On Dec. 24, McDonald's Japan will stop selling large and medium-sized packets of fries. The cause is due to a disruption in the supply chain in western Canada in November. Heavy rains have impeded the process of shipping North American potatoes to Japan, and supplies of potatoes are not arriving on time. The company is implementing a new training software called "eSmart," which will help newly recruited staff provide more efficient customer service.
The application offers coupons and other valuable information, and can even skip the line. It's also easy to navigate, and offers great deals. It provides nutritional information about the ingredients in each of its menu items. It also supports contactless payment, which means you can order without a queue. This application is available in Japanese, but is also available in English. If you don't speak Japanese, you can download it from the App Store.
McDonald's Japan launched the first McDonald's in Ginza, Tokyo in 1971. The restaurant became one of the first in Asia and introduced the Teriyaki McBurger and Chicken Tatsuta. The company's founder, Fujita, explained that the Japanese were yellow because they only ate fish and that they should try eating hamburgers. Since then, the company has become one of the largest fast-food chains in Japan, with over 3,000 outlets in the country.
