Previously, McDonald’s
was in partnership with Uber Eats exclusively. According to CNBC, this is no
longer the case. The fast-food company has added DoorDash as delivery partner.
Since 2017, UberEats has handled the firm’s delivery on its
own in around 64 percent of its outlets in the US. However, according to Chris
Kempczinski, McDonald’s U.S. head, it only accounts for approximately 2 to 3
percent of its total business. Before Uber went public, the restaurant company
was trying to get it to lower commission fees. Reports advance that firms pay
around 15 to 30 percent to Uber Eats for delivery. However, the latter said
that it charges some chains a lower fee to be able to work with them.
The move to DoorDash
will begin on the 29th of July. The operations will start in
Houston, Texas in more than 200 restaurants. Kempczinski advanced, “Building on
the success of McDelivery in the U.S., we’re excited to make McDelivery
accessible to customers on DoorDash, which is available in all 50 states and
reaches 80 percent of Americans, making it even more convenient for our
customers to enjoy their favourite McDonald’s menu items on their terms”. The
fast-food outlet’s menu will be available on DoorDash’s
subscription service. Members will receive unlimited free delivery on orders
that are $12 or more.
