McDonald's recently announced that it will be expanding its McDelivery service to include New Zealand. While the chain has been offering home delivery in Australia for several years, now the Aussies' Kiwi counterparts will be able to enjoy the same service.
While details about how McDelivery will operate in New Zealand are still somewhat scarce, it is likely to use a similar model as that employed in Australia. This means that customers will likely have to set up an online account to place their delivery order. This will include a favorites function so that certain dishes can be bookmarked for future deliveries.
McDonald's new delivery service will have to compete alongside existing platforms in New Zealand such as Menulog, which allows consumers to order gourmet burgers online and have them delivered directly to their door.
