CHICAGO — McDonald’s turned to a sure thing in the first quarter, bacon, and it paid off. Revenue was expected to fall as McDonald’s puts some company-owned stores back in the hands of franchisees. Around 90% of the company’s stores globally are run by franchisees; McDonald’s wants to bring that to 95%. At the beginning of the year, McDonald’s Corp. offered bacon on anything customers wanted for an hour. McDonald’s is modernizing its restaurants with digital ordering kiosks, table service and curbside pickup for mobile orders.
