 COMPARISON
MC DONALD’S
A McDonald's restaurant sells an average of
1.62 million euros a year in Romania, twice
the global average, according to ZF
calculations.
McDonald's restaurants are found in
120 countries and territories around the
world and serve 68 million customers
each day. McDonald's operates
37,855 restaurants worldwide,
employing more than 210,000 people as
of the end of 2018.
KFC
The situation is similar in the case of KFC,
with a restaurant in this chain gaining 1.1
million euros in Romania, almost double
the world average of 600,000 euros.
Today, we still follow his formula for
success, with real cooks breading and
freshly preparing our delicious chicken
by hand in more than
23,000 restaurants in over 135
countries and territories around the
world.
