Burger lovers can walk into two Nottingham city centre branches of McDonald's which are reopening today (June 24).
Until now only drive-thrus and McDelivery have been available.
Customers must take their food away, however, as the seating areas remain closed for now.
Restaurants in Milton Street and Clumber Street are among 280 nationwide reopening their doors. Branches at Exchange Walk and Angel Row remain closed.
They will look a little different with new safety procedures in place including:
- Clear signposting and floor-markings to create a one-way system around restaurants for customers and delivery partner couriers, where possible.
- A limited number of people will be allowed inside restaurants to help customers and employees adhere to social distancing – this will vary depending upon the restaurant size and layout.
- Customers will be welcomed inside when a space becomes available and will be asked to sanitise their hands at cleaning stations that have been introduced in all restaurants.
- There will be fewer self-order screens switched on and those in use will be sanitised at least every 30 minutes. Customers can also order via the My McDonald’s app.
- Customers are encouraged to visit alone to collect their food where possible. For those visiting with children, play areas and digital play areas will remain closed.
- Restaurant seating areas, customer toilets and lifts will remain closed.
- Recycling points will also remain closed. The large majority of McDonald’s packaging can be recycled, and customers are encouraged to dispose of their litter responsibly and recycle wherever possible when they get home.
- To help protect employees and other customers, McDonald’s asks customers not to visit if they feel unwell.
