Queues have started to form at both Kilmarnock McDonald's restaurants as they reopened this morning.
The fast-food giant's drive-thru was opened to customers at 11am this morning after being closed since March.
McDonald's, along with other eateries, closed down as the coronavirus lockdown was enforced more than two months ago.
Members of staff can be seen directing cars and cones are in place to help stem the flow of traffic.
Between Tuesday, June 2 and Thursday, June 4, over 1,000 McDonald’s restaurants will be open in the UK and Ireland, either for drive-thru or McDelivery.
To help create a safe experience for everyone, McDonald’s has introduced a number of changes to their restaurants, including:
- Social distancing has been introduced in the kitchens and service areas to help create a safe working environment for restaurant teams.
- Perspex screens at drive-thru windows and employees wearing protective equipment, as well as perspex screens and floor markings in specific areas in the restaurant and kitchen.
- All McDonald’s employees will be asked to confirm they are fit and able to work and contactless thermometers will be used to take employee temperatures on arrival at work for every shift.
- Ensuring our delivery procedures with couriers are contactless for both our people and our customers.
- Restaurants will return with smaller teams, offering a limited menu* and operating reduced hours.
- Encouraging capped spend for drive-thru and McDelivery at £25 per order, and customers are encouraged to pay by contactless payment methods
- For those visiting drive-thrus, customers can browse the menu, order and pay ahead using the My McDonald’s App.
