The restaurant chain saw global comparable sales increase 3.6 per cent year-on-year for the third quarter ended September 30. This followed a 3.8 per cent increase in the second quarter.

US comparable sales continued its positive momentum with a 2.4 per cent uplift, primarily driven by check growth. International operated markets recorded a 4.3 per cent improvement, with all markets performing well, especially Germany and Australia.
