Serving up greater efficiency and visibility

The journey of a burger and fries—from source to destination to a hungry customer at one of 40,000 local McDonald’s restaurants in 100 countries—is a complex one. Ingredients travel across an extraordinary network of touchpoints, many with different temperature requirements and shelf lives. Serving food hotter, faster, and more conveniently requires a modern supply chain that is built for efficiency and powers visibility. 



The consistency of McDonald’s is legendary, with approximately 95% of restaurants owned and operated by local business owners. Customer satisfaction and loyalty are why Golden State Foods and McDonald’s take their partnership—and their efforts in digitizing and automating their supply chains—so seriously.
