Some McDonald’s restaurants in Ukraine have temporarily switched to a reduced menu due to delays in product deliveries caused by frequent and prolonged air raid alerts. The company has stated that the menu will be determined individually for each outlet, so the availability of a particular dish may vary. Items will be reinstated once supplies have stabilised.
Briefly about the main points
- The restrictions apply only to some of the chain’s restaurants.
- Ongoing disruptions are delaying the delivery of products to establishments.
- There is no single list of dishes that have been removed from the menu across the entire chain.
- You can check the current product range in the app or via delivery services.
- Items will be added once a stable supply has been restored.
The reduced menu should retain the most popular dishes
У McDonald's They explained that the temporary adjustment to the menu should help ensure a steady supply of the most popular dishes. The company had already reported logistical delays a few days ago: the unrest is affecting the delivery schedules for products to its outlets.
This is not about constantly changing the product range policy, but rather an operational measure to be taken during supply disruptions. The company is working with a logistics partner to stabilise supplies.
The availability of dishes depends on the stock at the restaurant in question
There is no single list of items that have been removed from all restaurants. The reduced menu is put together depending on the availability of products at a particular outlet, so a dish that is unavailable at one McDonald’s may be available at another.
Patrons at some restaurants in Kyiv and the surrounding region have reported a temporary shortage of chips, nuggets, certain burgers and other popular items. However, the chain has not announced that these dishes have been completely removed from the menu across Ukraine.
Before placing an order, the company advises customers to check the menu of their chosen restaurant via the McDonald’s app, delivery services or directly at the restaurant.
The full menu will be reinstated once supplies are back to normal
McDonald’s has not specified a date for the return of its full range of products. According to the company, items will be added to the menu gradually, as soon as supplies become stable.
Air raid alerts also have a direct impact on the network: whilst the threat persists, staff suspend restaurant operations, evacuate customers and proceed to a shelter. Therefore, before visiting or ordering a delivery, it is worth considering not only the availability of dishes but also the possibility of service being interrupted.
