Burger King is set to re-open three restaurants in Scotland for takeaway during coronavirus lockdow n.
Restaurants in Dundee, Aberdeen and Glasgow will open their doors again as the chain trials safe social distancing.
Customers can get their Burger King fix by "delivery only" starting from Wednesday, which they can do by ordering through JustEat or Deliveroo.
The burger chain is opening a total of eight restaurants across the UK this week in a "phased re-opening plan" and that will see one up and running in every city by May 31.
The full menu won't be on offer to customers, but favourites such as the Chicken Royale, Bacon Double Cheeseburger and Whopper will all be available to order.
Staff will also be protected using masks, gloves, contactless delivery options and extensive cleaning measures.
The restaurants opening in Scotland are:
- Dundee
- Aberdeen
-
Glasgow, Hillington
- Glasgow, Springfield Quay
A spokesperson said: "Safety is Burger King’s number one priority, and to enable restaurants to re-open a number of procedures have been put in place to safeguard the health of both Burger King employees and customers.
"These include additional PPE such as masks and gloves for staff, stringent cleaning measures, contactless delivery options via Deliveroo and Just Eat and all Burger King staff comprehensively trained on the Government’s social distancing measures – including how to run kitchens hygienically, whilst abiding by them."
Burger King also plan to donate meals to NHS staff in hospitals local to re-opened restaurants as a way of saying thanks for their hard work.
The first Drive Thru restaurant will open in Havant this week, with the plan of opening more as lockdwon eases.
Katie Evans, Marketing Director at Burger King UK said: "We are so pleased to be able to open more restaurants across the UK this week, including our first restaurant for customer Drive Thru - which is a huge step forward.”
