Arcos Dorados is the largest operator of McDonald's restaurants in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the world's largest McDonald's franchisee, in terms of systemwide sales and number of restaurants. The company's sales reached US$4.0 billion in 2013. 

With more than 90,000 employees, it is recognized as one of the best companies to work for in Latin America and one of the region's leading employers of young, first-time job holders.

The menu includes options that represent all food groups. Arcos Dorados offer varied combinations in terms of cooking style to serve the different lifestyles of the 4.3 million clients that visit the restaurants each day. 

Arcos Dorados uses safe, high-quality products in all of its McDonald's restaurants. In addition, these products are subject to strict quality control and hygiene processes throughout the production chain. This process continues in the restaurants, ending when the products are served to the clients. It should be noted that Arcos Dorados has a permanent new product Research and Development initiative to keep the menu up to date with healthy options for the customers and their families.  

Arcos Dorados operates or franchises more than 2,070 McDonald's-branded restaurants serving approximately 4.3 million customers in 20 countries and territories (Argentina, Aruba, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curaçao, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Thomas, Trinidad & Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela).  

Sustainability - The Qorichacra Project
The Qorichacra Project, in Peru, is a Syngenta Foundation and Arcos Dorados initiative. Small Cusco farmers are now able to contribute to the supply chain of an important food company with high quality standards as those of McDonald's.

Efforts are underway to replicate the program in Argentina, Brazil, Puerto Rico and Venezuela, in a commitment to prospecting future alliances and identifying new strategies to help integrate small farmers into the formal economy.
