System outages at McDonald’s have been reported worldwide, shuttering some restaurants and leading to social media complaints, while other locations have returned to functioning after the failures, with people ordering and getting their food at locations in Bangkok, Milan and London.
McDonald’s in Japan posted on X, formerly Twitter, that “operations are temporarily out at many of our stores nationwide,” calling it “a system failure” and apologizing for the inconvenience.
The website Downdetector also reported a spike in problems with the McDonald’s app in the last several hours.
There were no immediate reports of problems in Israel.
“We are aware of a technology failure that has affected our restaurants. The issue has now been resolved and our restaurants are open,” Fannie Pramming, communications manager for McDonald’s Denmark, said in a statement to The Associated Press.
“The issue is not related to a cybersecurity incident,” Pramming said.
