These countries will add to the 30 countries where McDonald’s is available through Uber Eats.
Uber Eats is now the official and designated preferred delivery partner of the world’s number one fast-food restaurant in these markets, expanding a deal that dates back to 2017, and there’s another character coming on the scene, and that’s loyalty programs.
“By building on our longstanding relationship with Uber, we’re making the customer experience even easier, more reliable and more rewarding, while continuing to give our fans choice in how they order McDonald’s,” stated Mason Smoot, McDonald’s senior deputy of global franchising and delivery.
Under this agreement, Uber Eats is now the sole preferred integrated delivery fulfillment partner, and it is historic because all deliveries in these countries placed through the official McDonald’s app – USA, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and Great Britain – will be processed and handled by Uber Eats.
So, customers placing and tracking orders through the official McDonald’s app won’t need to move to Uber Eats to seek convenience.
Andrew Macdonald, Uber’s president and chief operating officer, described the expansion as the broadest partnership between the two companies to date, merging their delivery and mobility networks to offer consumers a more rewarding experience.
For the ridesharing app, this pact provides its white-label logistics business with consistent demand from Uber Eats consumers, since McDonald’s orders will flow through the fulfillment network of Uber, while the fast-food restaurant keeps its listings on other marketplaces. Way to go, McDonald’s!
And, here’s where the loyalty programs are. Uber is now also the rewards partner of McDonald’s in participating markets. The famous MyMcDonald’s Rewards program’s members in key markets can redeem points for discounts and other perks not only on orders of food, but also Uber rides, yes, right on the McDonald’s app!
