McDonald's is reopening six drive-thru restaurants in the Dublin area today.
They are Nutgrove, Kylemore Road, East Wall, Artane, Malahide Road and Tallaght.
It's eight weeks since the fast-food giant completely shut down its operations because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Management is also limiting the maximum spend per car to €30 and customers are asked to use contactless payments where possible.
McDonald's says a number of safety and wellbeing measures have been put in place, including;
- Fewer people in the kitchen and service areas, serving a reduced menu over reduced hours;
- The use of contactless thermometers, with temperatures checked on arrival at work
- Perspex screens in key locations in the kitchen and service areas;
- Protective equipment for our people including gloves for customer and courier facing positions and face masks, but not the type needed by healthcare professionals;
- And additional training on cleanliness practices, including increased frequency of handwashing and extra sanitising of touch points around the restaurant.
The next phase of the company's reopening is due to begin in early June.
