The fast-food giant said during the company’s Investor Day presentation Sept. 23 that it is launching the McDonald’s Media Network, a new advertising business that will allow other companies to place ads across McDonald’s digital platforms and restaurant screens.

McDonald’s began testing the idea in August 2026 at 450 company-owned U.S. restaurants, the chain said during the presentation. This does not include franchisees which are independently owned and operated.

The pilot features advertising from other companies on digital drive-thru menu boards after customers place their orders.

Between this, dynamic pricing, and the god awful food and service, there is no reason to keep eating this trash.

    Home cooked meals are still the best. I agree with food from restaurants declining after 2020. Restaurants must have been hit pretty hard trying to maintain prices with grocery prices constantly changing. I’m gonna have to come over to try your steak one day lol

      hah you’re welcome to come over. I’ll eventually get around to making cooking videos like everyone but my focus is to make things restaurant quality but at home. I swear some steaks didn’t make it to even taking pictures. I might actually apply for the open positions guga has since he’s nearby me. I’ve got some recipes and techniques he hasn’t explored yet.
