More than 200 McDonald’s restaurants throughout Miami, Tampa Bay and Orlando
are available on the UberEATS app through a delivery test
TAMPA BAY, FL – UberEATS and McDonald’s are partnering to test delivery from more than 200 restaurants throughout Miami, Orlando, and Tampa Bay. Whether they are at the office, at home, or somewhere in between, McDonald’s fans in select areas of these cities can now enjoy their favorite sandwiches, salads, sides, beverages and desserts delivered right to their door via UberEATS.
“We are excited to bring a new level of convenience and personalization to our customers in Florida through this test with UberEATS,” said Pam Williams, Director of Growth Platforms for McDonald’s USA. “A growing number of people are using UberEATS today to get their favorite foods making them an ideal partner for McDonald’s. We look forward to learning from this test as we continue to elevate the McDonald’s experience.”
“With UberEATS, you can get the food you want, where you want it, delivered at Uber speed. We’re thrilled to partner with McDonald’s to give fans in Florida easy access to their McDonald’s favorites at the tap of a button,” said Peter Hsu, UberEATS Florida General Manager. “People in Florida search for McDonald’s in the UberEATS app almost daily, so we’re excited to expand our reach and deliver what they’ve been craving.”
Customers can place McDonald’s orders via the UberEATS mobile app or at UberEATS.com, using the same account they use to take Uber rides and track their order as an UberEATS delivery partner brings their meals directly to them. The full menu at participating McDonald’s Florida restaurants will be available for delivery with the exception of soft serve cones. McPick 2 and other promotional pricing offers may be excluded from delivery. An UberEATS booking fee applies to each order.
This Florida delivery test is the latest innovation for McDonald’s which recently announced that mobile pay and ordering will begin rolling out this year at McDonald’s in the U.S. as well as other lead markets. In addition, McDonald’s is innovating its customer experience by adding self-order kiosks, table service and digital menu boards to additional U.S. markets this year.
“From to technology, table service and modernized restaurants, we’re working to bring meaningful enhancements that our customers truly appreciate,” said Rachel Millan, whose family owns and operates 16 McDonald’s restaurants in the Tampa Bay area. “We are proud to provide customers in Florida the chance to experience the convenience of delivery through this test.”
