McDonald's Restaurants (New Zealand) Limited[1] (also trading as "Macca's"[2]) is the New Zealand subsidiary of the international fast food restaurant chain McDonald's. Its first location opened in 1976.[4] In 2017 McDonald's New Zealand had 167 restaurants operating nationwide, serving an estimated one million people each week.[2] The company earned revenues of over $250 million in the 2018 financial year.[5]

As with McDonald's locations worldwide, the franchise primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts. In response to changing consumer tastes, the company has expanded its menu to include salads, fish, wraps, smoothies, and fruit. The company also operates the Georgie Pie and McCafé chains within many of its stores; through the latter McDonald's is the largest coffee shop brand in the country.[6]

McDonald's New Zealand operations are based in Greenlane, Auckland.[7]
