Edinburgh McDonald's: Look inside ‘futuristic' McDonald's in Edinburgh city centre
The fast food chain's South Andrew Street branch has undergone a 'Convenience of the Future' redesign, which promises to enhance the customer experience for those taking advantage of the dine in table service option.
With consumers increasingly looking for greater speed, efficiency and choice when ordering their food, McDonald's ambitious 'Convenience of the Future' restaurant revamp programme combines a new restaurant layout with the latest technology to create a more seamless and enjoyable experience for customers.
Improvements have been made for restaurant crew with a redesign of the crew room which will create a more relaxing and comfortable space for them to take a well-deserved break.
While the traditional walk-in and Drive Thru remain core to how customers order, the redesign of McDonald's kitchen and dining areas as part of 'Convenience of the Future' will better integrate digital sales channels, the McDonald's App and make smarter use of internal space to enhance the dine in experience.
With dedicated areas for the different ways to order, along with the removal of the front counter, the revamp will offer a more efficient way to order and will leave customers with more space to enjoy their meal.

UK factories struggle as trade uncertainty, higher costs hit, PMI shows
LONDON, June 2 (Reuters) - The downturn in British manufacturing was less steep than first feared in May but output, orders and jobs continued to drop as companies cited recent tax hikes and U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, a survey showed on Monday. The final reading of the S&P Global UK manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), a measure of activity among factories, was 46.4 in May compared to 45.4 in April. It was the highest since February but remained below the 50 threshold for growth. The provisional PMI figure for May was 45.1. While the rates of contraction across new orders, output and exports eased, survey compiler S&P Global said the environment for manufacturers was still tough. "May PMI data indicate that UK manufacturing faces major challenges, including turbulent market conditions, trade uncertainties, low client confidence and rising tax-related wage costs," Rob Dobson, director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said. May's decline in output was linked to a reduced intake of new business as demand from domestic and overseas fell. The fall in exports orders was mainly linked to weaker demand from the U.S. and Europe. The survey showed 49% of manufacturers expected to see output increase over the coming year, slightly above 44% in April. Manufacturing firms cut employment at the fastest pace in three months in response to uncertain economic outlook - plus a rise in employers' social security contributions and 6.7% increase in the minimum wage that came into force in April. But there were signs that the worst of the inflation surge may have passed, S&P said, as the pace of increases in input costs and selling prices slowed.

Daniel Levy's right-hand woman LEAVES Tottenham as summer shakeup begins with Postecoglou's future also in doubt
TOTTENHAM executive director Donna Cullen has announced her departure from the club. Cullen had been on the Spurs board for almost 20 years before stepping down. 1 During that time, she became a close confidant of Daniel Levy and worked as his deputy. However, the executive director has now left the club to spend more time with her family. In a statement released on Monday morning, Cullen said: "This has been such a hard decision to make. The Club has been my life for the past three decades. "I have had the privilege of working with Daniel, whose vision and energy has driven the Club forward, and so many talented and wonderful colleagues. "It has been quite some journey, starting at White Hart Lane, with a brief stay at Wembley and finally our new home -amazing memories home and away. "Ending this season with the Europa League Trophy was a dream come true. "The time is now right for me to gather more time for myself and my family, whom I thank for all their support over the years. "I shall spend the coming months ensuring there is a smooth handover with my staff. Thank you all. I wish everyone at the Club all the success in the world." Meanwhile, Levy said: "Donna has made an immense contribution to the Club, over an extensive period. Her diverse responsibilities grew significantly and replacing her roles with a single individual will be impossible. "While many may associate her primarily with marketing and communications, Donna's impact extends far beyond those areas. Notably, her leadership and political acumen at planning committees, was instrumental in the Club being able to build one of the finest stadiums and training centres in the world. "She deserves recognition for the contribution she played in the formation of the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, which has positively impacted countless individuals in our communities, and in establishing the London Academy of Excellence, providing children with exceptional educational opportunities. "Donna has pushed the conscience of the Club to be at the forefront of environmental and diversity initiatives. She also played a crucial role in supporting the amateur part-time Spurs Ladies, enabling the development of our professional women's team. "Her daily input will be greatly missed, however she fully deserves to take time for herself, and I know that we shall be able to call upon her advice when needed. We wish her well for the future."

Families are racing to B&Q to snap up a £29 buy that's ideal for stress-free caravan holidays & beach days out
THRIFTY families are legging it to the nearest B&Q to bag a £29 buy for stress-free caravan holidays. The glorious summer season has finally arrived, which means sunny beach holidays or staying in a caravan for lots of family fun. 3 3 3 Now cash-savvy shoppers have spotted a bargain find that will make caravan stays and beach days a breeze - and it's under £30. According to one person, Cheryl Louise, the mega discount retailer B&Q is selling a foldable trolley for just £29. The trolley, which weighs just a little over a stone, is perfect for storing all of your beach days essentials, towels, snacks, water - and more. Some thrifty customers have also stated that the foldable trolley is sturdy enough to carry their little ones around - of a maximum of 12.5 stone weight limit. The affordable B&Q bargain boasts an impressive 120l capacity, a strong steel frame, as well as anti-skid tyres. What's more, it can also be folded back together in just three seconds faff-free. So whether you're off to the beach, a camping site, want to organise a picnic or plan the ultimate caravan holiday for your family this summer, this B&Q bargain is sure to be a life-saver. 'We were gifted one and it's great' The post has clearly impressed many, as it's already racked up close to 215 likes in less than 24 hours. More than 300 social media users flooded to comments where they tagged their friends and family, with many raving about the summer must-have. Scotland's number one secret beach revealed One person said: ''We could do with this for caravan days at the beach.'' A mum chimed in: ''Thank you for sharing! This will be perfect for Disneyland Paris for when my two get tired and it's the cheapest I've ever seen them!'' A third only had rave reviews to share, writing: ''We was gifted one today and it's great!'' Why caravan holidays are so underrated CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple. And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break. Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated... WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun. She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays. As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday. No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. I still love caravan holidays as an adult. In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics. There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade. My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. And then, of course, there's the cost. Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad. I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day. ''What a cracking price,'' someone else couldn't believe the offer. More B&Q bargains to look for If you've decided to race to the local B&Q this week, there are also plenty of other buys to look for, such as this incredible £5 plant that will keep flowering until the first frost. The much-loved retailer is also selling a ''lovely'' fire pit with BBQ grill that costs just £25 and will be perfect for garden parties.
