McDonald's opens 200th restaurant in SA

Built from light steel and fibre cement, which reduces material wastage by 30% and transport costs by 80%, McDonald's Oxford building is endorsed by the Green council. LSFB restaurants cool down and re-heat faster than conventional buildings, making them a more comfortable environment for customers. The carbon footprint of the building is also significantly reduced.

Built on stilts, McDonald's Oxford is a double story building with a drive-thru and 21 parking bays - 10 of which are underground. The kitchen is equipped with a 12m conveyor belt to transport food to the drive-thru presenter's window on the ground floor. The restaurant seats 57 people - there are 45 seats inside and 12 seats on the balcony. Customers can also enjoy free Wifi internet access, family-friendly amenities like children's Playplace and party rooms and McCafe.

McDonald's South Africa opened its first restaurant in South Africa in November 1995. Today, McDonald's SA operates 200 restaurants in all nine provinces and employs over 10,000 South Africans across the country. Currently more than 80% of all food served in McDonald's restaurants is produced by local suppliers.
