Customers can make the most of their McDonald's experience on weekdays by sending and replying to emails in the reserved space — with additional power sockets.
The area at the fast food outlet in Whitefield, Gtr Manchester, can also be booked in advance by companies for group business meetings.
A notice reads: 'On weekdays this area is reserved for business/laptop users and adults over 16.
'If you are lucky enough to look under 16, we reserve the right to ask you to use an alternative area of the restaurant.

'After listening to customer feedback, we've introduced a dedicated Business Area on weekdays for anyone aged 16 and over who wants a quieter space to work or study.
'We want the restaurant to be a space that works for everyone, whether you're bringing the kids to enjoy the Play Place or looking for a calm spot to focus, we're proud to offer spaces that suit everyone as part of our commitment to being a good neighbour in our community.'
