McDonald’s cuts opening hours, closes 38 outlets

McDonald’s on Monday said it is shortening the opening hours for the majority of its 245 outlets in Hong Kong, while 38 branches will close altogether temporarily.

The fast food giant said it is adjusting the business hours because the Covid pandemic has seriously affected manpower and logistics.

Ninety of its branches will close at 6pm, while others will also shut earlier than usual.

The company said on its Facebook page that its overnight services will be suspended and warned that waiting times at restaurants will be longer and that the supply of certain products isn’t stable.

McDonald’s said it hopes to maintain a minimum service in each district and it apologises for the inconvenience caused.
