A bug causing shutdowns.
McDonald's restaurants were affected this Friday by a "technological breakdown" in several countries which is "now resolved", Le Parisien learned from the McDonald's group.
The American media CNN mentions Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom in particular.
According to our information, France was also affected, but “the majority of
(French)
restaurants are now open”.
The proportion of restaurants still closed at midday in France remains unknown for the time being.
It's not I arrive at the McDonald's to work and I arrive everything is closed and since 8am there has been a general breakdown in all the McDonald's 😭

“We thank our customers for their patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
We would like to clarify that this problem is not linked to a cybersecurity event,” McDonald’s continues to Le Parisien.
This technical failure led to store closures and problems ordering online and on apps.

“McDo”, which has more than 1,500 establishments in France, has become the leading French restaurateur.
France is also the fast-food giant's second market after the United States.
The brand opens 30 to 50 restaurants per year in France.
“It’s a natural evolution, even if we don’t only open in rural areas,” McDonald’s France impact director Rémi Rocca commented on this subject to Le Parisien on March 10.
