McDonald’s, the US-based multinational quick service restaurant (QSR) chain, opened its first Indonesian restaurant in 1991 and operated 279 QSR and fast food outlets across the country by 2022. In Indonesia, it offers options such as fish fillet burgers, chicken burgers, McChicken and breakfast options such as egg and cheese muffins and breakfast wraps.
Live food stalls available with Wedding Mekti
The newly launched wedding package includes 100 chicken burgers and 100 four-piece McNuggets. Consumers can request a live food stall at the wedding event for an additional fee. The company also aims to offer catering services for large events other than weddings, based on consumer queries following the launch of the new service on Instagram.
McDonald’s Wedding Mekdi package serves around 100 guests, and is priced at $232. This offers consumers value for money, as the food items offered in the package would cost $326 when purchased individually. The wedding package can thereby appeal to those looking to cut their wedding costs or on a limited budget. It also provides convenience and saves time as the food items are simple, ready to eat, and can even be consumed on the go.
