McDonald's filed a Metaverse trademark application to establish virtual fast-food restaurants and virtual goods and services in the online world. The giant fast-food franchise hopes to offer virtual goods in tandem with real-world products.
According to the company's trademark application, the virtual restaurant would operate online and offer home delivery. In addition to its food services, McDonald's aims to provide consumers with entertainment services, including virtual concerts and other events hosted online. Seeing as the company is still in its application phase, which was submitted on February 4th, the specifics of how these services will be accessible to consumers has not yet been divulged. Consumers can, however, expect to see McDonald's in the Metaverse in the near future.
