The top 10 quick-service restaurant apps in the U.S. were downloaded 11.6 million times in December, 1.4 percent more than those the month prior<\/a>. Year-over-year in the month of December, downloads of the top 36 quick-service restaurant apps are up 6.6 percent. A download represents a new user and the first conversion on the mobile app customer\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, Taco Bell dropped two spots while Chick-fil-A moved up one. Panera Bread dropped off the chart after last month\u2019s Unlimited Sip Club relaunch, falling all the way to No. 19. This enabled Wendy\u2019s to make its first appearance on the chart since June. Wendy\u2019s just missed the chart last month at No. 11. It sits at No. 8 this month and was also No. 8 last time it appeared here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDonald\u2019s continues to create new top performance months for itself. It put together an enticing December with 4.24 million new installs, good for its fourth-largest month ever. McDonald\u2019s is also the landslide leader in full year 2022 quick-service restaurant app downloads with 40 million, 194 percent more than its next closest competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at the entire Food & Drink category globally, McDonald\u2019s also soars above the competition, garnering 112 percent more downloads than the next closest competitor. You can find more end of year top charts here<\/a> or view last month\u2019s column<\/a> to see the year\u2019s fastest growing apps by user sessions. It\u2019s also worth noting that while the order changed slightly, 2021\u2019s 10 most installed quick-service apps<\/a> in the U.S. were the same as this year\u2019s. While all 10 download leaders increased their numbers in 2022, McDonald\u2019s blew the competition out of the water. Its downloads increased 66.6 percent year-over-year, while the rest averaged 10.5 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panda Express was the biggest month-over-month grower in December, pulling in 43.2 percent more installs than it did in November. In the beginning of the month, the chain ran a promotion available only through its website and mobile app. Anyone purchasing its new Beyond The Original Orange Chicken Bowl was able to get a second free bowl of their choice. A month later, the chain has about 20,000 more daily active users of its mobile app than it had right before the start of the promotion. Next month, we\u2019ll see how the top quick-service apps kicked off the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
