I often catch myself stretched too thin in the hubbub of work, parenting, school commitments, and family fun. One of the ways I've been making more time for all of our family obligations is by outsourcing a few meals throughout the week. Food delivery options come in many forms, but nothing beats the convenience of McDelivery.
Just last week, we had a tremendous amount of commitments that all conveniently (not!) happened on the same day. Rather than fuss with an elaborate dinner plan, I logged into my Uber Eats account and selected McDelivery. The whole process was a breeze, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tracking aspect of the app. I could see who was picking up my meal and when it was expected to arrive.
My kids were beyond thrilled to hear the doorbell ring and find their favorite meal appear right at our doorstep. The order was accurate and the food was hot and tasty as ever.

McDonald's has always been a household name for convenient meals. Continuing to raise the bar, the McDelivery service (which launched in the US in 2017) has now reached all 50 states. This means that you can try McDevilery for yourself whether you're home or traveling-- something to keep in mind for your next family vacation.
How To Order McDelivery
The ordering process is pretty straight-forward, but here are some quick steps to get started:
1. Download UberEats or DoorDash and create a user account.
2. Enter your delivery address to find your local McDonald's.
3. Follow the prompts to browse the menu, add to your cart, and check out.
Unexpected Benefits of Ordering McDelivery
Food delivery services offer many known conveniences, but I did find some unexpected benefits when ordering McDelivery for my family.
- Feeding a family can often be expensive, so seeing an entire menu section dedicated to bundles and promotions was really helpful. In an effort to save time, I probably would've missed something like this and ordered the 'usual' had I gone into the store directly.
- I often find myself ordering the same things every time I visit McDonald's- a quarter pounder with cheese and their world-famous fries. Sitting down at my computer to thoroughly browse the menu allowed me to discover some new treats to try: The Classic Pack Big Mac bundle, mango pineapple smoothie, and 13-count cookie tote -- just to name a few.
- With food allergies in our family, I can really appreciate the online menu's bright yellow allergy-awareness notes indicating food items with allergen concerns.
