Interesting. I know a few restaurants have dropped UE in my area due to the commission fees 30% is ridiculous. I think some restaurants adjust for the commission in pricing in the app not sure on that though. I always figured they were charging McDonald's a very low fee just based on the volume alone.
 
My experience with McDonald's on DD, placing the order and paying with the red card is a million times better than the way it was with Uber. It's so much faster and the payouts are double or triple what they were with Uber. I hope this move by DD doesn't become the way it was on Uber Eats.
 
McDonald's needs to install a automat in their stores for delivery , they already have the ordering kiosks which I use all the time. It'd be so much easier to just walk in with phone pick up order and deliver without any interaction with the staff.

What I would really like to see is a way to bypass the drive-thru line when the lobby is closed. There is no reason that the Uber Eats drivers should be sitting in that line to pick up an order. The order is likely ready (or close to ready) when we get there. We just need to pick it up. We definitely don't need to wait behind the cars that are placing orders and paying at the first window.

There is a McDonald's near me which has a 3rd drive through window. Late at night when there is a long line, we just have to wait till we get to the microphone/speaker where you place the order and if this one Kool and efficient manager is there, she would tell us to pull around the other cars and come to the third window. It cuts 5-10 minutes off the waiting time.
 
I assume it will be like Burger King, which is the same as UE. I absolutely agree about the drive thru after lobby closes. I don't accept any after this time bc of the wait.
So....mcds can't even handle the flow of UE now, what about 5x the orders??

No legitimate reason the straw should be in the drink. Someone hands me a drink with a straw in it I'm gonna assume they sipped it and dump it on them!
Truth be told, I have asked the manager at a restaurant to remove the straw and give me a sealed one.
At first he appeared insulted, then he understood. I told him it was for both our sake.

I didn't click on the link and read the web site, but with regard to your comment there are some restaurants around here that give me drinks to deliver with the straws already inserted. I just deliver what they give me.

I'm with @Rickos69 , this only happened once to me and I asked them to remove it and give me a new top and straw. It makes no sense for them to give it to you like that. I guess common sense isn't common.

In my market it's done with smaller portions for delivery on these apps, versus what you get when you dine in.
