A Dublin fast food restaurant has gotten a digital makeover - and created 13 jobs in the process.
McDonald’s on Mary Street used the cash injection of €650,000 to revamp itself, adding table service, an indoor kids digital play table and touchscreen kiosks.
The city centre restaurant is operated by franchisee Sean Quirke and the latest refurbishment will see employment at the restaurant go up to 58 people.
Speaking about the restaurant reopening, Sean said: “I am very proud of the changes we have made to our Mary Street restaurant.
“It is important to us to offer the best family-friendly facilities and services.
"With our new self-order kiosks, customers can make more personalised food choices.
“And we will continue to ensure that we serve made-to-order meals using the best quality ingredients, in the most efficient time possible.

“McDonald’s Mary Street will operate from 7am to 10pm, 7 days a week and offers McDelivery.”
This comes after McDonald's reopened its flagship restaurant on Grafton Street at the start of March.
A newly adjusted layout means an increased capacity from 285 to 305 seats and the improved city centre building will result in 30 new jobs.

He continued: "As the busiest McDonald’s restaurant in Ireland it is important that our customers can access the best family-friendly facilities and services on offer.

The revamped outlet will feature a host of new digital facilities including table service, an indoor kids digital play table with Samsung Galaxy tablets, and touch screen self-order kiosks, which will deliver a more customised and efficient service for customers.
