Burgers, chips, and McNuggets will be the principles of McDonald’s cuisine. However, the series also provides soft-serve ice cream in the majority of its 38,000+ places. Or, theoretically it will. In fact the ice cream makers are infamously likely to breaking , frequently disappointing anybody hoping to meet their midnight McFlurry craving.

1 enterprising program engineer, even Rashiq Zahid, determined it is much better to know whether the ice cream maker is broken up until you move. The answer? A bot to test beforehand. So was created McBroken, that maps out all of the McDonald’s near you using an easy color-coded scatter system: green when the ice cream maker is functioning and red when it is broken.

The bot essentially works via McDonald’s mobile program, which you may use to set an order in any McDonald’s place. If you may add a ice cream arrangement to your cart, then the concept goes, the device in that place is functioning. If you can not, it is not. So Zahid took this thought and climbed up.
