The Star City McDonald's is part of a franchise on the side of Birmingham that I grew up in. I shared many a happy meal with mates and teenage boyfriends on that side of town before I grew up and everything had to be shared with two humans. Before we tried out the new My McDonald's app I got chatting to some of the staff and it was lovely to hear about how working there fits in with their different lifestyles. We also enjoyed a frantic game of Angry Birds on one of the new special 'magic' tables. Over the moon that we could play rather than just watching our little ones have all the fun. These tables have a range of different games the kids can play and correspond with whatever Happy Meal is running at that time.
I also got chance to try the My McDonald's app which blew my mind. Once you download the app you can order your food on the way to the restaurant. Upon arrival, by some sort of magic (or probably technology I do not understand) the staff start to make up your order when you step through the door. My favourite thing about the app is that you can store orders. So if like me you haven't changed what you eat in 15 years you can pop it on there. It's also really great to keep a log of specific orders that your children may have without always having to search for them in the branch. I can't wait to show Stephen. This is the kind of gadget he lives for.
It was brilliant to grab my lap top and answer some emails whilst waiting for my food to be delivered and I will for sure be visiting again to get some work done on days I feel like I need to get out of the house. McDonald's will always be a place we love to visit with the children and now I feel with table service and the magic My McDonald's app it is going to be even easier. Thanks so much to McDonald's for inviting me down and if you would like to find out any further information please do not hesitate to check out their site here.
