McDonald's Delivery Extended to Hartford

HARTFORD, CT — Have the munchies and can't get to the drive-through at the local McDonald's? Well a service called UberEATS has contracted with the fast food chain to deliver staples like burgers, fries and nuggets to local homes.

Are ... they ... kiddin'?

No ... it's an extension of the "personal" aspect of the Uber ride service, a McDonald's official said.

Hartford is one territory announced Monday.

“We are excited to bring a new level of convenience and personalization to our customers in Connecticut with UberEATS,” said Scott Taylor, McDonald’s Owner/Operator and president of the Connecticut and Western Massachusetts McDonald’s Owner/Operator Association. “Our customers have told us they enjoy experiencing McDonald’s in new ways, and we look forward to offering more ways to enjoy their favorite menu items.”

Customers can place McDonald’s orders on the UberEATS mobile app or on UberEATS.com, using the same account they use to take Uber rides and track their order, as an UberEATS delivery partner brings their meal directly to them. An UberEATS booking fee applies to each order.

Delivery fees do apply and are outlined on the UberEATS app. The booking fee for UberEATS is a flat $4.99.
