85億ドルのNEXT計画:効率改善 vs 利益侵食の懸念 マクドナルドは2036年までに最大85億ドルを投じ、フランチャイジーの近代化を支援する。2030年までにレストラン効率250ベーシスポイント改善と営業利益率50%台前半から中盤を目指す。投資家は初期費用が利益を侵食すると懸念し、売りが広がった。
MCD · Pricing · Negative McDonald's says its value leadership is under strain: the Every Day Affordable Price offering fell short with only 60-65% of the U.S. system executing the under-$3 architecture, reduced digital promos and removal of Buy One, Add One weakened traffic, and U.S. comps were slightly negative in July.
QSR · Competition · Neutral Burger King is cited as a continued competitive pressure on McDonald's by competing on affordable bundles and promotions, but no company-specific development is reported.
WEN · Competition · Neutral Wendy's is mentioned only as a rival relying on value-focused deals, digital promotions and meal bundles pressuring McDonald's, with no news of its own.

マクドナルドは2036年までに85億ドルを投じ、店舗の近代化を進める。その一環として、Archyと呼ばれる新しいAIドライブスルー注文システムを導入する。Archyは、マクドナルドが2023年からGoogleと共同で開発を進めてきたArchIQと呼ばれるより大きなシステムの一部であり、2027年には米国で本格的に展開される見通しだ。同社によると、Archyはすでに英語とスペイン語で実際のドライブスルー注文を受け付けており、90%以上の確率で正確に処理できているという。これに先立ち、IBMと進めていたドライブスルーの実験「Automated Order Taker」は、100店舗以上でのテストを経て2024年に終了した。今回の投資は「McDonald's > NEXT」と呼ばれるより広範な戦略の一環であり、クリス・ケンプチンスキー最高経営責任者は、インフレとほぼ横ばいの来店客数が今後も続くと見込んでいると述べている。この戦略が発表された後、マクドナルドの株価は午後の取引で約6%下落した。
