"Reliability and stability of our technology are a priority, and I know how frustrating it can be when there are outages. I understand that this impacts you, your restaurant teams and our customers," Brian Rice, the company's global chief information officer, said in a statement. Some McDonald's restaurants were operating normally again after the outage, with people ordering and getting their food at locations in Bangkok, Milan and London.
It was not immediately clear how many restaurants were impacted globally by the technology outage. McDonald's did not respond to a request for comment.
