The recipe
How it works
Everything that moves money in McRibs, in plain words. All numbers on this page come live from the game config.
Step by step
The loop
- 1Deposit McRib from your wallet. It shows up in your game balance once Solana finalizes it (~15s).
- 2Open your restaurant for 10,000 McRib: Level 1, two stations and a free Crew member.
- 3Hire crew (5,000 McRib each, one per station), level them up and promote them. Renovating unlocks more stations (up to 8).
- 4Your crew earns a share of the MCDx reward pool every second. Claim it to your wallet whenever you want.
Crew math
Power & ranks
Each crew member has power = rank weight × (100 + 3 × (level − 1)), shown divided by 100. A fresh Crew member is 100 power; a Level 50 Franchisee is 864.5. Your restaurant's power is the sum of its crew.
| Rank | Weight | Needs | Promotion cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| CrewCap on, mop ready. Everyone starts here. | 100 | Lv 1 | — |
| CashierKnows the register by heart. Smiles on command. | 140 | Lv 10 | 50,000 McRib |
| Grill CookOwns the flat-top. Never burns a patty. | 190 | Lv 20 | 75,000 McRib |
| Shift ManagerClipboard, headset, unstoppable. | 250 | Lv 30 | 150,000 McRib |
| FranchiseeOwns the building. Wears the suit. | 350 | Lv 40 | 550,000 McRib |
Menu prices
Level-up costs
Restaurant and crew levels share one curve (each level ~12.5% pricier than the last). Prices are set server-side — the game always charges the price you saw, or refuses if it changed. Maxing a restaurant from 1 to 50 costs 1,279,910 McRib in total.

Where MCDx comes from
The reward pool
The operator buys MCDx with GAME creator fees and sends it to the pool. The game releases roughly 50% of whatever is left in the pool per day, continuously, and shares each release by power across every restaurant. A bigger pool releases more; a draining pool releases less. If nobody tops it up, releases shrink toward zero.
That's why we never show an APY or a projected income: your share depends on the pool size, on everyone else's power and on top-ups nobody can promise. The number in your HUD is what your crew has actually accrued so far.

Every spend
The spend split
Whenever you spend McRib — opening, hiring, levelling, promoting, renovating — it's split three ways:
- Burned onchain — 50%
- Treasury — 40%
- Your referrer* — 10%
* If nobody referred you, that share goes to the treasury. Splits are configurable; this page always shows the live values.

Who holds what
Custody & the pool wallet
McRibs is custodial: deposits sit in one pool wallet, and every unit is tracked in a double-entry ledger that's continuously reconciled against the chain. Withdrawals and claims always go to the wallet you signed in with — there's no way to send them anywhere else. If the books and the chain ever disagree, payouts pause automatically.

Risks
No guaranteed rewards
The pool is finite and may not be topped up. Rewards can slow down or stop.
Spends are final
McRib spent on upgrades is gone — half of it is burned. Only your unspent balance is withdrawable.
Custodial pool
Funds sit in an operator-run wallet. Bugs, key compromise or operational mistakes could cause losses.
MCDx issuer controls
The tokenized stock issuer can pause, freeze or claw back MCDx; xStocks are not available in every country (e.g. the US).
Token prices move
McRib and MCDx prices can drop sharply. USD figures here are display estimates only.
Parody
McRibs is not affiliated with McDonald’s. It’s a game; play with what you can afford to lose.
