Marc Porcar, CEO of QR Code Generator, said: “Exploring which McDonald's in the UK is the highest-rated and lowest-rated can be interesting as it can provide a snapshot of customer satisfaction.
“McDonald's is known for its standardised operations, yet there can be variability in how well these standards are implemented. Seeing which outlets are highest or lowest-rated can highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the company's efforts to maintain consistency across all its locations.
“The ratings might reveal differences in consumer expectations or experiences across various regions. For example, a McDonald's in a tourist-heavy area might have different standards or challenges than one in a rural town. This can lead to discussions on how location impacts service quality.”
