Description
A new McDonald's restaurant is due to open in Liverpool creating 100 new jobs. This will be the first new McDonald's in Liverpool for 10 years, and is part of a scheme to regenerate the city. Applications are currently being taken for the new positions with the new restaurant scheduled for opening on 21 June 2017. Training for successful candidates will be done at another McDonald's before staff will move over to the new site. The new business will be notable in that it will offer table service, something not usually provided at McDonald's.
