alt Hacker NewsIt's literally only McDonalds though who goes to this degree and does so across different codebases in locales across the world. The departments you're talking about exist in many places, but no other big company has their apps be like this so consistently.
Other companies do similarly ridiculous things. I’ve personally had to push back on this in non-McDonalds companies, and I see others out there with the same kinds of problems. For instance, Starbucks has a different app for different countries, and they region-lock them. So if you have an Apple ID registered in one country and you visit another, you can’t use install that country’s Starbucks app to order. Which is super unhelpful when there’s a language barrier because you are in a different country.
