McDonald's Singapore has launched an initiative to get diners to set aside their mobile phones and spend more time interacting with others at the table. The fast-food firm said on Monday that it has set up a mobile phone locker at its Marine Cove outlet in East Coast Park, so customers can stow away their devices during mealtimes. The Phone Off, Fun On initiative, a first for the restaurant, is aimed at promoting family bonding, said McDonald's, which also conducted a survey with over 300 parents on the prevalence of mobile device use during mealtimes.
