McDonald's to re-open drive-thrus in Airdrie and Coatbridge
Fewer employees will be in kitchens and service areas to maintain social distancing rules
by Ian Bunting, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/ian-bunting/MCDONALD'S will open up their drive-thrus in Airdrie and Coatbridge – and across Lanarkshire – next week.
The fast-food giant announced the move this week – and fans can’t wait to get back under the Golden Arches.
Every drive-thru in the UK and Ireland will be opened by next Thursday and the locations of the restaurants will be confirmed each morning
McDonald’s said: “Following a successful pilot, we can confirm that 924 drive-thru restaurants will reopen by June 4.
“We will also add 75 restaurants to McDelivery via either Uber Eats or Just Eat.
“In order to allow for social distancing, we will have fewer employees in our kitchens and service areas.
“To help or smaller teams, we will be offering a limited menu (no breakfast, wraps or shakes) over reduced hours (11am to 10pm).
“We continue to ask that you limit your spend to £25 and use contactless payment methods wherever possible.
“Our teams are adjusting to new safety and hygiene procedures, which will help them to work safely and social distance; we appreciate your continued patience.
“We are delighted to be returning to communities across the UK and Ireland but it will look different and take a little longer. Please bear with us.
“Through our website and social media channels, we will confirm the locations of the reopening restaurants on each morning.”
