It has been designed to combine a new layout with the latest technology. That includes dedicated areas for ordering and the removal of the front counters to make more space.

Anne Wainwright who owns and operates nine McDonald’s restaurants in West Yorkshire said: “I am thrilled to reveal the new Convenience of the Future re-design of the Dewsbury Road restaurant – especially as McDonald’s celebrates its 50th year in the UK.

"The new dining area now boasts a more contemporary design, complete with separate facilities for both our dine in customers and couriers. The changes and new look and feel of the restaurant will not only benefit our customers but also our restaurant crew as the new facilities will create a better environment for them to work in."

While the traditional walk-in and Drive-Thru remain, bosses said the re-design of the kitchens and dining areas would make smarter use of internal space. 

Other planned improvements include dedicated courier waiting areas and a new kitchen design with more room to prepare orders.
