        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t get your hopes up about having a parfait at McDonald&#8217;s anytime soon.</p><p>The fast food juggernaut has informed franchisees that items that fell victim to streamlined menus during the coronavirus pandemic will remain on the sidelines for now.</p><p>That means diners will need to keep waiting if they want to get grilled chicken, a salad or bagel at the golden arches, the <strong>Wall Street Journal reported</strong>.</p><p>But certain fan favorites will be making a comeback, including two variations of its Quarter Pounder sandwich as well as the new Bacon McDouble. Soft-serve vanilla ice cream cones will also be back in time for summer.</p><p>McDonald&#8217;s executives said the simplified menu has helped improve its operations, according to the Journal, cutting 25 seconds off of its average drive-through waits. Customers also reported in surveys that &#8220;their food was better and their orders were more accurate,&#8221; the report said.</p><p>“Our menu strategy really has been focused as a result of Covid and the success we’ve had with a limited menu,” McDonald’s US president Joe Erlinger said on a call with franchisees.</p><p>McDonald&#8217;s in March streamlined its menu by cutting more than 100 items — including its <strong>popular all-day breakfast menu</strong> — in an effort to &#8220;simplify operations in our kitchens and for our crew&#8221; as the pandemic gripped the nation.</p><p>The pandemic also forced &#8220;substantially all&#8221; locations in the US to offer only drive-through, delivery and carry-out service.</p></p></div></p></div>]]></content:encoded>
