Coffee or burgers? While McDonald’s and Starbucks both rank among the world’s most recognizable food and beverage brands, their business models and growth strategies take very different paths.
McDonald’s focuses on speed, value, and consistency, serving over 60 million people daily in more than 100 countries. Its strength lies in operational efficiency, a powerful franchise model, and decades of experience scaling globally. Starbucks, on the other hand, is all about experience, community, and brand lifestyle. It’s the world’s leading coffee chain, known for its premium feel, customer loyalty, and strong presence in urban areas.
