Launching in a Sydney store, the service brings consumers closer to not even having to burn any extra calories by walking into a store, or just to their cars if they wish to drive-thru to collect a Big Mac.
The “McDelivery” service comes with a $4.95 delivery charge with customers required to spend a minimum of $25 from a pared back version of the restaurant’s menu.
If the delivery trial is successful, the service is likely to be expanded to provide door-to-door fast food service in more areas.
Health and parenting groups have already been vocal in protest, criticising the fast food giant for making unhealthy foods more accessible.
Others have raised logistical concerns like the matter of the crispness of fries being transported across suburbs in vehicles.
But supporters will argue offering home delivery is a logical step for the chain.
“Australians have enjoyed convenience of restaurant home delivery for decades and value having that option available to them,” a McDonald’s spokesperson told AdNews.
