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.

    Cooked to order at my spot. It’s a great meal for $14 and despite the screeching here it’s actually much less expensive than pretty much everywhere.

      Yeah, it’s not at all bad food IMO. Burger King by comparison is shit, where I live. I actually like the fries at McDonald’s nowadays, since they started cooking to order.
