McDonald’s creates new unit to focus on global digital app

Date:

McDonald’s Corp is bringing its digital, data analytics, marketing, restaurant development and operations segments into one unit. This is as it focuses on driving growth through its global app and new MyMcDonald’s Rewards program. The company rolled out MyMcDonald’s Rewards on July 8 as fast-food chains have raced to launch loyalty programs to spur sales, reach younger consumers and give customers more ways to order.

To lead the new unit, McDonald’s promoted Manu Steijaert to a new global chief customer officer position. Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer Chris Kempczinski. Steijaert previously ran international operated markets including European countries, Russia and Australia. According to a consumer survey from loyalty program provider Paytronix Systems Inc, nearly half of all restaurant customers use at least one loyalty program. This is particularly when ordering fast-food. The programs rake in valuable data about customers’ food orders and habits. Restaurants use to push specialized deals in the hope of getting people to eat there more often and spend more money on extra items.

Kempczinski said in an internal message that McDonald’s has more than 40 million active app users in its biggest six markets and now offers delivery in more than 30,000 restaurants. The company created the team to remove some internal barriers and silos that ultimately lead to a fragmented customer experience. The company reports second-quarter earnings results.
