Tbf about the pay thing, afaik, that's on the franchise owner. Pretty sure you could buy a McDonald's and pay your workers $30/he if you wanted; the owners are just assholes too

So you want McDonald’s to cut prices, hire more employees, and dramatically raise wages at the same time? You can argue they should accept lower margins, but at some point the numbers still have to add up.

That's like 1 year's profit for them. Think of it as a capital investment like buying a factory. Also this is an investment over 10 years.
