AMERICAN fast-food giant McDonald’s are set to open the doors to their new restaurant on the Dodwells Island tomorrow.

Tomorrow, on March 4 at 11 am, the new branch of the famous ‘Golden arches’, McDonald’s will be serving their first customers.

McDonald’s Franchisee, Lorraine Lee spoke to Notizie about the new restaurant. Lee said: “Come on along, give us a go and give us a try. We’re ready. We’ve recruited 110 people and invested a lot of time into them and giving them training.

“I’ve still got staff with me from the McDonald’s branch that used to be based in The Borough in the town centre 20 years ago.”

The Dodwells Island in Hinckley has been the talking point surrounding traffic issues for a while in the area.

Lee said: “All we can do is make sure that our service is quick in the drive-thru, so that we don’t add to that.”

The restaurant sports some rather interesting features, such as a conveyor belt in the kitchen that runs from one end of the kitchen to the other.

The conveyor belt plays a massive part in speeding up the process when it comes to completing the customer’s orders.

In the past, while operating in ‘full tilt’, the main kitchen at another McDonald’s location were able to produce a whopping grand total of 150 sandwiches in 15 minutes.

However, this McDonald’s branch claim that they can ‘easily’ do higher than that.

The restaurant is home to a second floor and has additional seating upstairs.

Upstairs in the restaurant, there are four dining kiosks, a table service lift, and a lift, for those who have limited mobility access.

Table service lifts are used so that food comes directly from the downstairs kitchen upstairs so that it will be sure to get to the customers hot.

Whilst opening without a delivery service from the get go, Lee pledges that the restaurant is “future-proofed”.

The franchise are hoping to secure a deal with Uber Eats in the future, making sure that this is something they will be able to work with them on.
