Stats to prove it
McDonald's serves 68 million customers daily at more than 43,000 restaurants across 105 countries, with some 2 million employees and a cumulative fleet of one million endpoints—ranging from drive-thru lanes and kiosks to mobile applications and kitchen systems.

Key takeaways
McDonald's uses the Tanium Autonomous IT Platform to bring operational consistency to one million endpoints. With real-time visibility and the ability to act with speed and scale, the global restaurant company keeps drive-thru, kiosk, and mobile experiences available and performant across every market. In lockstep with its brand ethos, consistency replaces fragmentation—so responders work from a single source of truth and act with confidence regardless of location.
Scaled to one million endpoints
Deployed to nearly three-quarters of a million endpoints in only a few months, without business interruption.
Faster patching
Reduced from 2 months to 48 hours, with 98% patch efficacy without remediation.
Consistent global operations
Secure operations across global markets with no business disruption.
Consistency is one of the core tenets of the McDonald's business model. It's why a Big Mac in Tulsa tastes the same as a Big Mac in Tokyo. And now with Tanium and Autonomous IT, we're adding that ethos of consistency to our endpoint security.
