McDonald's CEO said he expects corporate workers to return to the office three days a week.
In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Chris Kempczinski said that remote work had "worked well for the time," but that the company was "committed to getting back into our offices, getting back into the restaurants."
"We ultimately are an in-person business. We're in-person in the restaurants. We're in-person in the office."
Kempczinski said that, going forward, workers would have two days a week of flexible working. Before the pandemic, corporate workers at McDonald's could work from home one day a week.
The fast-food chain joins a growing group of businesses, including Google and Apple, that are asking workers to return to offices for at least a few days a week. Apple recently delayed its office reopening because of the rise in COVID-19 cases in the US.
While many workers want to get back to an office, some don't want to return five days a week.
A recent survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes found that just over 6% of US workers would quit their jobs if they were asked to return to an office full-time.
