  • L0zBargain on 30/05/2017 - 13:25

    I guess I'm switching from the big mac to the quarter pounder then.

    Thanks OP! :)

    Mix this with the 3 for $3 and the chick cheese meal deal and its such a frugal feed ;)

  • sparkles on 30/05/2017 - 13:38

    How long before can you order stuff via the app? Like do you have to order just before you walk in the door, or can you order today for tomorrow (extreme example obviously).

    • kidd on 30/05/2017 - 14:09

      you can only order when you're at the store

    • Cal13x on 30/05/2017 - 14:40

      So you can 'preorder' in the sense that you can order what you want but they don't send your order through until you're standing in the store at which point you press the "I'm Here" button.

      • sparkles on 30/05/2017 - 15:16

        OK, thanks. Explains it a bit better.

    $0.40 to add Mac sauce, outrage.

  • plentifoo on 30/05/2017 - 14:16

    this is my goto maccas cheatday meal. lemme get this straight, this is not a one time only deal? And you can purchase it for $5 until the next deal comes along with the maccas app? (which is rated pretty badly for something that give you halfprice meals)

    • Vool on 30/05/2017 - 14:22
      +1

      No one really knows yet, they may just be offering these $5 meals to try and get people using the app.

    • plentifoo on 31/05/2017 - 17:42

      Tried it today, only works at the newer maccas that's further from me. But for $5 totally worth it. Also had to be in the restaurant for app to work.

  • Garbotoxin on 30/05/2017 - 14:20

    Where abouts in the app do you find this? I can only see the $3 cheeseburger deal under McClassics

    • Dionnnn on 30/05/2017 - 14:24

      I had to re download the app when it did this

      • Garbotoxin on 30/05/2017 - 14:25

        I literally just downloaded the app upon seeing this deal haha, I'll try again

        • Dionnnn on 30/05/2017 - 15:54

          Haha I deleted my cache and data for the app. And turned on GPS and everything.

    • wtfnodeal on 30/05/2017 - 15:17

      It is called qtr pounder burger golden meal in the app.

  • JimmyJohnson on 30/05/2017 - 14:43

    Lets you choose the option of going through the drive thru, however when I rolled up to the box and told them I had ordered via the app and gave them the order number off the app the worker promptly said they dont do that and they dont do any quater pounder $5 deal. Had to go through the drive thru and park my car, re-order the meal and then pick it up at the counter.

    • smartazz104 on 30/05/2017 - 17:36

      So they said they don't do the meal deal, then let you order it inside…

      • JimmyJohnson on 30/05/2017 - 18:55
        +1

        Yep, she mentioned something about the app being only a head office promotion thing. I knew it would be faster just going inside and picking it up instead of trying to educate a maccas employee

        • takutox on 30/05/2017 - 23:18
          -1

          nothing wrong with that imo, there is nothing to educate or nothing strange

          this indeed looks like a head office app only promotion and can't be applied by staff in store

          +1

          @takutox:

          The app now allows you to use drive thru as an option (compared to the previous weeks big mac golden meal deal), it simply gives you a order # to pass onto the employee who works the box at the drive thru if it wasn't possible to apply why would they now give you the option to choose drive thru

        • takutox on 30/05/2017 - 23:30

          @aaronza:

          oh, i see now, my bad, had no idea they had just updated that!

          that's a cool feature, now you can order outside hours (once incompetent staff catch on)

        • JimmyJohnson on 30/05/2017 - 23:32

          @takutox:

          Yeah seems to be staff not being informed that people can now order on an app and pick up via drive thru. Seems like a simple thing to just pass onto your employees but maccas I guess, now time to enjoy the $1 hamburgers tomorrow

    Neither this or the BigMac (for which I had to argue with their manager after denying the deal claiming Golden meal means it's freshly cooked, not $5 meal) works at Braddon ACT.

      • infinite on 31/05/2017 - 11:50
        +1

        They never have, except for the custom orders.

