The Chicago Sun Times reports that a couple of McDonald’s locations in Chicago have started offering catering services to nearby businesses, with “Big Macs, Egg McMuffins and a limited selection of other McDonald's breakfast and lunch items, delivered to your conference room, with white-tablecloth service, for a minimum of 10 people.”
The food costs a little more than if you actually went to the Golden Arches, and the sodas are canned, not fountain drinks. One other difference: McDonald’s urges customers to buy potato chips rather than french fries, but for insistent customers, “they'll bring the fries -- with heat lamps and chafing dishes to try to keep them hot.”

See my comments about the Chicago drive-through experiments above. If McDonald’s is wiling to play with ideas such as delivery and catering...what is next?
