McDonald’s delivery only kitchen open at Preston Docks

McDonald's delivery kitchen employees — The new kitchen has created 25 jobs

A brand-new McDonald’s delivery kitchen has opened at Preston Docks.

The kitchen, located in Chain Caul Way, will be open between 7am and 10.45pm seven days a week for app delivery orders only.

Delivery will be made within a nine-minute drive radius, covering most of Preston and its suburbs.

The new kitchen has created 25 new full and part-time jobs and has opened to support nearby restaurants in meeting demand from McDelivery orders.

While the delivery kitchen isn’t open to the public, it appears as an ordering option on apps such as Deliveroo, JustEat and UberEATS.

The kitchen looks and feels the same as other McDonald’s kitchens, and a large staff room with a smart TV and Wi-Fi will be available for workers during breaks.

The opening follows investment from local franchisee Nigel Dunnington.

Nigel said: “We’re delighted to be opening a McDelivery Kitchen in Preston and we’re keen to improve our delivery service.

“Due to the nature of this kitchen, we can prepare our orders faster than ever. It means that this should be our customers’ first point of call when ordering, and that the food is hotter and fresher upon arrival.

“The delivery kitchen will enable us to focus on our McDelivery orders and for our Preston Riversway restaurant to focus back on our dine-in customers.”
