McDonalds is to be available via Deliveroo across the UK as the two companies announce a new, long-term global strategic partnership. This partnership includes the UK, Deliveroo’s largest market, where McDelivery® will become available on Deliveroo during the second quarter of this year.
The partnership is expected to initially cover a number of McDonald’s UK restaurants when it begins in the summer, with expansion across the country planned for later in the year. Deliveroo consumers will have full access to McDonald’s menu.
Alistair Macrow, McDonald's UK and Ireland CEO, said: “Since we launched McDelivery in 2017, the service has gone from strength to strength. More than 1,200 of our restaurants now offer delivery, and our delivery offer continues to be incredibly popular with customers. We look forward to welcoming Deliveroo and their riders into our suite of McDelivery partners enabling us to deliver directly to more of our customers across the UK, so they can continue to enjoy their favourite McDonald’s menu items”.
Deliveroo’s Chief Business Officer UKI, Carlo Mocci, said: “We are delighted to be expanding our partnership with McDonald’s through this global agreement. This will bring McDonald’s iconic menu to millions of consumers. Deliveroo already works with McDonald’s in several markets and expanding our partnership to the UK will excite our UK consumers. Deliveroo’s mission is to become the definitive online food company, and working with McDonald’s will help us to achieve this, offering people the widest choice and best online delivery experience.”
In addition to the UK, McDonald’s and Deliveroo currently partner in France, Italy, Belgium, Australia, Hong Kong, UAE and Kuwait.
