It's funny how mcdonalds did everything in their power to make it almost impossible to run their mcdonalds app on a rooted phone, but their backend infrastructure is beyond broken (security wise)

Why does one even need an app for a fast food restaurant?

1. You can exchange privacy for 20% off.

2. Many franchises have a crummy PA system, so you can avoid this if you plan on using the drive-through.

3. Customization. It's very tedious for all involved to repeatedly request "no cheese", "no ice", "extra sauce", etc. for a very large (e.g., $100+) order.
