THE MCDO’S & MCDON’TS

Chain reveals rules as dine-in option returns

MCDONALD’S has announced it is to reopen 28 restaurants here for dining-in.

Following a successful pilot, it will welcome back customers from today with restrictions.

A spokesman said: “Social distancing measures will be in place and, to prevent congestion, the restaurant will carefully manage the number of customers inside.

“When arriving, customers will be asked to use the hand sanitiser provided and follow the safety measures laid out in restaurants to help keep them, other customers and restaurant teams safe.

“Food will be served by table service only with customers able to order directly to their table via the My Mcdonald’s app, at the till or kiosk.

“In line with Government guidance, Mcdonald’s will be asking customers that choose to eat-in to leave their contact details by using their smartphone to either scan a QR code taking them to a dedicated webpage or visiting that page directly with the URL details provided on each table.

“Customers will be asked to leave the name of the lead member and the number of people within their group, a phone number, the date and time of visit and the restaurant number (identified on each table sticker).” These measures are on top of the existing steps in place to help protect customers, employees and delivery partner couriers which are:

Hand sanitiser at the entrance to every restaurant for couriers and dine-in and takeaway customers

Clear floor markings and signposting inside and outside restaurants to help enable social distancing

Touchpoints including self-order screens, card readers and doors are sanitised at least every 30 minutes, and

Perspex screens have been installed in the kitchens, service areas and Drive-thru windows.
