A number of fast-food chains have cut down their menu during the coronavirus pandemic, which helps speed up service and makes workers' jobs easier.
McDonald's, for example, stopped serving All-Day Breakfast and cut salads from the menu. Subway stopped serving roast beef and rotisserie chicken. CNN reports chains known for their mega-menus, including IHOP and Dave & Buster's, have similarly cut back on offerings.
