McDelivery is a food delivery service provided by the international fast food chain, McDonald's. The service allows customers to order McDonald's food items and have them delivered to their doorstep. McDelivery was first introduced in the 1990s and has since expanded to various countries around the world.

History

McDelivery was first launched in Singapore in 1993. The service was initially available only in select areas but was later expanded to cover the entire city. Following its success in Singapore, McDonald's introduced McDelivery in several other countries, including the United States, India, and China.

Service

McDelivery operates through a combination of direct phone orders, online orders, and mobile app orders. Customers can choose from the full range of McDonald's menu items, including burgers, fries, desserts, and beverages. The service is available 24/7 in some locations, while in others, it operates during specific hours.

Expansion

In recent years, McDonald's has been aggressively expanding its McDelivery service to compete with other food delivery services. The company has partnered with various third-party delivery platforms, such as Uber Eats and DoorDash, to increase its reach.

Impact

The introduction of McDelivery has significantly impacted McDonald's business model. It has allowed the company to reach a wider customer base and increase its sales. Moreover, it has also influenced the fast food industry as a whole, with many other chains introducing their own delivery services.

Criticism

Despite its success, McDelivery has faced criticism for its high delivery fees and long delivery times. There have also been concerns about the environmental impact of the increased use of delivery packaging.
