A McDonald’s drive thru restaurant in Stevenston wants to install hi-tech signs that change with the Scottish weather.
The fast food giant would advertise coffee on cold days and ice-cream on the rare scorchers occurring in Ayrshire.
The firm has applied for planning permission to erect three digital signs and one booth screen at the Hawkhill Retail Park in the town.
The move would see takeaway fans getting a clearer view of menus and special offers.
If given the go-ahead customers will be greeted by the illuminated multiple screens as they make their way through the ordering area until they reach the pay booth.
Commenting on the first menu board to greet customers, a McDonald’s spokesman said: “The single screen acts as a welcome sign on approaching or entering the drive thru lane and displays the full menu and store specific advertising, including ice cream on hot days, coffee on cold days etc.”
A second sign would show promotional food such as the Double Quarter Pounder.
A summary of what customers ask for would appear on another digital display at the order point.
People would get a final chance to check their order again at a booth screen before paying.
It is understood making menus more visible could decrease waiting times.
North Ayrshire Council is considering the planning application. It is due to be determined on November 4.
The application was lodged earlier this month.
