LONDON (ShareCast) - (ShareCast News) - Fast food giant McDonald's will now be able to bring your Big Mac directly to your sofa - as it trials a new UK delivery service in partnership with Uber.
Along with the tech firm's UberEats, McDonald's will begin deliveries from 22 outlets in London, Nottingham and Leeds in order to assess the profitability of the new service.
Users of the app will be able to avail themselves of the service if they live within 1.5 miles of one of the participating outlets.
McDonald's has for years put off attempts to offer its own delivery service, but with increased competition from other food providers it has now decided to change course.
"Delivery is something that my customers often ask about so it's exciting that we're now up and running with McDelivery in a selection of my London restaurants," said Claude Abi-Gerges, who runs five McDonald's franchise outlets in London which will be taking part in the trial.
