McDonald’s bosses have teased the return of their delivery service and their breakfast menu in Scotland.
Last week, pictures from across the country showed hundreds of hungry residents queuing up for drive-thru at the fast food restaurant as they reopened for the first time since coronavirus lockdown began.
Currently, unlike pre-lockdown, there is no delivery service available.
But, according to the Mirror, the ‘McDelivery’ will be “back on” in more than 500 branches next week – using apps Uber Eats and Just Eat.
They also revealed that the breakfast menu will return “within a few weeks”.
The fast food chain has already opened up 852 restaurants for drive-thru across the UK, as well as 56 for delivery and another 26 for both.
In an email to customers seen by tabloid, Paul Pomroy, Chief Executive Officer of McDonald's UK, said: "Next week we will switch McDelivery back on in over 500 restaurants, with the help of our delivery partners Uber Eats and Just Eat.
"As with our Drive-thru operations, it might take a little longer. We expect demand to once again be high and both of these factors might impact service times.
"But I know you'll continue to show the patience we've seen all week and I thank you again for your understanding.
"I hope that within a few weeks we will be able to start trialling breakfast service."
No list of the branches set to run the delivery service have yet been released.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
