MCDONALD’S is the talk of the town after opening its new restaurant.

The restaurant, based at the former Emperor’s Court site in Manchester Road, opened for business on November 15.

The opening forms part of the fast food chain’s ‘major brand refresh’, which includes its restaurants and its menu.

The new restaurant with contain digital features designed to benefit everyone. To improve the speed and ease of ordering, customers will have the option to use one of the restaurant’s self-order kiosks.

These will allow customers to browse the menu, look at nutritional information and personalise their meals, giving people more time to consider their food and drink choices.

The restaurant has been designed with customer needs in mind, and the dedicated dining room hosts will ensure the process is as quick and easy as possible.

Table service will also be available in the new restaurant to take the stress out of finding somewhere to sit when carrying food, potentially with children, bags and buggies.

In restaurants where table service is currently available, McDonald’s say customer feedback has been positive, particularly with families who enjoy the ease of not having to leave children unattended while queuing.

The opening has created more than 100 new jobs.

While residents have been flocking to the new fast food restaurant, not everyone has been loving it.

There have been numerous reports of increased traffic along Manchester Road, particularly coming towards the Chesterway roundabout.

Concerns have also been raised about potential littering. The fast food chain said previously that it will deploy daily litter patrols.
