McDonald\u2019s Malaysia has broadened McDelivery network by launching the new McDonald\u2019s mobile app and increasing the number of delivery points nationwide.<\/p>\n
This is their effort to leverage on the expected rise of e-commerce as well as the expansion of the delivery sector to sustain the company\u2019s ongoing growth.<\/p>\n
McDonald\u2019s expects a significant increase in revenue contribution from McDelivery as it becomes a rapid growing business channel for the company as McDelivery has already recorded a growth rate of 80 per cent for the period between January to June, 2018 compared to the of the same period last year. <\/p>\n
McDonald\u2019s Malaysia vice president and chief marketing officer, Melati Abdul Hai said the expansion of McDelivery was a result of the increase in demand, largely owing to a shift in consumer behaviour and lifestyle as well as a change in the ever-evolving business landscape.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese days, Malaysians are finding it difficult to go out and grab a bite to eat because of their busy schedules.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether they are stuck in work meetings, traffic jams, or just prefer to relax at home, they should be given an option as to where and how they would like to enjoy their favourite meals.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs part of the expansion plan, McDonald\u2019s is committed to avenues previously unchartered to achieve the goals we set out for, such as having more than 310 delivery points by the end of this year,\u201d she said adding that Mcdonald\u2019s is also looking to increase their market share by 15 per cent.<\/p>\n
In 2017, McDonald\u2019s had only 103 delivery points and 10 per cent market share and Ultimately, by 2021, they aim to have a total of 1,000 delivery points and 30 per cent market share in Malaysia.<\/p>\n
Melati added the long-term strategy was to equip at least 90 percent of McDonald\u2019s restaurants with McDelivery services by 2025.<\/p>\n
The expansion of McDelivery, she said, was a result of the increase in demand and shifting of consumer behaviour and business landscape.<\/p>\n
