McDonald’s Experiences Global System Failure, Impacting Stores and Online Orders
McDonald’s, the popular fast-food chain, has been hit by a global system failure, causing disruptions in stores and online orders in several countries. The issue, however, is not related to a cybersecurity event, as confirmed by the company.
The outage has been reported in several countries, including the US, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and the UK. In response to the problem, some McDonald’s stores in Japan, UK, and Australia were forced to temporarily suspend operations. Employees had to resort to taking orders in person during the outage.
In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the issue primarily affected mobile ordering and kiosks, but has since been resolved. The McDelivery service in Taiwan was also temporarily suspended due to the system failure.
McDonald’s is actively investigating the situation and making necessary repairs to rectify the issue. The company, which has over 41,800 stores worldwide, with the largest market being in the US, is working to ensure that operations return to normal as soon as possible.
Countries with a significant number of McDonald’s restaurants, such as Japan, UK, and Australia, were among those heavily impacted by the system failure. The story has been updated with additional information, including reports from the affected countries.
Customers and employees are advised to stay tuned for further updates from McDonald’s as they work to resolve the global system failure and resume normal operations.
