Chain blames poor harvest in Russia and difficulty in importing potatoes because of supply chain disruptions
Excitement was on the menu when former McDonald’s restaurants reopened inlast month under new management and branding, but the successor to the golden-arched throne has a problem: a shortage of french fries.
The new ownership, however, now faces problems securing supplies of potatoes, blaming a poor harvest in Russia and difficulty in importing potatoes because of supply chain disruptions. But after customers last week began posting pictures of menus without fries, Vkusno & tochka said it would be leaving fries and potato wedges off the menus of some of the newly opened restaurants until the autumn.
“Potatoes will return to the chain’s menu in full at the beginning of the next harvest year, autumn 2022,” it said.
