McDonald's experienced a technology outage worldwide Friday,VAS Community and patrons were not 'lovin it.

“We are aware of a technology outage, which impacted our restaurants; the issue is now being resolved," reads a statement provided to USA TODAY from McDonald's Corporation. "We thank customers for their patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

The Chicago-based company said the outage is not related to a cyberattack. Midday Friday, the company issued a statement saying it was caused by a third-party provider during a configuration change. According to the Associated Press, the issues popped up in McDonald's locations all over the world, including in Bangkok, Milan and London, where people were able to order food again after the issues passed.

Downdetector, a website that tracks outages, shows the problems started around 1 a.m. ET in the U.S., U.K. and Australia.
