A fast food restaurant is to reopen after a major makeover, with the creation of 20 new jobs.

McDonald’s in Princes Road, Dartford, which has been shut while it undergoes a redesign and is set to be operating from Wednesday (July 10).

Its Convenience of the Future restaurant revamp is aiming to combine a new layout with the latest technology to create a more seamless, faster and enjoyable experience for customers.

There will be a McDelivery only area, allowing delivery drivers to go in and out of a dedicated courier entrance and service area.

This will help them collect orders more efficiently, reduce congestion in the dining area and give walk-in takeaway and dining customers more space.

The eatery will also include some innovations including LED lighting and wall graphics made from recycled coffee beans, floor and wall tiles.

Greg Abbott, who owns and operates nine McDonald’s restaurants in Kent, said: “The company is always looking into ways to improve the customer experience and by investing in these changes in my restaurant, we’ll be doing just that.

“I’m proud to say the investment will also create 20 new roles for local people. I can’t wait to welcome my customers back into the restaurant to experience the changes first-hand.”
