McDonald's is multinational and as you say pretty clear-cut. A cheesecake factory may or may not be notable – quite likely not, if it is a local or regional business. Reliability refers to sources being reliable there can certainly be reliable sources talking about non-notable companies or organisations, and being mentioned in a reliable source does not automatically infer notability for the subject. Notability for a company (as Wikipedia defines it) is shown through these means. Regarding notability and reliability, those are not the same thing.
