A big mac is only ~500kCal? Seems low, somehow. Some of the Burger King ones are pushing 1000.
Wasn't there a Monday Link about a burger being left for months and NOT changing at all?

I can only imagine how good a McWhopper would be.

That is one pile of absolute tulipe.
In 10 minutes "a regular Big Mac (with cheese and sauce) contains 540 calories (in the UK this is 508 calories) and raises your blood sugar levels to abnormal levels."
It has 36 calories from sugar.
I would have to eat about 20 big macs in half an hour to get my blood sugar to 'abnormal' levels.

If it works, delivery of McD would be wonderful... having to rely on dodgy takeaways for burgers just isn't the same somehow.
But the chips would go all bendy

Delivery service makes a lot of sense.
Not sure about the Table service, they really can't get the throughput surely?

They're going all healthy here: Weltpremiere: McDonald's bringt jetzt Bio-Burger - DIE WELT
I don't know if they do special burger weeks in the UK but both McDonalds and Burger King do them here. We've had them with Quinoa, Kale and at the moment there are ones with Apple Chutney: https://www.mcdonalds.de/produkte/wildekueche
A delivery service is also planned!

They quite often do table service round here, but generally that's just because they don't have the "fast" part down, and a scrum 4-deep at the tills of people waiting for their food isn't great.
Same happens with the drive-through... you get to go and sit in your car in the car-park until someone brings you the food.
Not sure why this happens... over-complicated menus?
