I think McDonalds owns a bunch of food and agro infrastructure that actually makes them the bulk of their profit, so as long at the brick and mortar stores are barely profitable or break even they can stay open.
Also they can let their franchise owners absorb some of the losses
exactly this, and for good locations the central office will own the land and if necessary just sell it or sit on it while the mcdonald's makes it look valuable
Pretty sure a chunk of their income is being a landlord, they own the property the franchisee is running a McDonalds shop on.
