retail outlets serving the area at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is hoped the new McDonald\u2019s will be a valuable and significant&nbsp;addition to the leisure experience in an area of Glasgow that has witnessed dramatic transformation \u2013 and herald the arrival of other, similar outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is part of&nbsp;McDonald&#8217;s &#8220;Experience of the Future&#8221; framework and adheres to the &#8220;Wood and Stone&#8221; decor&nbsp;theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The restaurant also boasts a double \u2013 or &#8220;side-by-side&#8221; \u2013 drive-thru, which allows customers&#8217; orders to be&nbsp;delivered quicker and more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the drive-thru is of the &#8220;Fast Forward&#8221; type, which cuts queuing times for customers by providing a third service window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the previous&nbsp;set-up, customers placed their orders at a kiosk on entering the drive-thru, then drove&nbsp;up to one of two windows&nbsp;to&nbsp;pick up their food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if orders weren&#8217;t ready, the system occasionally became backed-up, resulting in delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, a&nbsp;third window comes into play&nbsp;if orders aren\u2019t ready, easing pressure on staff and customers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first &#8220;Fast Forward&#8221; drive-thrus in Scotland was introduced at the&nbsp;<a
