McDonald’s has confirmed when it will start to reopen restaurants across the UK.
In a letter to staff and customers – McDonald’s UK CEO Paul Pomroy revealed the number of measures that will be in place to allow them to reopen safely.
Mr Pomroy said: “In March we took the decision to temporarily close our restaurants in the UK and Ireland for the safety of our employees and customers.
“Recently, we began working through a potential and limited reopening and I wanted to share with you an update that we shared with our franchisees and 135,000 employees earlier today.
“As part of our reopening planning, we have been listening to you and our employees, and we have worked closely with UK and Irish governments and trade bodies to help ensure we do this responsibly. We have deliberately taken our time, we want to get this right.
“We sought the views of our employees as we worked through our reopening planning, to give us all confidence in the measures we are introducing to keep them safe.
“We understand everyone has been affected by this global crisis differently and therefore when it comes to returning to work, our people will be encouraged to make the right decision, based on their personal circumstances.”
The restaurants that will be reopening on Wednesday, May 13, 2020 – will be announced next week.
McDonald’s will introduce the following measures to help keep people safe:
Perspex screens and floor markings will be introduced in specific areas.
McDonald’s will provide additional protective equipment including non-medical grade face masks.
All McDonald’s employees will be asked to confirm they are fit and able to work, and they will use contactless thermometers with temperatures taken on arrival at work for every shift.
McDonald’s will also be introducing social distancing measures for all of our delivery and service partners.
