Today is not a good day for McDonald’s as there is news that they have some sort of IT issue is crippling the fast food chain worldwide:
System failures at McDonald’s were reported worldwide Friday, shuttering some restaurants for hours and leading to social media complaints from customers, in what the fast food chain called a “technology outage” that was being fixed.
Chicago-based McDonald’s Corp. said the problems were not related to a cybersecurity attack, without giving more details on what caused them.
“We are aware of a technology outage, which impacted our restaurants; the issue is now being resolved,” the burger giant said in a statement. “We thank customers for their patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
That’s not a very reassuring statement and it’s kind of vague. It makes me wonder what the issue is. And for the record, the fact that they say it’s not a cybersecurity incident doesn’t mean that it isn’t one and they either don’t know or don’t want to admit to it. Hopefully whatever the cause of this, the fast food chain is transparent about what actually is the cause.
Meanwhile on Twitter:
The repetitional damage to McDonald’s because people can’t get their Big Macs is going to be huge.
