McDonald’s restaurants hit by technology outage at outlets across Australia
McDonald’s restaurants are facing an international technology outage with the fast food giant working to resolve the issue.
“We are aware of a technology outage currently impacting our restaurants nationwide and are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible,” a McDonald’s Australia spokesperson said in a statement.
“We apologise for the inconvenience and thank customers for their patience.”
In a post to X, a customer said food and electronic payment was still available. Another customer said it was “impossible to buy anything” via drive-through or online.
@abcnews Maccas is down, looks like the system has crashed. No problem, food is still available and you can pay electronically but not via the app it seems. pic.twitter.com/Kcjcc6ZVRg

The outage was also hitting Japan, with McDonald’s Japan’s X account confirming there was a “system failure” impacting stores.
“We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and ask that you please wait for a while until the service is restored,” a translation of the social media post read.
