Caption: McDonald’s Plans to Get Rid of Self-Serve Soda Machines. The fast-food giant announced that it will phase out their self-serve soda machines by 2032. The removal is an attempt to create a consistent experience through all their restaurants for both customers and workers when it comes to soda. According to CNN, customer behavior changed after the pandemic, with many opting to go through the drive-thru or order online. This has caused fewer customers to choose to eat inside the restaurant, which has resulted in McDonald’s claiming they do not need the self-serve machines anymore. In their most recent earning’s report, McDonald’s said 40% of their total sales are made up of digital orders through their own app or other services like Uber Eats. McDonald’s future restaurant designs prioritize high-tech drive-thrus and will have smaller dining areas. The fast food company also teased new, smaller restaurants called, "CosMc’s". "There’s a number of places around the US where we are significantly underdeveloped relative to where the population exists today.", CEO Chris Kempczinski, via CNN. "That opens up for us a whole bunch of development opportunities for us to go after.", CEO Chris Kempczinski, via CNN. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
