McDonald's tries home delivery to push China sales
Mon Feb 25, 2008 1:56am EST www.reuters.com
"For so many years, customers called into our stores to order food for delivery,
but our staff were so busy and could only meet the needs of those within walking
distance of five minutes," Li said.
He said the company had spent a year preparing for home delivery in Shanghai,
but gave no forecast for how much the service would contribute to sales.
Unlike Yum, which in China has its own delivery units, McDonald's chose to
outsource the operation.
Hong Kong fixed-line telecoms carrier PCCW Ltd (0008.HK: Quote, Profile, Research) has set up a call centre with mapping systems, while delivery is handled by two local firms with riders wearing red uniforms and hats emblazoned with the golden arches.

A strategic agreement signed today in Hong Kong enables the provision of high-definition multi-media solutions for TVB's transmission of live programming from Beijing to Hong Kong and vice versa.
PCCW Global and CNC will jointly provide an end-to-end connectivity solution, including fiber and satellite transmission, high-definition video transmission equipment at both ends and 24x7 on-site support service in Hong Kong to ensure a secure video transmission for TVB to deliver high and standard definition television broadcast during the Olympic Games.
