The integration allows customers to check out quickly, pay using flexible options, and avoid unnecessary steps. According to Tim Snyder, who is the Head of Delivery at McDonald’s USA, millions already visit McDonalds.com each month, so this move expands the brand’s reach and improves accessibility. Separately, DoorDash VP Shanna Prevé stated that the partnership will drive sales while simplifying operations and improving customer experience.
It is worth noting that the U.S. rollout is part of a global partnership between McDonald’s and DoorDash, which powers McDelivery in 29 countries. Indeed, DoorDash plays a major role in delivering McDonald’s products in markets such as Canada, Germany, Australia, Finland, and Japan. Therefore, by using McDonald’s digital channels to make ordering easier, DoorDash can use its fulfillment network to deliver an even smoother experience.
