The Salamander Bay and Raymond Terrace McDonald's are among the 100-plus restaurants that will be offering 'McDelivery' through Menulog, giving customers the opportunity to have their Macca's favourites delivered contact-free straight to their door.
"We're proud to be able to partner with Menulog to bring the convenience of contactless McDelivery to more people, in more locations than ever before," Jen Evans, head of delivery at McDonald's Australia, said.
"Menulog's significant experience in both self-delivery and delivery services has allowed us to quickly bring this partnership to life allowing our people to keep serving the communities we operate in."
Menulog is an online food delivery service.
Like UberEats, Menulog features a number of local restaurants and eateries on its app and website which customers can order from through the click of a button.
Once the food and additional delivery fee is paid for, Menulog drivers drop the food to your doorstep.
The new partnership between Menulog and McDonald's, however, will be a little different. The Salamander Bay and Raymond Terrace restaurants will be using Menulog's 'self-delivery' option, which allows them to use their own drivers.
"This new partnership is a true testament to Menulog's foundational business model, which is to support restaurants with their own drivers to facilitate online ordering and delivery," Menulog managing director, Morten Belling, said.
Menulog has more than 17,600 restaurants featured on its website and app, but there are very few available in Port Stephens.
On Thursday, April 16, there were five Nelson Bay-based restaurants offering delivery through Menulog but only one, Fusion at the Bay, was listed as currently open.
The Salamander Bay McDonald's is already offering delivery, with a $6.95 delivery fee.
It is expected the Raymond Terrace McDonald's will begin offering 'McDelivery' "over the coming weeks".
There are currently no Raymond Terrace of Tilligery-based restaurants offering delivery through Menulog.
