To comply with nature conservation regulations, the restaurant utilizes specific landscaping, including prescribed trees and shrubs, and limited outdoor lighting to minimize environmental impact. The site includes 93 indoor seats, 62 outdoor seats, a McDrive, an electric vehicle charging station, and a Playland. The opening provides local employment for approximately 40 staff members from Perná and surrounding municipalities.
