August 08, 2016

KANSAS CITY – The Kansas City Star reports that the “McDonald’s of the Future” officially opened its doors in St. Joseph, Missouri, complete with table service and all-you-can-eat fries.

“I’m an entrepreneur, and it’s about being creative and taking risks,” McDonald’s franchisee and owner of the new restaurant, Chris Habiger, told the new source. “The demand has been off the charts, and we are doing the best we can to take care of our customers as quickly as possible. But it has been outstanding how many people are as excited about the McDonald’s of the Future as we are.”

Menu items offer more grilled options and gourmet sauces like pico guacamole, and toppings allow for customization of burgers and chicken sandwiches. Customers can place their orders via large kiosks or from the traditional counter; and there is a separate counter for McCafé beverages and a new dessert bar, which features signature sundaes, twist cones and a variety of toppings.

The restaurant offers armchairs and couches for patrons to relax, and an interactive play area for kids is three stories with digital and projection games.

Habiger held a press conference back in April announcing the new McDonald’s concept, and a Facebook page has plenty of video and pictures that showcase the restaurant from its ground-breaking to the grand opening.
