Probably unlikely that McDonalds built that themselves. I would guess they contracted it out. It's been a long time since I knew anyone in their in-house IT division but it was entirely back office stuff not public facing.

They own the company that develops their software[1] as far as I know. It's a subsidiary.

They only work on POS & POS data related applications for McDonald's. They were purchased because of this fact.

True. Very likely an interactive creative agency built the app.

In-house IT typically controls the DNS 'A' record and reviews/oversees deployment of provided assets.

Given this grammatical error:

> "Do you want to search <query> in news section?"

I'd guess it was built by an Eastern European agency.
