How has the number of McDonald's customers and restaurants in Ukraine grown?
FDI McDonald's Ukraine Ltd. invested 4.84 billion hryvnias in the chain in 2022-2025, Interfax-Ukraine writes.
In 2025, the company opened 12 new restaurants and renovated five existing ones. The chain first appeared in the Transcarpathian region – in Uzhhorod and Mukachevo, as well as in Hatne in the Kyiv region and in Lypyny near Lutsk.
The number of customers increased by 17% in 2025. The network's customer satisfaction level increased to 98.3% in 2025 compared to 96.7% in 2024.
A separate direction of development has become the digitalization of services:
- Throughout the year, the company improved its mobile application and continued to implement self-service terminals in all establishments.
- Currently, 85% of restaurant orders are placed through self-service terminals.
- The new “Mobile Order” function has provided over 100 thousand orders in the first two months of operation.
McDonald's plans to further expand its network and strengthen its presence in the regions of Ukraine in 2026. Earlier this year, the company opened two new restaurants – in Irpen and Kyiv.
By the way, now the Internet is laughing at the McDonald's director who filmed a burger tasting, writes NYP.
First, a video of Chris Kempczynski tasting a burger very carefully appeared on the Internet. He was a bit over the top with caution, because this was the subject of ridicule. The fact is that users noticed that he seemed to have a hard time presenting his own company's products.
Mmm, this is delicious, this is a big piece for Big Arch,
– Kempczynski says in the video, but the video sequence shows slightly different emotions.
In response to Kempczinski's video, McDonald's competitor also shot its own video, but in it, the Burger King CEO confidently tastes their products, so this also became the “cherry on top” of users' ridicule.
