McDonald’s Mission and Values

Feel-good moments for everyone. Anytime, anywhere.

McDonald’s has been part of everyday life in Austria for decades. Today, we operate more than 210 restaurants and employ over 9,600 people from around 92 nations. More than 90 percent of our restaurants are run by around 50 franchisees – many of them as regional family businesses. As Austria’s largest quick-service restaurant partner to the local agricultural sector, we already source around 70 percent of our ingredients from Austria.
