JUST Eat yesterday became the second UK delivery firm to partner with McDonald's after signing a multi-million-pound deal with the fast food chain.

The delivery giant, which is set to enter a £6bn merger with Dutch firm Takeaway.com, said the partnership will hit the road later this year. It comes as a blow to rival Uber Eats, who until now was locked in an exclusive delivery partnership with McDonald's in the UK.

Just Eat sales jumped eight per cent in 2019 after the firm secured partnerships with high-profile chains such as KFC and Burger King.
