Global quick-service restaurants

02

Competitive advantages

The report identifies durable advantages in habit, scale, and restaurant locations.

Brand habit and scale

Consistent customer expectations support demand; a large restaurant network spreads procurement, marketing, and digital investment costs.

Restaurant locations

Control of important locations supports recurring property income and the operation of the franchise network.

Scale and habit provide a durable base, but menus, value, and digital customer relationships must keep adapting.
