Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s December 31, 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 , do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Per Common Share Information | Per Common Share Information Diluted earnings per common share is calculated using net income divided by diluted weighted-average shares. Diluted weighted-average shares include weighted-average shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of share-based compensation, calculated using the treasury stock method, of 5.5 million shares and 7.3 million shares for the quarters 2020 and 2019 , respectively, and 5.4 million shares and 7.0 million shares for the nine months 2020 and 2019 , respectively. Share-based compensation awards that would have been antidilutive, and therefore were not included in the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares, totaled 1.8 million shares and 0.1 million shares for the quarters 2020 and 2019 , respectively, and 1.9 million shares and 0.1 million shares for the nine months 2020 and 2019 , respectively. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value disclosures are reflected in a three-level hierarchy, maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The Company did not have any significant changes to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value as described in the Company's December 31, 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. At September 30, 2020 , the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was estimated at $43.4 billion , compared to a carrying amount of $37.8 billion , which reflects $5.5 billion of debt issuances during the first quarter under the Company's existing registration statement on Form S-3 with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2050 and interest rates ranging from 1.45% to 4.20% . The balances at September 30, 2020 also reflect the retirement of $900 million of commercial paper and $1.4 billion of other debt maturities compared with December 31, 2019 . In addition, a $1 billion line of credit was entered into during the first quarter of 2020, and subsequently repaid in the third quarter. The fair value was based upon quoted market prices, Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, short-term investments and notes receivable approximate fair value. |

Fair Value Hedges The Company enters into fair value hedges to reduce the exposure to changes in fair values of certain liabilities. The Company enters into fair value hedges that convert a portion of its fixed rate debt into floating rate debt by use of interest rate swaps. At September 30, 2020 , the carrying amount of fixed-rate debt that was effectively converted was $1.0 billion , which included an increase of $37.9 million of cumulative hedging adjustments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 , the Company recognized a $25.8 million gain on the fair value of interest rate swaps, and a corresponding loss on the fair value of the related hedged debt instrument to interest expense. Cash Flow Hedges The Company enters into cash flow hedges to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. To protect against the reduction in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows (such as royalties denominated in foreign currencies), the Company uses foreign currency forwards to hedge a portion of anticipated exposures. The hedges cover the next 18 months for certain exposures and are denominated in various currencies. To protect against the variability of interest rates of an anticipated bond issuance, the Company may use treasury locks to hedge a portion of the expected future cash flows. As of September 30, 2020 , the Company had derivatives outstanding with an equivalent notional amount of $1.1 billion that hedged a portion of forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows. Based on market conditions at September 30, 2020 , the $78.0 million in cumulative cash flow hedging losses , after tax, is not expected to have a significant effect on earnings over the next 12 months. Net Investment Hedges The Company primarily uses foreign currency denominated debt (third party and intercompany) to hedge its investments in certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates. Realized and unrealized translation adjustments from these hedges are included in shareholders' equity in the foreign currency translation component of Other comprehensive income ("OCI") and offset translation adjustments on the underlying net assets of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, which also are recorded in OCI. As of September 30, 2020 , $12.7 billion of the Company's third party foreign currency denominated debt and $0.6 billion of intercompany foreign currency denominated debt was designated to hedge investments in certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates. Undesignated Derivatives The Company enters into certain derivatives that are not designated for hedge accounting, therefore the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings together with the gain or loss from the hedged balance sheet position. As an example, the Company enters into equity derivative contracts, including total return swaps, to hedge market-driven changes in certain of its supplemental benefit plan liabilities. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in Selling, general & administrative expenses together with the changes in the supplemental benefit plan liabilities. The Company may also use certain derivatives to mitigate the share price risk related to its sale of stock in McDonald’s Japan. The changes in the fair value of the undesignated derivatives used for the most recent sale transaction were recognized immediately in earnings in Other Operating (income) expense, net. In addition, the Company uses foreign currency forwards to mitigate the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in Nonoperating (income) expense, net, along with the currency gain or loss from the hedged balance sheet position. Credit Risk The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company did not have significant exposure to any individual counterparty at September 30, 2020 and has master agreements that contain netting arrangements. For financial reporting purposes, the Company presents gross derivative balances in the financial statements and supplementary data, including for counterparties subject to netting arrangements. Some of these agreements also require each party to post collateral if credit ratings fall below, or aggregate exposures exceed, certain contractual limits. At September 30, 2020 , the Company was required to post an immaterial amount of collateral due to the negative fair value of certain derivative positions. The Company's counterparties were not required to post collateral on any derivative position, other than on certain hedges of the Company’s supplemental benefit plan liabilities where the counterparties were required to post collateral on their liability positions. