McDonald¡¯s Holdings Japan resumed operations at almost all of its locations nationwide Saturday, enabling customers to make orders via mobile and in-person at restaurants, the company said in a tweet.

The recovery comes after McDonald¡¯s was hit by a system outage that appears to have started in the Asia-Pacific region on Friday and spread to other markets globally, leaving customers unable to order at its stores and through electronic platforms.

In a statement on its website, the company said the issue ¡°was caused by a third-party provider during a configuration change¡± and that it was ¡°working closely with those markets that are still experiencing issues.¡±

Operations had resumed earlier in other regions including Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, UK and Ireland.
