McPisser - A crowd sourced repository of McDonalds toilet access codes

(Undeployed proof of concept)


At a McDonalds I looked at the reciept. At the bottom it read “toilet code”.


Immediately all the times me or my peers have desperately needed the toilet in London and been turned away by buisnesses flooded back to me.

This gave birth to Mcpisser, an open source repository of all the McDonalds toilet codes in London, updated by those who had bought food at one time for those that needed the toilet another. 
























I created a variety of QR codes and NFC stickers that could be printed at home and placed by contributers around their local restaurants. The website facilitated the process of gathering and distributing codes, with pages to handle failures and new users.

Throughout this project I considered the relationship between underfunded public services and the role large companies play in this system. Due to cooperations dominance of our cities, we often rely upon the facilties provided by them, but our access to them is conditional.


This project remains an undeployed proof of concept due to my lack of budget should McDonalds’ lawyers come calling.
