Not all chains view delivery the same way. Uber Eats needed the giant exposure that McDonald’s could provide, and the terms of the deal were likely very favorable towards McDonald’s. Added to that, it sealed its official partnership with Uber Eats when the delivery service was still in its early days. ![]() ![]() Of course, it helps that McDonald’s is a juggernaut in the industry, and has a lot of negotiating power when it comes to working with third-party delivery services. In short, it’s an incredibly profitable business for the chain. “We’ve been moving at a pace for this unprecedented in the McDonald’s system,” Easterbrook said on the company’s most recent quarterly earnings call.Įasterbrook went on to explain that not only is delivery a huge growth market for the company, but it is one that requires “no additional investment” from McDonald’s side. That percentage will only keep growing as well, given that the average McDonald’s delivery check size is about 50 percent higher than the in-store check size. Of the McDonald’s restaurants that offer delivery, it now accounts for about 10 percent of food sales in those locations. “Through our growing partnership with McDonald’s, we’re able to help restaurants scale their businesses and reach new customers.” “It’s exciting to see how Uber Eats is changing the perception of food delivery around the world,” Jason Droege, vice president and head of Uber Everything, told Skift Table in an email. According to CEO Stephen Easterbrook, McDonald’s now offers delivery (powered by an extensive and exclusive Uber Eats partnership) in 13,000 of its restaurants around the globe, up 60 percent from 7,800 restaurants just one year ago. McDonald’s delivery business is paying off in huge numbers for the fast food giant.
