McDonald's UK & Ireland has expanded its partnership with Uber Direct, Uber's white-label delivery solution, to increase the number of customers using its mobile app.

Uber Direct, which uses the Uber Eats courier network, will be a key partner in the UK as McDonald's looks to further increase delivery orders through its app. Its technology allows McDonald's customers to track delivery from their local restaurant to their door and access 24/7 customer service if they ever need additional assistance.

Simon Duffy, Delivery Director, McDonald's UK & Ireland, said: “McDonald's is building a digital ecosystem that allows us to create more personalized experiences and connect with our customers like never before throughout their McDonald's journey. As part of this journey, we are pleased to continue our partnership with Uber Direct, our trusted MyMcDonald's app delivery partner. Together, we can continue to delight our customers by enabling them to order their McDonald’s favorites directly to their home.”

Caroline Varga, Head of Uber Direct UK & Ireland, said: “We are very proud of our partnership with McDonald's and are delighted that this collaboration will now continue.” It has been fantastic to see the growing popularity of McDelivery first hand. McDonald's and Uber Direct are both ambitious companies looking to build on this success. We are now focused on taking our partnership to the next level and helping McDonald’s achieve its global goals.”
