Why it matters
The initiative aims to modernize restaurants by adding more technology and operational efficiencies. The company is also launching a major training effort to improve quality and hospitality, targeting over 2 million workers worldwide. These changes are intended to help the company win back market share in chicken and beverages.
The announcement follows slower sales growth in the U.S. and international markets, amid persistent inflation and fierce competition in the fast-food sector.
