In Scandinavia, the rights to operate the McDonald’s brand and franchise is owned by Food Folk, a McDonald’s Development Licensee with national head offices in Oslo, Copenhagen, Helsinki, and Stockholm. Food Folk owns and operates a number of McDonald’s restaurants themselves and provide sparring and support to the franchisees who operate their own restaurants in each market. Having registered a growing need for an improved internal communication platform, Food Folk Finland was chosen to run a pilot implementation of Ziik in September 2020.
