McDonald's is looking to return to the U.K. high street, and part of the plan for this goal is to hire at least 20,000 new staff. In addition, the fast-food chain will also be opening 50 new restaurant outlets this year.
McDonald’s is also hiring and opening branches in Ireland, so an additional 100 restaurants are being planned for the next two years. This will also increase the total hiring for crew members to 200,000.
McDonald’s in UK high street
It was reported that this detail was announced by McDonald’s chief executive officer, CEO Paul Pomroy, last weekend. He explained that since the consumers are slowly returning to the high streets in the United Kingdom, the number of diners is growing as a result.
Thus, the company is currently looking for 20,000 workers across the U.K. and Ireland, and this is for this year alone. These will be employed in the 50 outlets that will open soon in the said regions.
“It’s fantastic to be able to offer an additional 20,000 people an opportunity to work with us,” Pomroy told The Telegraph. “There is no doubt the pandemic has had a huge impact on many people’s employment opportunities and threatened the future of high streets up and down the country. It’s a big responsibility, and the moves we’ve announced today reflect our commitment to continue to innovate and invest in the local communities and economies we serve.”
Then again, the McDonald’s CEO acknowledged that it is getting harder to recruit workers these days. He said this is definitely a problem not just in the restaurant and hospitality sector, but almost all businesses are experiencing this. However, this problem is wider in the restaurant sector.
New menu and layout for new restaurant outlets
As per The Guardian, along with the opening of additional branches of McDonald’s across the United Kingdom and Ireland, the restaurant will also be introducing new menu items for customers. It was reported that this includes a “Grab & Go” set breakfast option for customers who are always on the go and do not have time to spare.
What’s more, the restaurants will also feature new layouts to make the place flexible. The design will allow McDonald’s to adapt to the different ways customers use the outlets at different times of the day.
