McDonald’s
is set to launch home delivery in the Netherlands from next month. This was reported by the Algemeen
Dagblad, citing sources close to the fast-food chain.

The American
giant had previously opted out of home delivery, partly due to the challenge of
keep the food warm during the journey. With the rise of
meal delivery services such as Deliveroo and UberEATS, it now appears to be
. At the end of last year, McDonald’s announced that it would start
start offering home delivery. The UK and the Netherlands will follow next month.

Around
three-quarters of the Dutch population live within a five-kilometre radius of a
McDonald’s branch. This makes it feasible, particularly in major cities, to
quickly. The fast-food chain has not provided the AD with any further details
about the new service. “Home delivery is already available in many countries where
we operate. We look forward to offering our guests this convenience and this extra
experience,” says a spokeswoman. “As soon as we have more
about this here in the Netherlands, we will share that information.”
