McDonald’s is jumping on the fast-food-delivery bandwagon.
On Wednesday, McDonald’s said “McDelivery” with UberEATS, Uber’s food-delivery service, was now available from more than 1,000 locations, including restaurants in Los Angeles; Chicago; Columbus, Ohio; Phoenix, Arizona; and Florida.
“We are bringing a new level of convenience to more of our customers as we continue to transform the McDonald’s experience,” McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook said in a statement.
McDonald’s and UberEATS began testing McDelivery at 200 locations in Florida in January. According to the fast-food giant, the pilot test reflected consistent growth and resulted in high levels of customer satisfaction.
On social media, people living in areas that have had a chance to experience McDelivery seem split between two responses: disbelief and delight.
McDonald’s sales have improved recently, with same-store sales at US locations increasing 1.7% in the first quarter of 2017. However, the company reported that customer visits at the chain have remained flat from a year ago.
