Yahoo Finance The best McDonald's, KFC and Hungry Jack's deals this week
The quick-service restaurant industry is a big player in Australia.
To be more precise, according to IBISWorld, it's worth $20.1 billion annually. This is why all the big-name fast food chains constantly discount their menu.
They know the fastest way to a hungry mouth is by appealing to our wallets.
