Actually, the McDonald's in my area gives three hour chunks of time to a charitable organization one day a week. McDonald's has cannisters for receipts and the organization gets 100% of the profit for the receipts put in the cannister. They do it for schools, cub scout/girl scout troops, etc. It's usually on a Tuesday night. If you publicize well, you can raise a couple thousand in those 3 hours. It may be something to check into as a fundraising opportunity. Adult leaders help bus tables and keep things tidy in the dining area under the guidance of the usual McDonald's staff. It gives McDonald's good PR as a contributor in the community and keeps people coming back!

(I do realize nobody really meant to go work at McDonald's and I have nothing against canning, it just reminded me of this idea for an easy philanthropy)
