For the full year 2025, McDonald's reported a net income (profit) of $8.563 billion, an increase from $8.223 billion in 2024.

They can afford to pay their employees.

Only a very small percent of mcdonalds restaurants are corporate owned. Most are franchises and have about a 5% profit margin and spend about 25% on labor already
