Under the golden arches on Victoria Ave the M shone brighter for Wanganuis McDonalds and McCafe when it was named the groups Restaurant of the Year 2006 with Hamish Andersen recognised as Outstanding Restaurant Manager for 2006.
Franchisees John and Sonya Warder moved to Wanganui in October 2003 after selling all their worldly possessions to buy into the McDonalds chain.
They took a risk and worked hands-on to make their restaurant work.
In June last year the Warders led the way and pioneered the new McCafe look and layout.
The restaurants popularity grew, and its success in both sales and customer service was recognised by McDonalds.
It was always my goal to be a franchisee and McDonalds gives you the opportunity to grow.
And when youre backs against the wall, you work harder. The Warders attributed the restaurants success to their 100 part-time and full-time staff.
People are a focus for us and we are continually developing our team.
Its a privilege to employ so many people and satisfying to watch the crew develop important work and management skills they can use for the rest of their lives.
