McDonald's to reopen around 700 restaurants for dine-in
Reopening the dine-in area will also enable some restaurants to take part in the Chancellor’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
McDonald’s will reopen dine-in areas of around 7000 restaurants starting 22 July across the UK, except in Wales where eat-in is restricted.
This follows the fast food giant’s reopening for takeaway, delivery and drive-thru over the past seven weeks.
Social distancing measures will be in place and restaurants will manage the number of customers inside to prevent congestion. When arriving, customers will be asked to use the hand sanitiser provided and follow the safety measures laid out in restaurants.
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, the chain 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 webpage directly with the URL details provided on each table. Customers will then 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.
McDonald’s said reopening the dine-in area will enable some restaurants to take part in the Chancellor’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme, offering 50% off dine-in bills, up to £10 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in August.
