Fast food giant McDonald’s has launched its own delivery service as part of the “next phase” of its digital expansion and delivery across Australia.
McDelivery, a service managed through the MyMacca app, launched on Monday after a quiet trial at several restaurants in New South Wales earlier this month.
Customers can now place orders directly through the app and have them delivered to their door, a service that has been available in the United States for years.
The burger chain is also offering free delivery for customers who spend over $40 between February 27 and March 5 through the MyMacca app.
Cameron Newlands, McDonald’s vice president of operations in Australia and head of delivery services, said more than 800 restaurants across Australia will begin offering the service.
“McDelivery via MyMacca is the next step in expanding our digital application,” said Newlands.
“Designed with our customers in mind, we are confident that this service will enhance convenience and unlock even more value for our customers.”
McDonald’s has been offered through other third-party delivery services such as Uber Eats, Menulog and Doordash, but for the first time, customers can order directly through McDonald’s own app.
Visitors will be refunded the $3.99 shipping fee plus a 5 percent customer service fee for orders over $12.
Orders under $12 will incur an additional $2 minimum order fee.
The availability of McDonald’s on other third party services remains the same.
