McDonald's opened its first restaurant in Bukovel. The venue is located in the village of Polianytsia, near key tourist attractions and recreation areas. This is the 131-th network location operating in Ukraine, and the 10-th restaurant opened this year.
The company announced the opening of the new venue in a comment to the publication Ekonomichna Pravda. In the network's press service they noted that the new restaurant is part of a strategy to expand the brand's presence across the country.
"McDonald's continues to invest and expand its presence in Ukraine to be closer to customers in cities, on highways, and in popular tourist locations," the company said in a statement.
The area of the new McDonald's in Bukovel is nearly 477 sq. m, and it is designed for about 280 seats. The dining room will operate daily from 7:00 to 23:00, and the McDrive will operate from 5:00 to 23:30.
The network clarified that since the start of the full-scale invasion the company has opened 43 new locations. In the new Polianytsia venue all modern McDonald's service channels will be available.
Safety rules are followed during alerts
The company emphasized that all McDonald's restaurants in Ukraine operate in compliance with enhanced safety rules. During an air raid alert, venues temporarily suspend operations so staff and customers can move to the nearest shelter, and resume service only after the all-clear.
The network stressed that employees receive full pay regardless of the time spent in shelter during a shift. This rule applies in all company venues across the country, including the new restaurant in Bukovel.
Earlier, Informator reported that McDonald's will not change restaurant operating modes during a yellow alert for now, as the network is studying how the new alert level distribution system will work in practice. We also wrote that the company launched "Ukrainian Weeks" at McDonald's — a limited product series with new burgers, rustic potatoes, and chicken wings.
