This reflects changing consumer behaviors influenced by inflation concerns. The company’s performance mirrors a broader trend in the fast-food industry, with competitors like McDonald’s grappling with similar challenges.
Inflation-weary consumers, particularly in the United States, prioritize value-oriented meal options, prompting fast-food chains to intensify promotions and revamp store experiences.
