Understanding Total Systemwide Restaurants

Does McDonald’s restaurant count include franchises?

Yes. Systemwide restaurants include both franchised and company-operated locations around the world. It is the full McDonald’s footprint, not only the restaurants the company runs directly.

Issuer definition

How do I calculate net restaurant additions?

Subtract the previous period’s systemwide total from the current total. This captures the net effect of openings and closures. Same-store sales answer a different question: how existing restaurants are performing.
