From today – Wednesday 20 May – more than 30 McDonald’s restaurants will open across the UK.
Last week, the fast food giant made the decision to open 15 restaurants in the South East of England but confirmed more branches would follow suit this week.
It’s worth pointing out that while the first 15 restaurants have been operating delivery only (through Uber Eats) the branches opening today will be offering a drive-thru service, running from 11am-10pm.
However, rules will still be in place to ensure social distancing measures are carried out.
Drive-thru customers will only be able to order up to £25 per car. This is because McDonald’s staff will be working in smaller teams and adhering to strict social distancing measures.
As a result, service may be a little slower.
Some other new measures include perspex screens in key locations in the kitchen and service areas, as well as protective (non-medical) equipment for staff – including gloves and face masks for customer and courier-facing positions.
Paul Pomroy, CEO of McDonald’s in UK and Ireland, has also revealed that the chain hopes to reopen all drive-thrus by early June.
He said: ‘There has been an incredible response to news of our reopening and we know many of you are eager for us to extend our reopening plans at a faster pace.
‘Moving in step with government guidelines, we plan to reopen all our Drive-Thrus by early June. We will keep the restaurant locator on our website updated as our Drive Thrus reopen over the coming weeks.’
