Oh, no, I can't use the McDonald's app!
Can't remember the last time I spent money on McDonald's over priced crap.
Doesn't their website offer the same functions?
no. you can't order from the mcdonalds website, it tells you to go to the app. if you wanted to you could use the doordash website, or the like
They have a different app though, it looks different and doesn't order at McDonald's but at least the food is better.
Every platform costs. (QA + dev + prod) * Platforms
Nearly Everybody has a phone. They have kiosks at every store and a register.
They don't make more money for a web app.
When the mobile app is just a glorified browser specifically for the service, that is obviously silly.
