In some circumstances, the commission will increase from 4% to 5% for those starting brand-new eateries or acquiring existing eateries from the corporation. The hike won't affect current franchise owners.

All McDonald's restaurants have a franchise in about 95% of them. Franchisee payments made up around 60% of the business's revenue in the most recent quarter, making this the source of income with the highest volume.

The company's market capitalization increased by 3.6% to $197.66 billion since the year's beginning, while the S&P 500 index grew by around 13% during the same period.
