London 2012 Olympics: McDonald's provide sneak preview of Olympic Park restaurant The central flagship restaurant, staffed with nearly 500 employees during the Olympics, is one of the chain's four Olympic Park restaurants, all of which offer more menu choices than at any previous Games. "We'll be serving the broadest menu we've ever provided at an Olympic Games, thanks to the continued evolution of our menu, our long-standing British supply chain, and the technology we have in place to handle the highly complex Olympic catering challenge," McDonald added. The firm says it will collect all used cooking oil from the restaurant and recycle it in a special blend of biodiesel that fuels over half of its UK delivery trucks. Customers visiting the Olympic Park restaurant will be able to choose express lanes with hand-held order taking and McDonald's has also organised for 2,000 employees to undergo an extensive training programme preparing them for the heavy traffic expected during the Games. McDonald's expect to serve over 1.75 million meals during the Games" 29 days and the flagship Olympic Park restaurant is one of approximately 15 new McDonald's restaurants scheduled to open countrywide within this year.
