When traveling outside the U.S., you're likely to see some ancient sites, unfamiliar buildings, exciting cuisine, interesting museums and ... McDonald's. The global fast food chain can be found everywhere from Pretoria to Paris. And while McDonald's has a clear lead in non-U.S. systemwide sales compared to other quick service chains, it isn't the only one banking on a global presence.

QSR Magazine recently ranked the top 30 quick service restaurants around the world, not counting U.S. sales. McDonald's, which came in first place, has more than three times the amount of sales as KFC, the restaurant with the second highest global sales command. But given how much Yum Brands, the parent company of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, is trying to beef up its China expansion, we're wondering if that gap will start to close slightly in the next several years.
