Mcdonald’s back on the menu

MCDONALD’S drivethrus in Coventry and Nuneaton are to open in a matter of days. Mcdonald’s announced on social media that following successful trials, they will be re-opening all drive-thru stores this week.

The openings will occur from June 2 to June 4.

The Telegraph can reveal the drive-thru at restaurants in Walsgrave, Nuneaton, Appleby Magna and Tamworth will re-open on June 3.

At all drive-thrus there will be a limited menu on offer.

This means you will not be able to buy breakfast, any wraps or milkshakes. There will be a maximum order spend of £25.

Mcdonald’s will also be adding 75 restaurants to delivery services Just Eat and Uber Eats.

Sarah Mclean, who owns the franchises for those opening on June 3, said the trading hours will be 11am until 10pm.

“These measures are temporary to assist social distancing for employee and customer safety and to help with speed of service as I expect there will be very high demand initially,” she explained.

Following the opening of the drive-thrus on June 3, the restaurants will resume delivery one week after re-opening.

Capped spend in Drive Thrus at £25 per car and customers are encouraged to pay by contactless payment methods wherever possible.

Perspex screens at Drive Thru windows and employees wearing protective equipment, as well as Perspex screens and floor markings in specific areas in the restaurant and kitchen.

All Mcdonald’s employees will be asked to confirm they are fit and able to work, and the company will use contactless thermometers with temperatures taken on arrival at work for every shift.

Social distancing has been introduced in the kitchens and service areas to help create a safe working environment for restaurant teams.

Restaurants will return with smaller teams, offering a limited menu.
