Remodeled restaurants offer new technology and a
more fun, modern experience
Today, McDonald’s announced that the company and its franchisees
are investing approximately $266 million in PA throughout 2018 and
2019 on the construction and modernization of 360 McDonald’s
restaurants, transforming the customer experience inside and
outside the restaurant. In total, McDonald’s and franchisees are
investing $6 billion to modernize most U.S. restaurants by 2020,
including most restaurants in the Commonwealth.
With this significant construction investment, the
transformed restaurants will feature:
- Modernized dining rooms with globally and locally inspired
décor, new furniture and refreshed exterior designs
- Enhanced customer experience with digital self-order kiosks
that make ordering and paying for a meal easier. Kiosks empower
guests to browse the menu, find options and tailor their meal just
the way they want.
- Remodeled counters allow for new table service that offers
guests the opportunity to relax while their food is being
made
- Bright and easy to read digital menu boards inside and at the
drive through
- New designated parking spots for curbside pick-up through
mobile order and pay
- Expanded McCafé counters and larger display cases
“This is an exciting time for McDonald’s and we’re
proud to be investing nearly $266 million to provide a new
experience, look and feel for guests at McDonald’s locations across
Pennsylvania,” said Marcia Graham, President of the Greater
Philadelphia McDonald's Owner/Operators Association. “We are also
pleased that our modernization efforts support local architecture,
engineering and construction jobs across the Keystone State.”
"The over 500 independently owned and operated
McDonalds's across Pennsylvania are important members of the
communities in which they do business--from offering opportunities
to local residents by offering restaurant jobs to supporting local
community organizations. This $266 million investment by
McDonald's Corporation and franchisees will improve
the restaurant experience for customers while also supporting
local jobs,” said John Longstreet, President and CEO, Pennsylvania
Restaurant & Lodging Association.
“McDonald’s is an important local business and
provider in the community,” said Dan Delligatti, president of the
Three Rivers McDonald's Owner/Operators Association in Pittsburgh.
“McDonald’s is helping create and sustain local jobs not only in
the restaurant but also though its construction and modernization,
and that helps support the local families they
serve.”
In addition to the investments to modernize the
restaurant, McDonald’s has also introduced McDelivery with Uber
Eats at more than 5,000 US restaurants.
