You can now dine-in at these four McDonald's restaurants in Chesterfield

In total, around 700 restaurants will reopen with dine-in options and customers will be able to enjoy their McDonald’s favourites inside the restaurant. The Chesterfield branches reopening their sit-in areas are Barlborough, Chesterfield, Claycross – Derby Road and Markham Vale.

Social distancing measures will be in place and, to prevent congestion, the restaurant will carefully manage the number of customers inside.

When arriving, customers will be asked to use the hand sanitiser provided and follow the safety measures laid out in restaurants to help keep them, other customers and restaurant teams safe.

Food will be served by table-service only with customers able to order directly to their table via the My McDonald’s App, at the till or kiosk.

In line with Government guidance, McDonald’s will be asking customers that choose to eat-in to leave their contact details by using their smart phone to either scan a QR code taking them to a dedicated web page or visiting that web page directly with the URL details provided on each table.

Customers will also be asked to leave the name of the lead member and the number of people within their group, a phone number, the date and time of visit and the restaurant number (identified on each table sticker).

McDonald’s additional safety guidelines include, Clear floor-markings and signposting inside and outside restaurants to help enable social distancing, and touch-points including self-order screens, card readers and doors will be sanitised at least every 30 minutes.

Perspex screens have been installed in the kitchens, service areas and Drive-thru windows and additional protective equipment like face coverings has been provided for restaurant teams, including disposable gloves for people in customer and courier facing positions.

There will be fewer staff on each shift and customers are encouraged to use contactless payment methods as much as possible.

Reopening the dine-in area will enable some restaurants to take part in the Chancellor’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme, offering 50% off dine-in bills, and up to £10 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in August.

Further details will be shared on the website and via the My McDonald’s app.
