Home food delivery have taken a huge leap forward in the last couple of years. Getting your favorite meals delivered to your door is as easy as a few clicks these days, and McDonald’s Canada is among the restaurants that have embraced this approach.
The McDonald’s Canada menu available for home delivery is limited, though. The restaurant delivers through third-party services so that you can still enjoy your favorite sandwiches, burgers, and menus without even leaving your home.

SkipTheDishes
SkipTheDishes is a convenient food delivery app, delivering in 100+ cities in Canada. You can order via their website or app. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices, and using it is nothing complicated.
Start by logging in. Then enter your address on the homepage and press “Find Restaurants In Your Area.” The app will display the restaurants delivering to your location or available nearby for pickup. So you can have your order delivered to your place, or you can pick it up yourself. Plus, you can choose the time when you’d like the food to be ready for pickup or delivered.
Once you have found your store, add the items you’re interested in to your shopping cart, and place the order. You will then receive a confirmation email and be able to track your order. You can either pay online or with cash upon delivery or pickup.
Regarding the delivery fee, this one is determined by your distance from the restaurant. It is important to mention that there is no minimum order size when using this app. According to the information available on the SkipTheDishes FAQ page, the courier receives 100% of the delivery fee and tip provided.
In case you intend to use this app frequently, you might want to take a look at their rewards program. You will earn rewards on every order, and you can use these points to get more of the foods you love. To get started, all you need is a Skip account, as there is no monthly fee.
Uber Eats
Uber Eats is Uber’s food app, and it allows you to use your Uber account to order your favorite food. Using it to place an order is pretty straightforward, and you can do so via their website or app. Sign in or create an account if you don’t have one, then enter your delivery address to see if there’s a McDonald’s on Uber Eats that delivers to your location.
Once you’ve selected a McDonald’s location to order from, browse the menu available for delivery, add the items you’re interested in to your shopping cart, and place your order. You can opt for home delivery, pickup, or dine-in at certain restaurants, so based on the availability of these options at the McDonald’s of your choice, you should see them during checkout.
As far as the service fees are concerned, the total fee includes two fees when your order is delivered via UberEats. You will pay a delivery fee which varies based on your location, the restaurant you’re ordering from and the number of couriers available. This fee should be displayed at the top of the restaurant’s menu.
Besides this fee, you will pay a service fee, which is 10% of your order value, with a minimum of $2 and a maximum of $4. The order value excludes any promotions or discounts. For example, if your order is less than $20, you will pay a $2 service fee plus the delivery fee.
When the order is delivered directly by the merchant, you will pay only a delivery fee, which is displayed at the top of the merchant’s menu and is determined and charged by the merchant.
Sometimes, UberEats and merchants offer promotions on delivery. When that is the case, you will see such discounts at checkout before placing your order. In case you opt to pick up your order, you will pay no fee.
However, since some of these fees may not apply in select cities, it is best to check the Uber app to see what the case is in your town. Uber’s help page is worth checking out for more information on delivery.
Also, Uber’s membership program is worth taking into account if you intend to order your favorite foods regularly. The subscription is $9.99 a month and, as a member, you will get $0 delivery and 5% off restaurant orders over $15. You can cancel anytime without paying any fee or penalty.
DoorDash
Another way to have your favorite McDonald’s food delivered to your door is through DoorDash. The technology company connects customers with their favorite local and national businesses. Ordering via DoorDash is similar to ordering through the above-mentioned apps.
You can order via their app, which is available for Android and iOS devices or via their website. Start by entering your address to see the McDonald’s restaurants participating in the delivery service in your area. Once you have found the one you’re interested in, select it and add the items of interest to your shopping cart.

Regarding the delivery fee, it is usually around $2 to $5, as the exact charge depends on the restaurant you select. However, if you intend to use this service regularly, you might want to consider their monthly subscription. DashPass is a $9.99-per-month subscription that will get you free delivery on orders over $12 from eligible restaurants.
