McDonald’s and Samsung installing tablets across UK restaurants
July 23, 2025
Forget supersizing your Big Mac combo. McDonald’s has an even better plan to keep people around and kids busy – tablets. Maybe the games are no longer enough in the digital age, right? Either way, McDonald’s andSamsunghave partnered to install tablets in most UK restaurants.
This move is part of the company’s “Experience of the future” program, which aims to offer customers an experience closer to the way they live.
The world-renown burger joint will be using software customized by a company named SOTI, and these devices will come pre-installed with games, social media and other applications that will allow users to browse the web. I suppose this means it won’t be a pure Android experience… or will it be running Android at all? We will have to wait and see.
It’s also not clear which tablets will be hitting your McDonald’s booths. What we do know is they will likely have to be cleaned often, though; ketchup, grease and soda are bound to make a bad combination with tech.
McDonald’s is no stranger to new tech initiatives. In fact, they seem to be pretty supportive of new technologies, and this move clearly proves it. They have also been known to bebig mobile payment supporters, as well asmaking VR headsets easily available to customers.
Now we just have to wonder when these tablets will be reaching the USA, or any other parts of the world. I mean, McDonald’s is kind of everywhere! What do you guys think? Would you be down for some quick social media while grubbing on that Big Mac?
