McDonald’s now delivers click and collect orders to your car at 24 restaurants – see the full list
MCDONALD’S has expanded its car park click and collect takeaway service to 24 restaurants.
This includes the three branches that had already been named as part of the initial test run for its "Click. Park. Collect".
The new car service lets customers make their order on the free McDonald's app, wait in the car park and then have the food delivered to their window.
Motorists will be signposted to special parking bays when they arrive and you then add the bay number to the order when you pay.
The idea is to save diners time waiting around in long drive-thru queues.
When McDonald's first reopened drive-thrus after coronavirus lockdown, some fans had to wait up to three hours in a queue.

Writing to customers, Paul Pomroy, chief executive officer for McDonald's UK and Ireland, said: "This week, we've trialled Click. Park. Collect in 24 restaurants, enabling food to be delivered to your parked car via the My McDonald's app.
"We've introduced Apple Pay too, to provide even greater convenience for those seeking contact-free ways to order and pay through the app."
The Sun has asked McDonald's whether customers will be able to order before they arrive or whether they need the bay number to do so.
It's also yet to confirm what happens if there aren't any free parking bays, so we'll update this article once we hear back.
