It was big news, two months back, when McDonald’s ended its exclusive partnership with DoorDash. Now, the QSR maintains partnerships with Uber Eats and Grubhub, and the latter partnership is expanding.
McDonald’s USA has announced expanded delivery availability with Grubhub across New York state and surrounding areas. Following the partnership announcement last month, customers can now order McDelivery from approximately 500 McDonald’s locations on Grubhub and the company’s New York brand, Seamless.
Katie Hunt-Rotolo, McDonald’s Owner/Operator and President of the New York Tri-State Owner/Operators Association, comments, “At McDonald’s, we are committed to finding innovative ways to best serve our customers, whether that be in-restaurant or in the comfort of their homes. Through this partnership with Grubhub, we are thrilled to create more options for them to enjoy their favorite McDonald’s menu items via McDelivery. We’re pleased to see the excitement our customers have shown for McDelivery being available on Grubhub and Seamless across New York and the Tri-State area, and we’re proud to offer them new levels of choice and convenience.”
To celebrate the launch, Grubhub and McDonald’s will partner together to give customers exclusive delivery deals and experiences. For the rest of the year, the two brands will join forces to, according to a press release from McDonalds’s, “help turn usually gloomy Mondays into happy ones with McDelivery, one McNugget at a time.”
On each Monday throughout the rest of the year, Grubhub and McDonald’s will offer $5 off for the first 1,000 diners who redeem the promotion. Additionally, for a limited time, Grubhub and Seamless customers can also take advantage of a $0 delivery fee on their orders.
“Giving our diners the best restaurant options and more of their favorites is a top priority, and adding McDonald’s to that list is an exciting moment,” says Seth Priebatsch, Head of Enterprise at Grubhub. “In less than 60 days, we’ve been able to integrate, pilot, and launch our availability to millions throughout New York and other markets, making the dream of McDelivery even more of a reality.”
McDelivery became available on Grubhub and Seamless across the state of New York and the Tri-State area on October 7. To place a McDelivery order, users can visit Grubhub, or Seamless for more details. There’s even a Grubhub Blog that regularly post updates about the promotion.
