McDonald’s adds DoorDash as partner, ending exclusivity with UberEats

McDonald’s said Tuesday that it is adding DoorDash as a new delivery partner, bringing an end to its exclusive partnership with UberEats.

DoorDash’s partnership with the fast food giant will launch in the Houston, Texas area across more than 200 restaurants on July 29.

“Building on the success of McDelivery in the US, we’re excited to make McDelivery accessible to customers on DoorDash, which is available in all 50 states and reaches 80% of Americans, making it even more convenient for our customers to enjoy their favorite McDonald’s menu items on their terms,” Chris Kempczinski, McDonald’s U.S. head, said in a statement.

UberEats has been the sole delivery provider for McDonald’s since 2017, bringing delivery to roughly 64% of McDonald’s U.S. stores. Shares of Uber dropped less than 1% in afternoon trading Tuesday.
