McDonald's Hawke's Bay launches first ever te reo Māori menu in

Hawkes Bay McDonald's is the first of its kind to offer a bilingual menu in both English and te reo Māori.

Te Kāea posted to Facebook a photo of McDonald's Hawke's Bay operations manager Carmel Berghan holding a photo of the bilingual menu, the "country's first bilingual menu, written in Māori and English".

Jeremy McLeod who is the director of te reo at Ngāti Kahungungu has also gotten in touch with the franchise and asked if they could bring in some bilingual signage.

The owners have agreed and now they have signage on doors such as "push" and "pull" and "men's" and "women's" toilets in māori.

They are now calling on other food outlets to take on the challenge and create bilingual menus too.

You may also remember last year when the video went viral of a young boy by the name of Jershon taking an order of McDonald's in te reo Māori.

Hopefully, this inspires others to do the same!

Tiakina ōu tātau reo!
