Hallelujah! You'll Soon Be Able to Order McDonald's on Your Phone

Fast food is already convenient by nature, but McDonald's wants to make ordering even easier by allowing you to order and pay on your phone. McDonald's mobile ordering is being tested right now and will soon expand, eventually rolling out to all US locations later this year (if all goes according to plan). That means on those days when you seriously need a McMuffin or large fry ASAP, all you have to do is place the order on your phone, and as soon as you drive up to the store, it'll be handed to you.

You can choose to walk up to the counter, go through the drive-through, or receive your food through newly added curbside delivery, McDonald's has said. And if you're worried about your food being made too far in advance before you even leave your home, rest assured McDonald's has figured out a way to prevent that problem. "After customers place their order and pay in the app, McDonald's uses geo-fencing technology to track the customer's location, so their food is only prepared when they're physically near the store. This will save the food from remaining under heat lamps for too long," Tech Crunch reports.

Several McDonald's locations already have self-serve kiosks to make ordering even faster, and mobile ordering is taking the idea one step further. Right now, McDonald's is testing the tech-focused service, and it's available at 29 stores in Monterey and Salinas, CA, and will expand to 51 more locations in Spokane, WA, soon. By the end of 2017, mobile ordering should be available in all 14,000 US locations plus thousands in Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Australia, and China. As if the news of McDonald's delivery service wasn't exciting enough, we're tempted to skip the delivery fees and take advantage of this digital-ordering option as often as possible.
