The number of McDonald's restaurants continues to increase every year. The American company only had 33,510 restaurants in 2011.
The number then continued to rise by approximately 0.7%-2.9% annually. Within a decade, the fast-food restaurant chain managed to grow by 17%. McDonald's has also expanded to 119 countries.
In 2020, McDonald's had 39,198 restaurants. Of these, 36,521 restaurants, or 93%, were franchises.
However, the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic also hit McDonald's business. 643 restaurants closed in 2020, more than the 391 restaurants that closed in 2019.
McDonald's is currently in the spotlight in Indonesia after releasing the BTS Meal. This menu is a collaboration between McDonald's and the South Korean band, BTS. One package contains nine McNuggets, two special sauces, medium fries, and a medium-sized drink.
This menu has become highly sought after by many consumers, causing crowds that risk increasing the rate of corona transmission. Therefore, McDonald's Indonesia implemented an open and close order system for the BTS Meal.
