According to a U.S. leadership internal message received by CNN Business, from next year, McDonald’s will raise its 14,000 U.S. dollars. Rest restaurants will stop allocating about 300d contribution per month to renters, called “Happy Meal Rent and Service Fees”.
The chain told the franchisees that the subsidy “would not grow the way it was now” and that the franchisee could increase the price of happy meals by 20 cents next year. McDonald’s does not set prices for its menu items, but instead allows franchisees to make decisions based on location.
The National Owners Association of McDonald’s franchise group said in a team message that it “does not support the removal of the Happy Meal subsidy, nor do we support it.”
“We believe that Happy Mill’s exemption is a partnership and acceptance by the company that represents each owner. [and] The operator invests in our restaurant to drive an affordable family business, the letter said.
