Uber will now handle most delivery orders placed in the McDonald's app across 14 countries. McDonald's says McDelivery is already a $20 billion-a-year business.
Ordering McDonald's delivery from the McDonald's app? Uber will be the one bringing it to your door in most cases.
McDonald's and Uber announced a multi-year expansion of their partnership on Monday, Nov. 9, covering 14 markets, including the U.S. Uber Eats becomes the preferred delivery partner built into the McDonald's app, according to Uber's press release.
Bloomberg framed the deal as McDonald's edging out DoorDash. DoorDash isn't getting kicked out, though. McDonald's will keep its listings on both Uber Eats and DoorDash, Investing.com reported. The change is about who handles delivery inside McDonald's own app.
"McDelivery has grown into a global business of more than $20 billion a year," said Mason Smoot, McDonald's senior vice president of global franchising and delivery.
Wall Street liked it. Uber shares rose 1.5% in premarket trading Monday, Investing.com reported.
What changes in the McDonald's app?
If you order delivery through the McDonald's app, here's what the release says:
Delivery stays in the app: You can order and track your food from checkout to your door without leaving the McDonald's app.
Uber does the driving: Most McDonald's app orders will be filled through Uber Direct, Uber's white-label delivery service, working with ordering tech company Deliverect.
Uber Eats still works: You can keep ordering McDonald's in the Uber Eats app, too.
The release names the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the U.K. among the places where Uber becomes the preferred partner for app orders.
Will McDonald's delivery prices change?
Neither company said. The release doesn't mention menu prices, delivery fees or service fees. It also doesn't say how long the "multi-year" deal lasts.
McDonald's has been focused on prices lately. Last week, [we reported](https://news.piratesandprincesses.net/p/mcdonalds-tests-350-bundles-after) that it's testing $3.50 bundles after U.S. traffic slipped in the third quarter. The release doesn't say whether deals like that will carry over to delivery orders.
How do McDonald's rewards work with Uber?
Uber becomes McDonald's exclusive delivery and rideshare rewards partner in participating markets.
Starting this month: MyMcDonald's Rewards members in select markets can trade points for discounts on Uber rides through a seasonal promotion in the McDonald's app. The release doesn't say which markets.
Coming later: Members will be able to earn MyMcDonald's Rewards points on eligible Uber Eats orders and spend them in the McDonald's app, including on Uber ride offers. No date yet.
That's a big audience. The U.S. McDonald's app has more than 45 million active loyalty members, Investing.com reported.
So yes, your fry points could one day get you a discounted ride to go get more fries.
Which countries are in the McDonald's and Uber deal?
All 14 markets, per the release:
North America: the U.S. and Canada
Europe: Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the U.K.
Asia-Pacific: Australia and New Zealand
Uber President and Chief Operating Officer Andrew Macdonald said "this marks our broadest expansion with McDonald's to date." Yes, Uber's COO is named Macdonald. No, the release doesn't say whether that helped.
How long have McDonald's and Uber worked together?
Since 2017, when they first teamed up in the U.S. McDonald's is now on Uber Eats in 30 countries, according to the release.
Uber started out as McDonald's exclusive U.S. delivery partner. That changed in 2019, when McDonald's added DoorDash.
DoorDash has had a busy fall of its own. It announced plans in late October to buy grocery delivery app Instacart, which [we covered here](https://news.piratesandprincesses.net/p/doordash-is-buying-instacart-what). Investing.com brought up that deal in its coverage of Monday's news and called DoorDash Uber's rival.
