McDonald's Malaysia plans to train about 30 franchisees in the next three years and is inviting more people to join in.

The company's franchise programme would involve an investment of nearly RM4 million for the opening of a new restaurant, said senior director Chan Chee Chin after the opening of McDonald's Drive-In at Wakaf Che Yeh in Kota Baru today.

"We encourage more Malaysians to join us through the franchise system and those interested can contact us on the website," he said.

McDonald's Malaysia has 194 restaurants nationwide and three of them in Kelantan. Of the total, 21 are run by 10 franchisees.

Chan said a new operator would undergo a six-month training before opening the restaurant. -- Bernama
