Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman has taken a look at Huddersfield’s revamped McDonald’s restaurant.

Franchisee Pritpal Singh gave Mr Sheerman the low-down on the work to transform the restaurant at Kirkgate – which has created five jobs.

The work, which coincided with the 25th anniversary of the restaurant, included a high-tech makeover – making it one of the first in the country to feature innovative self-service ordering kiosks, digital menu boards and tables with Samsung tablets built in for customers to enjoy.

The redesign also includes McDonald’s signature style with a bright, modern interior and exterior design, comfortable seating and free Wi-Fi.

McDonald’s employees also benefit from improved kitchen facilities and a new “crew room” with comfortable seating, a television and a computer. Crew can use the area to study for nationally recognised qualifications in maths or English.

“My staff and I were really pleased to have the opportunity to welcome Barry Sheerman into our newly transformed restaurant,” said Pritpal. “He got the chance to see the new look and feel of the restaurant and he even took the opportunity to place an order via one of our new self-service ordering kiosks.”
