McDonald’s reopens dine-in at 700 restaurants

McDonald’s will reopen dine-in areas from today across England following a successful pilot.

This follows the reopening for takeaway, Drive Thru and McDelivery over the past seven weeks.

Around 700 restaurants will reopen for dine-in, with social distancing measures in place.

To prevent congestion, the restaurant will manage the number of customers inside.

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

In line with Government guidance, McDonald’s will be asking customers eating in to leave their contact details by using their smart phone to either scan a QR code taking them to a dedicated webpage or visiting that webpage 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).

Reopening the dine-in area will enable some restaurants to take part in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, offering 50% off dine-in bills, up to £10 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in August.
