McDonald’s is trialling home delivery as it looks to broaden its reach into the takeaway market.
The trial, which launched this month at one store in Sydney, offers families the opportunity to call in an order for McDonald’s and have it delivered to their door.
Customers can order from a “nearly full” menu, including Big Macs, fries and the fast-food restaurant's salad and wrap options.
There is a $4.95 delivery fee and minimum order value of $25.
If the trial is successful it is likely to extend to additional areas.
The move has been criticised by health organisations for providing easier access to unhealthy foods but McDonald’s declined to comment on the criticism.
A McDonald's spokesperson said: “Australians have enjoyed the convenience of restaurant home delivery for decades and value having that option available to them. We’re currently conducting a trial in one market in the Sydney area. Customers choosing to take advantage of this trial service can order from a nearly full range of menu items, including a Big Mac, French fries, salads or wraps, and as always can review comprehensive nutrition and ingredient information on our website.”
