\r\nValue in Our DNA

Value in Our DNA

Value has been synonymous with McDonald's for more than 70 years, and it will continue to be part of our DNA for years to come. In markets including Germany, Spain and Poland, the flexibility of their value programs, like the McSmart menu, allowed them to quickly make adjustments that were embraced by consumers. In the U.S., we recently launched the $5 Meal Deal, and a steady stream of offers in local markets and on the McDonald's mobile app. We continue to identify opportunities to deliver value, grounded in insights and with the customer at the center.

Commitment to Core

We continue to lean into the power of our core menu, with significant opportunity for growth in chicken. By featuring our beloved icons like McNuggets and McChicken while driving growth in emerging favorites like McCrispy and McSpicy, our chicken sales are now on par with beef sales. The McCrispy chicken sandwich is now offered in more than 55 markets around the globe and through our plans to further expand our McCrispy equity, we will continue to capture chicken market share.

Engaging Digital Experiences

With 166 million active 90-day users, we know that engaged loyalty customers spend more and visit more often. We're driving digital market share gains, with markets finding unique opportunities to engage loyalty users. In Canada, the Frequent Fryer Program launched a nationwide scavenger hunt for fry icons, which could then be entered on the mobile app for free loyalty points or free fries. Nearly 3.5 million codes were entered through the promotion, driving meaningful lifts to the fry category.
