McDonald’s has started a plan to announce nutrition facts for the food and drinks it serves in Vietnam, where the world’s largest restaurant chain launched the first restaurant three months ago.

The Ho Chi Minh City-based Good Day Hospitality Company, also called McDonald’s Vietnam under a franchise agreement from McDonald’s, is working with Vietnamese authorities on the plan and expects to announce the facts within one year from this month, said McDonald’s Vietnam communications manager Le Ha My Tram.

She said this while Good Day Hospitality general manager Nguyen Huy Thinh was announcing the second McDonald’s Vietnam restaurant, located in Ho Chi Minh City’s heart, would open on May 16. Publicising the nutrition facts aims to help customers know about nutrition they are taking in.

The second restaurant, open 24/7 like the first one also in district 1, occupies three floors covering a total area of 660m2 and has a seating capacity of 260 seats – 180 indoor and 80 outdoor – in a scenic terrace across from September 23 Park next to Ben Thanh Market.

Instead of a drive-thru service available at the first restaurant, the second outlet has a “To Go” counter that allows customers to order and pick-up their food, beverages and desserts quickly without having to step inside the restaurant. The counter enables customers order their meals on the go with their motorbikes. The Ben Thanh store will serve McCafé coffee after the grand opening period of a month. McCafé is currently available at the first restaurant.