        They have a persistent cooking schedule where they constantly have X amount of product available at any time, based off the selling stats of the product at that time of the day. The cooks just keep making stuff as the schedule or demand dictates, tossing the final product down a collection line in a giant heating tray & then only cook fresh when custom orders come in.

        • AssociatedMikeologos @ McDonald's on 10/06/2017 - 10:15
          +1

          Actually mate, Maccas works on a 'Just in time' system. The moment an order is pressed at kiosk level, back area is told the type of burger and begins making it immediately. Since it takes 1 to 2 minutes start to finish, any salad changes are usually made by the time the bun is toasted. Honestly we have such a broad array of burgers now (with the Gourmet range, etc) that cooking batches simply doesn't make sense.

          Edit: the only time a burger is made and sits on the heater is when a customer changes their mind, but back area has already produced it. That honestly only happens when back area is quick on their times, and even then the burger can only sit in the warmer for 7 minutes.

    2 x $3 cheeseburger meals or 1 x $5 quarter pounder meal. How do I decide….how?

    • Fobsessive on 31/05/2017 - 19:14

      Well, a cheeseburger on its own is flimsy and not very satisfying in taste.

    Sorry for being a downer but their privacy policy sucks!!

    They may give all your personal details to related entities both here and overseas including third parties and your data may be stored overseas and if any breaches occur they will not be liable.

    • field1985 on 30/05/2017 - 23:14
      +2

      Completely agree. This is purely a data gathering tool. The fact it requires your location is scary. I would not sell my privacy for a Mcdonalds meal.. even if it was free.

      • steveclassy2 on 31/05/2017 - 12:40
        +1

        Wtf really? WHat can they use our location for out of curiosity

        • field1985 on 31/05/2017 - 18:44
          +2

          When location data is collected and shared, the data can be used in ways consumers did not intend, such as to track their travel patterns or to target consumers for unwanted marketing solicitations.

          Since consumers often carry their mobile devices with them at all times and can use them for various purposes, location data along with data collected on the device may be used to form a comprehensive record upon which an individual’s activities may be inferred.

          Amassing such data over time allows companies to create a rich detailed profile of individual behavior, including habits, preferences, routines and behaviours — private information that can easily be exploited.

        • MrMaxwell on 01/06/2017 - 02:13
          +2

          Similar to the Burger Project app…

          Social marketing companies are harvesting serious data through these apps from users in exchange for a fast food meal! You should be getting big bucks for such data not a lousy burger!

      They would put 2 x chicken instead… total price $4.40. =)

      • gottacatchemall on 01/06/2017 - 12:18

        They did that everywhere. Had that meal like 10 times. I think the reason is because the receipt the kitchen gets does not list price and just says "add mcchicken" so they just assume put it in both.

    • Mr Idiom on 01/06/2017 - 19:54

      My app was rooted as well, so I asked the staff there if they were aware of the deal. Come the 4th staff member (the supervisor), still blank looks, but she agreed to put it through anyway based on my description. Probably could have told her it was anything, but I took the honest approach. Not sure what strange method she used, but 2 of these deals cost me a total of $9.25. Guess it's worth a try, hopefully they're more easygoing like the Macca's I was at.

      • Fobsessive on 01/06/2017 - 21:52

        My store gave a BS excuse, saying that their registers haven't been updated yet to be able to manually put it through

          Lame excuse, by the looks of what the supervisor did at my store, they can just put it through any way they like. Guess they don't value customer satisfaction much there, it's not like McDonald's couldn't afford to take the hit.

        Think I'm going to delete it. I've had to reinstall it twice already and I am now officially eating too many Quarter Pounders for my liking. It's easier to just go to HJ's with the coupons stored on your phone. All things considered, Quarter Pounders are pretty damn average too in comparison to a Whopper. McDonald's seem to be seriously rationing tomato sauce too.
