A McDonald’s restaurant has had to cut back its opening hours, partly down to ‘staffing shortages’, BristolWorld understands.

The restaurant, off the Bath Road in Brislington, was open 24 hours, but now only operates around the clock on Friday and Saturdays.

For other days in the week, it closes at midnight, opening at 6am the following morning.

It is understood that a shortage in staffing is one of the reasons for the decision to reduce opening hoalthough McDonald’s would not confirm this.

A spokesperson said: “We can confirm that the opening hours at our Brislington restaurant have recently changed.

“The restaurant will continue to operate 24 hours a day on Fridays and Saturdays, while it will now open from 6am to midnight Sunday to Thursday.”

The restaurant is advertising full-time and part-time staff roles, including positions for only overnight shifts.

Pay starts at £9.60 an hour, and goes up to £11.60 for overnight hours.

The restaurant is the latest place to be hit by a staffing shortage.

Earlier this month, BristolWorld revealed that Greggs closed a story in The Galleries due to staff shortages.

McDonald’s operates 1,300 restaurants across the UK, including 10 across Bristol.
