Yeah... a lack of delivery WAS the reason I had been avoiding McDonalds.
This. The people eating McDonalds and the people paying for food delivery are not the same people. I'm pretty sure their intersection is statistically insignificant.
Ultimately, McDonalds will have to transition to being a full-service vending machine. Realistically, in an automated world, their flesh-and-blood employees provide negative value. I wish dearly that I could just enter my own order on the POS system when I am in such places
I wonder if Japan would be a testing ground for such a concept. They already have pizza-ready vending machines, for example.

There are no less than three groups of senior citizens who come every single day for breakfast. There are a number of people who go there all of the time because they like it. They show up in $100k cars because they want something from McDonalds.
I grab breakfast at McDonald's all the time. I can afford to pay more for food, but I really love McDonalds breakfast. It's fast, convenient, and unlike other fast food restaurants it doesn't taste like a poor version of better food. McDonald's taste's like McDonald's.
That being said, I only order delivery when I'm with other people, so I can't really see myself utilizing the service often. I can, however, see someone ordering like 100 McChickens (or happy meals) if they've got a huge group of hungry kids.

McDonalds probably has better research on their own business than you do. They wouldn't do this unless they believed it would be worthwhile.
This is never something you should believe in a major, for-profit company heavy on management. Those companies have people investing in all kinds of BS all the time everywhere from top to store level. That includes McDonalds which is easy to verify by just listening to the employees talk about management and company politics.
Now, it may be a good idea that might have come from someone thinking well. A big company investing in it across the stores isn't proof of that in any way, though. One needs more details.

That seems to be the direction they're moving. Several flagship McDonalds have popped up around NYC with fully self-serve computer ordering kiosks. I haven't been yet, but people are talking about them -- people who I've never heard talk about McDonalds before. They've got a pretty big gulf of social-class-stigma to get past, but it seems like McDonalds is at the beginning of a comeback. Delivery might be a guilty pl…
Maybe it's because I grew up within a couple miles of the headquarters of McDonalds, but the only people I know that don't go to McDonalds are health nuts. That being said, the stores around here are way nicer than the ones I've gone to in other parts of the country. I think proximity to the HQ probably keeps the franchisees in line, plus there are a bunch of corporate owned stores which are amazing.
