McDonald's India goes Ecommerce with new online order and pay website

Fast food giant McDonald’s has partnered with online payment platform DirecPay to offer an online order and payment system.

McDonald’s customers in India now have the option to logon to www.mcdelivery.co.in, order, and pay for fast food delivery with a credit card, debit card, or net-banking. The initiative comes from McDonald’s Indian franchisee Hardcastle Restaurants who has partnered with DirecPay to offer online orders.

Hardcastle Restaurants already offers phone orders, which comes with its own logistical challenges. Offering an online portal where people can choose and order their meals simplifies the process for both the customer and the restaurant. To kick off the new online service Hardcastle Restaurants will be offering online only deals and incentives. Offering online only deals should help gear more customers to ordering online as opposed to over the phone.
