McDonalds announces it will reopen all UK and Ireland restaurants in June

McDonalds announces it will reopen all UK and Ireland restaurants in June.

McDonalds has announced it will reopen all its restaurants across the UK and Ireland for drive-thru or delivery by 4 June.

The fast-food chain has been experimenting with 33 trial branches over the past month, operating using a limited menu and reduced opening hours.

Staff will be protected with Perspex screens installed at drive-thru windows and throughout the kitchens. Each employee will have their temperature checked before they begin a shift and will be given protective masks and gloves to wear.

Opening hours will be limited to 11am – 10pm, which will mean breakfast is excluded from their menu.

Customers will also be limited for a £25 spend and are encouraged to use contactless payment methods where possible.

McDonalds has also warned that if drive-thru lanes get so busy that disruption is caused or staff safety is put at risk, they will temporarily close the drive-thru. McDonalds says it is working closely with local authorities to ensure minimal disruption.
