Now you can, thanks to McDonald\u2019s (NYSE:MCD) recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/business\/2017\/06\/25\/you-can-have-uber-driver-make-mcdonald-run\/wYtV3VPxDpAX3dyv0TEpUO\/story.html\"  rel=\"noopener\">partnership<\/a> with UberEATS.<\/p>\n<p>For a fee of $4.99, customers can order McDonald\u2019s menu items for delivery, which should normally take between five and 15 minutes. This is a convenient new option for fast food buyers, who are already apt to value convenience. In fact, the fast food giant is focusing its marketing efforts on the convenience factor. There&#8217;s a new line of \u201clazy wear,\u201d including Big Mac onesies and similar items &#8212; because now you don&#8217;t even have to leave the house to get your Big Mac!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Io6zMJ2P0M?rel=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>It Pays to Focus on Customer Convenience<\/h3>\n<p>Independent restaurants and other small businesses can take a page from McDonald\u2019s book as well. When you have the opportunity to offer convenient new options to consumers, especially if your <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2017\/07\/improve-customer-convenience.html\"  rel=\"noopener\">customers tend to value convenience<\/a>, it can be a positive step for your business.<\/p>\n<p>And you don\u2019t have to dedicate all of your own resources to offering delivery and other convenient options either. As McDonald\u2019s and UberEATS have demonstrated, you can find other companies with which to partner. These businesses may already provide those services your customers are interested in. It can be a great option for small businesses that don\u2019t have the resources to hire new staff or invest in new equipment to offer those new options in house.<\/p>\n<p><small><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/budapest-hungary-april-2013-young-woman-519857767\"  rel=\"noopener\">McDonald&#8217;s<\/a> Photo via Shutterstock<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<p>This article, &#8220;<a href='https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2017\/07\/customer-convenience.html'>McDonald&#8217;s UberEATS Partnership Shows Power of Convenience<\/a>&#8221; was first published on <a href='https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/'>Small Business Trends<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=TCq9Xd7lqpQ:_EyO3qijqBw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=TCq9Xd7lqpQ:_EyO3qijqBw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=TCq9Xd7lqpQ:_EyO3qijqBw:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=TCq9Xd7lqpQ:_EyO3qijqBw:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=TCq9Xd7lqpQ:_EyO3qijqBw:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=TCq9Xd7lqpQ:_EyO3qijqBw:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=TCq9Xd7lqpQ:_EyO3qijqBw:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/SmallBusinessTrends\/~4\/TCq9Xd7lqpQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new food delivery partnership between McDonald&#8217;s and UberEATS underscores the importance of increasing customer convenience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-retail-trends"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21800\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
