.
 Supply Chain Management: Tracks inventory, manages vendors, and optimizes
logistics.
 Data Analytics: Provides insights into customer behavior and operational efficiency.
 Cybersecurity: Protects customer data and IT systems from cyber threats.
The purpose of the study is to analyze, design, and implement an enhanced payroll system
designed specifically for McDonald's employees. This system aims to streamline payroll
processes, reduce errors, improve data accuracy, and enhance overall payroll management.
II. Objectives
The scope of our study for the McDonald's employee payroll system includes:
1. Analysis: Reviewing the current payroll system used by McDonald's.

2. Requirements Gathering: Understanding the needs and expectations of
stakeholders, such as HR and finance teams.
3. System Design: Creating a new payroll system tailored for McDonald's employees.
4. Implementation: Developing and deploying the new system, including data
migration and testing.
5. Automation: Incorporating automated features to calculate wages, taxes, and
deductions.
6. Compliance: Ensuring the system complies with labor laws, taxation regulations, and
company policies.
7. Security: Implementing measures to protect employee payroll data.
8. Training: Providing training for employees and administrators on using the new
payroll system effectively.
Overall, the scope covers the entire process from analysis to implementation of an
improved payroll system specifically for McDonald's employees, focusing on
efficiency, accuracy, compliance, and security.
