How to order Mcdonald’s delivery in Shanghai (and Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen…)
How to order Mcdonald’s delivery in Shanghai (and Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen…)
Many people ask me how to order McDonald’s delivery in Shanghai – and I’ve been taking advantage of this superb service for the last four months, but I keep losing the telephone number (well to be truthful, I keep losing my phone, which has the number in it…). With this in mind, I am putting simple steps here so that wherever I am I will be able to find my ordering instructions:
Step 1
Call 4008-517-517 from your home phone or mobile
Step 2
Press ’2′ for English (or press ’1′ for Chinese)
Step 3
If this is your first time calling, you need to register your address with them. So just tell them your address (they are speaking English after all). If it’s not your first time, they will tell you your phone number and address before proceeding to Step 4…
Step 4
Order your Big Mac, McChicken sandwich or whatever other delicious food that you want!
That’s it! They will deliver it in between 30-45mins and it’s (usually) warm-hot. Delivery charge is 7rmb. The service is 24 hours a day and follows the ‘breakfast menu / daytime menu’ times of the normal McDonald’s (I don’t know what they are as I don’t tend to wake up before ‘daytime menu’ begins :E ).
*Update* – The McDonald’s delivery number is the same for the whole of China, so if you’re in Beijing, Guangzhou or Shenzhen just follow the same instructions to order McDonald’s delivery! Enjoy!

I thought you might get a laugh out of the fact that I ran a contest after eating MacDonald’s for lunch to hear about other people’s lunch experiences. Shanghai is a busy place: http://blog.sekkeistudio.com/2008/12/04/mcdonalds-anyoneour-man-in-shanghai-sits-in-on-a-lunch-with-the-gang-of-sekkei-studio/

Oli, you’re a prince. I just hope I don’t get hooked on this sh*t now that I have the power of delivery.
July 7, 2009 at 1:08 am
G.S. – I’m not going to sit here and lie to you, I’ve been down the dark road of deliverydiction and I’m out the other side. Am I still alive? Yes. Is it a life worth living? Only you can decide. (6.30am hash brown binging = win!).
ps, Factory website looks awesome, I’m coming down soon to check it out!

Just be sure you live within about 20m of the store…apparently 4 blocks is just too far. “out of our delivery area” click
May 30, 2010 at 6:37 pm
Do you live in Shanghai? Didn’t think it was possible to live too far away from a McD…

This is great , why cant they get macdonalds to deliver in the UK ? Young people would be glad to ride around and also earn some money.

Sometimes you need to give in and realise: You deserve it.
September 20, 2010 at 11:15 pm
I can not thank you enough for providing this extremely helpful information. I am starved, as I had a 12hr flight to Shanghai, and i’ve even tried looking around for restaurants but have been unsuccessful due to language barrier.
Just waiting for my delivery now.. thanks again brotha!
p.s. i was wondering if you happen to know some Indian/Pakistani restaurants around.
