A Foolish Take: The Most Productive Fast-Food Chains in America
The American fast-food industry may seem vulnerable to healthier eating habits and lower grocery prices, but it's still growing at a steady pace. However, consumer tastes are changing, and fast-food leaders like McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) and Subway -- which still generate the highest systemwide sales in the U.S. -- aren't the most successful chains in the country.
The success of a fast-food chain is usually measured by its average sales per unit. By that measure, several smaller chains are crushing the bigger players, according to QSR's report on 2016 restaurant sales.
