McDonalds is working with german right wing parties CSU and CDU. Their leaders ate a burger there during campain and now they massivly lower tax for huge restaurants only. There are even McDonalds ads about the lower tax law and cheap food.
The lowered tax is for all restaurants, they just don't pass it on to customers.
It is benificial for big players. See: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsax-cgk0L0
Well yes, more revenue means more taxes, more taxes mean more (absolute) profit from any given tax break. That doesn't mean small restaurants don't benefit from it. It's also true for any cost reduction. If electricity costs went down, McDonald's would also profit more (in absolute numbers) than mom and pop restaurants.
