For any platform, really, it’s just that mobile suffers from the “everything must be an app” problem the worst. Luckily, fast food hasn’t gotten bold enough to ask you to install a desktop app when opening their website.
99% of apps can just be websites, and probably 80%+ of them are just PWAs in a wrapper that can be published on an app store.
IIRC (from others, never installed it) McDonald’s app is also obnoxious, requiring permissions and refusing to run on custom ROMs and rooted devices. It was once used alongside some common banking apps as a metric of “how close to Google Android is this ROM”.

A lot of fast food places offer coupons only in the app.
I used to go in to pick up the coupon books or they’d get sent to my mailbox.
RIP “2 can dine for $6.99”
That’s fine, I don’t eat from fast food places. One less app to install.

I just realized it’s been months since I got the bundle of coupons in the mail.
