The wage investments only affected employees at company-owned restaurants — which represents just 10% of McDonald's US restaurants, or about 90,000 employees.
But many McDonald's franchisees likely followed suit with their own wage increases. In a survey last year, several operators said they felt pressure to raise employee pay in the aftermath of the McDonald's wage announcement.

Sales at restaurants open at least a year jumped 6.2% globally, including a 5.4% increase in the US, in the most recent quarter.
That's the third straight quarter of increases after two years of declines.
The company has finally turned business around by making a couple key changes to the menu, such as adding breakfast all day and offering new value options.
But there's another move that has been critical to McDonald's success: improving customer service through wage increases and training.
The fast-food chain has long been plagued by complaints about poor customer service.

They made major improvements, gave a raise to some(hopefully many!) and added much needed training to boost moral and customer service. That's excellent.....that's called good business. They were in the toilet and fought back. Citing this and using this headline is horseshit op ed spin..... "McDonald’s CEO Admits Obama’s Economy and Higher Wages Is A Rousing Success"
