McDONALD’S will reopen all of its drive thrus in the UK, including ones in the Bradford district, by the end of next week.

The fast food chain plans to reopen all of its drive thru facilities in the UK, including Shipley, between Tuesday, June 2 and Thursday, June 4.

This is part of McDonald’s’ plan to reopen 1,019 of its restaurants by June 4, either for drive thru or McDelivery.

The company will also start to expand the availability of its McDelivery too.

To manage the anticipated demand, we will release the locations of the reopening restaurants on the morning of each day.

A McDonald’s spokesman said: “This is only possible following the hard work of the teams in our 44 pilot restaurants. Over the last fortnight, our employees, franchisees and suppliers have worked tirelessly to implement new procedures to enable safe working so that we can now help all parts of the UK and Ireland to enjoy the return of the Big Mac.

“We will continue to work with local authorities and the police as we extend our reopening plans. With smaller teams, we will still be offering a limited menu over reduced hours, and we ask that you make contactless payments and limit your spend to £25. “We are continuing to review these measures as we reopen, but for now, these restrictions remain in place to help our employees, customers and delivery partner couriers to remain safe.

Here is a list of the safety measures McDonald’s has brought in:

• Capped spend in Drive Thrus at £25 per car and customers are encouraged to pay by contactless payment methods wherever possible.

• 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 the company will use contactless thermometers with temperatures taken on arrival at work for every shift.

• Social distancing has been introduced in the kitchens and service areas to help create a safe working environment for restaurant teams.

• Restaurants will return with smaller teams, offering a limited menu.
