Restaurants Extend Hours for Festive Business
Some restaurants in India are staying open later during the Christmas season to make more money.
McDonald's has added four new stores that are open 24 hours and has extended the hours of more than 30 other stores.
They have seen more people coming in during the late-night hours, which is good for their business.
This is a way for restaurants to take advantage of the festive nights and serve more customers.
McDonald's India added four new 24-hour stores this Christmas season.
Over 30 stores extended operating hours by an average of 1.5 hours.
Footfall in late-night hours increased by over 20% at McDonald's stores.
The extension aims to capture the late-night crowd during the festive season.
This strategy is part of a broader trend among quick-service chains to maximize business during holidays.
