McDonald’s Corp. has been hit by a system outage that appears to have started in the Asia-Pacific region and spread to other markets globally, leaving customers unable to order at its stores and through electronic platforms.
The issue, caused by a problem with the fast-food giant’s computer system, rippled from Japan to Australia, New Zealand and several European countries on Friday, leaving some restaurants unable to take orders or serve food.
