McDonalds is trying to figure out how to keep sales growing as the all-day breakfast boost dies down, and the chain seems to have identified the next big thing: delivery.
The Golden Arches stated in a filing on Wednesday that it is experimenting with different delivery models, including partnering with third-party delivery services throughout the world. One of the most significant disruptions in the restaurant business today is the rapid increase in delivery, the filing stated. Coupled with the explosive growth in third-party delivery companies, the landscape has created an exceptional opportunity for growth, according to the document.
No other food company in the world has this reach and ability to be this convenient to so many customers through delivery, the company said. In McDonalds five largest markets US, France, the UK, Germany, and Canada nearly 75% of the population live within 3 miles of a McDonalds. Because of our extraordinary footprint, McDonalds is uniquely positioned to become the global leader in delivery.
