Circuit Breaker: McDonald's Is Reopening Tomorrow
But there is no 24-hour service for now.
Good news for fast food fans — after closing for circuit breaker, McDonald's announced today (May 10) that it's reopening its outlets tomorrow, plus its Drive-Thru and McDelivery services.
But before you rush down to gorge on McSpicys and McNuggets again, here are some things to note:
- Not every outlet will be open (and most of the outlets which are open will operate from 7am to 9pm). According to McDonald's, those located in parks, tourist attractions, and some institutions will remain closed, while branches that are reopening will have adjusted opening hours. Check the opening hours at mcdonalds.com.sg.
- There will be no 24-hour service.
- Dessert Kiosks and McCafé counters will also remain closed. The fast food chain explains this allows it to reduce the number of staff members working at the restaurant and lets its vulnerable senior staff members stay at home (all crew members will continue to be paid as per usual). This move comes after seven of McDonald's employees came down with Covid-19, prompting the chain to close all their outlets for deep-cleaning.
- SafeEntry registration will be implemented for takeaway customers. If you're heading down to an outlet to tapow, expect to provide your name, NRIC number and mobile number for contact tracing purposes.
- Only contactless payments are accepted. No cash can be used for your transactions.
- You are encouraged to order delivery via McDelivery and Grabfood — the rules of social distancing still apply, okay?
