McDonald's Japan Raises Minimum Delivery Order for Breakfast Menu
Listen to the story
McDonald's Japan has announced a change to its morning McDelivery service, raising the minimum order amount required for breakfast orders.
Currently, customers who want delivery of the "McMorning" breakfast menu must spend at least 1,000 yen to place an order. From August 18, this minimum order amount will rise to 1,500 yen, an increase of 500 yen.
The change applies specifically to the morning delivery menu, not to all McDonald's delivery orders throughout the day. Customers ordering lunch or dinner delivery are not affected by this update.
McDonald's has not publicly explained the reason behind the price change. However, many restaurant chains in Japan have recently adjusted prices due to rising costs for ingredients, labor, and logistics.
The McDelivery service allows customers to order McDonald's food for home delivery through the company's app or website, rather than visiting a restaurant in person.
This is not the first time McDonald's Japan has adjusted delivery conditions. Fast food companies have made several pricing changes in recent years as they respond to shifting economic conditions.
Customers who regularly use morning delivery service will need to spend more per order to qualify for delivery starting from the new date.
