| In Asia, a cyclist delivers McDonald's food to customers. |

Things are getting a little more convenient in Asia. The McDonald's there "allows customers to order food with their mobile phones, or from street kiosks, so that customers have multiple options while on the go." The kiosks are available so customers don't have to wait in line. In the United States, people still have to walk or drive to the physical restaurant and wait in line to order and receive food. In Asia, McDonald's uses the slogan "If you can't come to us, we'll come to you." Just like how many pizza restaurants already provide delivery service, McDonald's in Asia are emulating the trend. However, don't expect to see any of this in America any time soon because McDonald's already invested in a huge drive-through infrastructure. It would be great if the McDonald's in America would do deliveries also. If it is possible in Asia, it should be possible in America. Anyway, it is always nice to stay at home and wait for the food to come to me. I like the convenience even if I have to tip the delivery boy.

This delivery service is great but I do not think that we need it in America because in almost every corner we have a McDonal's fast food restaurant.
