Being online and getting things done with a single click has become the new norm. These days, one can get anything delivered to their doorsteps without any trouble. All it costs the customer is their time and money.
The delivery of food has become the new normal of our times. Especially during the time of the pandemic, when going out makes us question a hundred things. It has become a profitable business for the restaurants while also meeting the needs of the people who lack time, and energy to go out for a meal.
With the growing needs, many food companies have also made their presence online. These companies now cater to the needs of their customers by providing them an online option to choose the meal and get it delivered to them. And one of them is Mcdonald’s.
What is McDonald’s?
An American fast-food company, McDonald’s was founded in 1940. It is widely known across the globe thanks to its logo of the “golden arches”. McDonald’s is known for its hamburgers and cheeseburgers, but their breakfast items and milkshakes are globally loved too!
As of 2021, McDonald’s restaurants operate in more than 100 countries with more than 36 thousand restaurants. In the United States alone there are more than 13 thousand restaurants.
How To Order From McDonald’s?
Any customer can order their delivery by simply visiting McDonald’s or contacting them through their official contact number, which can be easily found on the menu or the official website. Just by providing the order details, address, and means of payment, the customer is good to go.
However, if you are too anxious to communicate with them, you can always order it online through their official app or other food delivery applications/platforms. Using a digital platform, you can select your meal and pay for it as you like.
McDonald’s Delivery
Mcdonald’s lets the customers place their order and get it delivered to them through a third-party system. The customers can get the delivery either through their official services “McDelivery”, which is in partnership with Doordash or through Uber Eats. These applications, i.e. Doordash and Uber Eats, also offer various cashback offers for their customers on various occasions. Such a system has been proved to be beneficial for both companies.
How Does The McDonald’s Delivery Works?
As mentioned above, you can deliver through any of the applications such as Uber Eats or Doordash, or through call-in order. In just the following steps you can get your meal delivered to you:
Your meal
You can go through the various options provided by the McDonald’s menu and select what you are craving. Or if you contact them, you can tell them about your selected meal.
Your location
After selecting the meal, you can check the delivery charges by selecting your location. In a call, the person who you are talking to will inform you about the same. The delivery charges and time varies from region to region, depending on how close the restaurant is to your place.
Pay
You can choose to pay for the food at hand, through your credit card, or you can choose to pay for them by cash when you get your meal delivered to you. The choice is yours.
Track your order
After confirming the order, the applications give you the benefit of tracking the order, along with the details of the person delivering it to you. So in case, you are around the same road, you can get it by contacting the delivery person.
Enjoy!
And this is it! Now you can sit back and enjoy your meal in whatever ways you prefer.
McDonald’s Delivery During The Pandemic
Mcdonald’s has always been careful when it comes to hygiene. Especially during the pandemic, when sanitation became an utmost priority, McDonald’s upgraded their game.
McDonald’s has introduced “contactless” delivery like other restaurants. The order ordered by the customer is not touched by bare hands by any of the employees. In addition, the delivery persons are required to sanitize their hands before picking up your order.
After reaching the destination, the food item is delivered outside the door while the delivery person stands at a distance, for checking that the delivery has been done, or maybe to receive the payment.
How To Cancel McDonald’s Order?
There are times when we order a wrong meal, or double order the same meal, or if we just want to cancel the whole order. Mcdonald’s lets you do all of that!
However, you can cancel your order or make changes in your order only if the item has not left the restaurant. For that, you can contact their helpline number or opt for the “cancel” option on the app.
Refunds From McDonald’s
You can apply for any damaged food item, or misplaced order, by contacting the company through their official number.
In case you have applied for refunds, the same can be processed within 5-7 business days if approved.
Conclusion
The McDonald’s delivery system is a very effective service provided to the customers. Like any other restaurant, it lets you choose your order, choose your delivery location, and your comfort zone when it comes to paying. It offers the “track your order” system so you know when it could reach you, and lets you cancel the order and ask for refunds in genuine situations.
