Mcdonald’s to launch on UK Deliveroo
The partnership will initially cover a number of McDonald’s UK restaurants in the summer, with expansion across the country planned for later in the year
Deliveroo and McDonald’s have announced a new, long-term global strategic partnership which will see McDelivery available through the Deliveroo platform in markets across the world.
The partnership includes the UK, Deliveroo’s largest market, where McDelivery will become available on the platform during the second quarter.
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 expansive menu.
Expansion of the partnership to the UK will reportedly help McDonald’s to meet consumer demand for delivery, while boosting choice and selection for Deliveroo customers.
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.”
Carlo Mocci, Deliveroo’s chief business officer UKI, added: “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.”
In addition to the UK, McDonald’s and Deliveroo currently partner in France, Italy, Belgium, Australia, Hong Kong, UAE and Kuwait.
