  • Drive-thru times have also improved across most major markets averaging 15 to 20 seconds of improvement. Across the company's big five IOM markets: Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the UK, about 70% of restaurants offer drive-thru. And this safe and convenient service channel has been particularly appealing to customers during the pandemic. McDonald's has seen a significant increase in drive-thru sales in these markets during COVID.
  • McDonald's amassed a sizable marketing war chest to invest in the back half of 2020. During Q2 most major markets significantly reduced their marketing spend and value activities. As an example in the U.S., marketing spend was down 70%, as the company chose to conserve resources until the situation stabilized. These funds will now be reinvested in Q3 and Q4. Additionally, as previously announced, McDonald's will also invest an incremental $200 million in marketing spend across U.S. and International Operated Markets in the second half to accelerate recovery, roughly equivalent to one additional month of media in every owned market. Together, these actions will result in a sizeable increase in marketing spend for the balance of the year.
  • McDonald's entered the quarter with about 75% of restaurants open.
    While in June, McDonald's recovered nearly 90% of 2019 sales. Performance across the markets is varied and uneven, depending on external factors such as government restrictions, and consumer sentiment giving concerns of resurgence. For as long as the virus is present, this is the likely operating environment, especially as the company also considers government assistance to consumers rolling-off in many markets and general economic uncertainty, and well-positioned to navigate through at all.

    McDonald's 2019 Financial Performance

    In 2019, global comparable sales increased 5.9% and global comparable guest counts increased 1.0%, reflecting the continued execution against the Velocity Growth Plan.

    • Comparable sales in the U.S. increased 5.0% and comparable guest counts decreased 1.9%.

    • Comparable sales in the International Operated segment increased 6.1% and comparable guest counts increased 3.5%, reflecting positive results across all markets, primarily driven by the U.K. and France.
    • Comparable sales in the International Developmental Licensed segment increased 7.2% and comparable guest counts increased 2.2%, reflecting positive sales performance across all geographic regions.

     

    McDonald's Strategic Direction

    The Velocity Growth Plan, the Company’s customer-centric strategy, is rooted in extensive customer research and insights, along with a deep understanding of the key drivers of the business. The Plan is designed to drive sustainable comparable sales and guest count growth, reliable long-term measures of the Company's strength that are vital to growing shareholder value. In 2019, execution of the Plan drove further broad-based growth around the globe.

    In 2020, the Company will continue to focus on elevating the customer experience through improved restaurant execution and creating excitement around our food and value offerings, while continuing to leverage technology to
    enable greater convenience and customer personalization.


    The Company continues to target the opportunity at the core of its business - its food, value and customer experience. The strategy is built on the following three pillars, all focusing on building a better McDonald’s:

    • Retaining existing customers - focusing on areas where it already has a strong foothold in the IEO category, including family occasions and food-led breakfast.
    • Regaining customers who visit less often - recommitting to areas of historic strength, namely food taste and quality, convenience and speed, experience and value.
    • Converting casual to committed customers - building stronger relationships with customers so they visit more often, by elevating and leveraging the McCafé coffee brand and enhancing snack and treat offerings.

    The Company continues to scale and optimize the Plan through the following growth accelerators:

    • Experience of the Future. The Company is building upon its investments in EOTF, focusing on restaurant modernization in order to transform the restaurant service experience and enhance our brand in the eyes of our customers. In 2020, the Company will further deploy EOTF around the globe, including converting about 1,800 of the remaining restaurants in the U.S. to EOTF.
    • Digital. The Company is improving its existing service model with customers through technology. Digital technology is transforming the retail industry, and the Company is using it to transform McDonald’s for our customers at an accelerated pace. In 2019, the Company built on its digital foundation, acquiring Dynamic Yield, a leader in personalization and decision logic technology. The Company has implemented this technology via outdoor digital menu boards in over 11,000 U.S. drivethrus, offering customers a more customized experience and producing sales growth through higher average check.
    • Delivery. The Company continues to build momentum with its delivery platform as a way of expanding the convenience for its customers. In 2019, McDonald’s continued to add third-party delivery partners in order to maximize the System’s delivery scale and potential.
