Domino’s Pizza (DPZ) knowledge of its potential growth in the market has led to it having hired more than 1000 new staff in Chicago’s 100 stores.

MCD balance sheet seems to be faring better than that of most as its income is still more than its interest expenses, administrative costs, and capital expenditures.
Drive-thru windows have always been a quick way of getting meals at fast food chains but this year they played a far more important role due to social restrictions and dine in options being closed. For McDonald’s personally, its drive thru window amounted for nearly 90 per cent of its sales in the second quarter and has helped in pushing its stock up by 8 per cent since the start of this year. Other than that, McDonald’s also filed for a $1 billion borrowing with banks which will help it in securing its financial position if the pandemic turns for the worst.
