McDonald’s Serving Breakfast 24/7


McDonald’s recently announced that breakfast will be served at any time of the day, beginning Oct 6. Currently, the restaurant chain stops serving breakfast menu items at 10:30 a.m. According to a press statement, released by McDonald’s on Sept 1, more than 120,000 people in the past year have tweeted to McDonalds’s asking for all-day breakfast.

“I’m excited that I don’t have to rush to McDonald’s in the morning to get my hash browns,” Adriana Esparza, 19, communications major, said.

McDonald’s included on their website that the all-day menu will be limited to only a couple breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, and sides. McDonald’s will serve either McMuffin or biscuit sandwiches not both depending on local preferences. Pancakes, sausage burritos, yogurt, and oatmeal will also be on the menu.

“I am upset that mcgriddles aren’t an option for the 24 hour McDonald’s breakfast menu. They are my favorite,” Sarah Smith, 20, history major, said.

McDonald’s is limiting the menu to prevent kitchens from getting overwhelmed by cooking breakfast and burgers at the same time, The Business Insider reported on Sept 10.

“It comes down to the sheer size of kitchen grills,” the company stated on its website. “They simply don’t have the room for all of our menu options at one time- especially considering we use our grill to prepare many items on our breakfast menu.”