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company began the third quarter with nearly all restaurants globally open for business, and which currently remain open as of the date of filing. However, as a result of COVID-19 resurgences, since September, there have been numerous instances of government restrictions on operating hours, limited dine-in capacity in most countries and, in some cases, mandated dining room closures. These restrictions are impacting most of the Company's key markets outside of the U.S., including France, Germany, Canada and the U.K. The Company expects some restrictions in various markets so long as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. There were no other subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Updates to Significant Accounting Policies Revenue recognition The Company's revenues consist of sales by Company-operated restaurants and fees from restaurants operated by franchisees, developmental licensees and affiliates. Revenues from conventional franchised restaurants include rent and royalties based on a percent of sales with minimum rent payments, and initial fees. Revenues from restaurants licensed to developmental licensees and affiliates include a royalty based on a percent of sales, and generally include initial fees. The Company’s Other revenues are comprised of fees paid by franchisees to recover a portion of costs incurred by the Company for various technology platforms, revenues from brand licensing arrangements to market and sell consumer packaged goods using the McDonald’s brand, and third party revenues for the Dynamic Yield business. Sales by Company-operated restaurants are recognized on a cash basis at the time of the underlying sale and are presented net of sales tax and other sales-related taxes. Royalty revenues are based on a percent of sales and recognized at the time the underlying sales occur. Rental income includes both minimum rent payments, which are recognized straight-line over the franchise term (with the exception of rent concessions as a result of COVID-19 – refer to the Leasing policy update on page 11), and variable rent payments based on a percent of sales, which are recognized at the time the underlying sales occur. Initial fees are recognized as the Company satisfies the performance obligation over the franchise term, which is generally 20 years. The Company provides goods or services related to various technology platforms to certain franchisees that are distinct from the franchise agreement because they do not require integration with other goods or services we provide. The Company has determined that it is the principal in these arrangements. Accordingly, the related revenue is presented on a gross basis on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. These revenues are recognized as the goods or services are transferred to the franchisee, and related expenses are recognized as incurred. Brand licensing arrangement revenues are based on a percent of sales and are recognized at the time the underlying sales occur. Dynamic Yield third party revenues are generated from providing software as a service solutions to customers and are recognized over the applicable subscription period as the service is performed. Long-lived assets, Goodwill and Capitalized Software Long-lived assets and Goodwill are typically reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or if an indicator of impairment exists. The Company has continued to monitor the global economic uncertainty as a result of COVID-19 to assess the outlook for restaurant operations and the impact that any disruption may have on the Company's business and overall financial performance. As a result of the Company's analysis, and in consideration of the totality of events and circumstances, including the potential impact of COVID-19 related disruptions on the Company’s operating results, there were no indicators of impairment during the quarter or nine months 2020. In addition to the Long-lived assets and Goodwill impairment analysis, the Company reviews capitalized software for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or if an indicator of impairment exists, which occurs more regularly throughout the year, such as when new software may be ready for its intended use. Results for the nine months 2020 reflected write-offs of impaired software that were no longer being used of $26.3 million. Leasing The FASB issued guidance for how companies may account for COVID-19 related rent concessions in the form of FASB staff and Board members’ remarks at the April 8, 2020 public meeting and the FASB Staff Q&A issued on April 10, 2020. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for COVID-19 related rent concessions as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract. This was elected for the Company’s entire lessee and lessor portfolio for any rent deferrals or rent abatements. For the lessee portfolio, the Company elected not to remeasure the lease liability and right-of-use asset if a rent deferral or a rent abatement is granted. The Company deferred collection of approximately $20 million and $470 million of rental income on revenue that was recognized in the quarter and nine months, respectively. Rental income includes both minimum rent payments and variable rent payments based on a percent of sales. |

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items] | |
Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Text Block] | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Financial Instruments - Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance codified in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments". The standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in prior GAAP with a methodology that instead reflects a current estimate of all expected credit losses on financial assets, including receivables. The guidance requires that an entity measure and recognize expected credit losses at the time the asset is recorded, while considering a broader range of information to estimate credit losses including country specific macroeconomic conditions that correlate with historical loss experience, delinquency trends and aging behavior of receivables, among others. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020, prospectively, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company had an Allowance for bad debts of $85.3 million as of September 30, 2020 recorded as a reduction to Accounts and notes receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Included in this amount were net reductions in the allowance related to rent and royalty deferrals of $27 million for the quarter and an increase in the allowance related to rent and royalty deferrals of $66 million for the nine months. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on expected losses. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” ("ASU 2019-12"), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including applicable interim periods. The Company anticipates the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" ("ASU 2020-04"). The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
