New drive-thru McDonalds to create 120 jobs in Larne

A new drive-thru McDonald’s in Larne is to create at least 120 jobs, from crew member to managerial including full and part time positions.

The 80-seater restaurant will offer customers table service and mobile ordering dining options, utilising mobile app technology and partnering with Uber Eats.

The My McDonald’s app will provide contact-free ordering for dine-in, Drive Thru and takeaway offerings, allowing customers to browse the menu at their own leisure as well as customise their order.

Franchisee Paddy Cusack, above right, said: “This major investment in Larne reflects McDonald’s commitment to growing its business in NI and will create significant levels of employment, both directly and indirectly through the agri-food, manufacturing and construction sectors.

“At McDonald’s, we are committed to serving and supporting our local communities. The business has a long history of always trying to improve and be better, uniting people to make a difference where it really matters to the people in local communities. That’s why we are helping drive change across our business – from farms to front counter – by having a particular focus on sustainability, the local environment and community, with an overall aim of being climate net zero across our entire UK & Ireland business by 2040.

“Through our commitment to opening new doors through training, work experience and fair employment opportunities, we will help one million people gain new skills and access new jobs across the UK & Ireland by the end of the decade. We very much look forward to feeding and fostering local communities in Larne and the wider area in the months and years ahead.”

Located beside Circular Road roundabout, the new Larne restaurant, which opens on May 25, brings McDonald’s portfolio of restaurants to 34 across Northern Ireland.
