On the ground floor of McDonald’s new headquarters building in Chicago, its restaurant is now featuring menu items from the fast-food chain’s businesses from around the world.
Among the items on the menu are the Mighty Angus Burger from Canada, the McSpicy Chicken Sandwich from Hong Kong, Cheese & Bacon Loaded Fries from Australia, the Mozza Salad from France and the McFlurry Prestigio dessert from Brazil. International items will be rotated on a regular basis. The restaurant also offers choices such as Big Macs and Chicken McNuggets that are familiar to McDonald’s patrons in the U.S.
The new restaurant, which offers table service, is one of McDonald’s Experience of the Future (EOTF) models. McDonald’s plans to transform most of its U.S. locations to the EOTF format by 2020. While it doesn’t have a drive-through, the restaurant has designated spaces in front for customers to pick up online orders. Customers can also have orders delivered from the restaurant via UberEats.
“Everything we have done to modernize the brand over the past several years is exhibited in this restaurant,” Robert Gibbs, McDonald’s chief spokesperson, told Eater.
