How McDonald's is ensuring safety, hygiene and deliciousness post re-opening

After a six-month-long COVID-19 led lockdown on restaurants, Westlife Development, the company that owns and operates McDonald’s restaurants in West and South India is all set to reopen its doors for customers in Maharashtra.

The company has left no stone unturned to ensure a completely safe and hygienic experience for its employees and customers. It is re-starting the dine-in service with its Golden Guarantee platform.

This Golden Guarantee platform by McDonald’s India West and South encapsulates 42 top-notch safety and hygiene processes that the company has added to their already world-class practices. These new processes ensure that the food is prepared and served without being touched by bare hands. They also ensure contactless operations, frequent sanitization, social distancing and usage of all required protective gears across dine-in, delivery and take-out channels, thus making sure that both employees and customers remain safe, every step of the way.

“The dine-in operations in the state are opening after more than 6 months and we are committed to making the experience completely safe, hygienic and special for our customers. In the wake of the ongoing health crisis, we have put in place global SoPs, created new processes and adhered to all Government mandates to ensure complete safety for both our customers and our people. We thank our customers for the trust and love they have shown for us so far and hope to keep delighting them going forward,” shared Saurabh Kalra, Chief Operating Officer, McDonald’s India (West and South).
