From McDonald's to Taco Bell, breakfast items are a successful strategy to grow sales, according to a report from USA Today. Breakfast all day is credited for the McDonald's turnaround after two years of slipping revenues. Taco Bell didn’t even have a breakfast menu two years ago, according to the article.
