Uber Eats inks Mitchells & Butlers home delivery deal
Toby Carveries, Miller & Carter, Harvester, Browns and various pubs will soon be on the Uber Eats UK app.
By the end of the year, food from 1,000 Mitchells & Butlers restaurants, bars and pubs will be available for home delivery.
Eve Henrikson, Regional General Manager Delivery, EMEA, at Uber, says: “Pubs across the UK have been resilient in dealing with closures over the past 18 months, and we want to help them thrive by adding home delivery to their business.”
“Customers aren’t just using Uber Eats for a quick takeaway bite. Increasingly, we’re seeing people use the app to order sit-down meals for the whole family, and what better lunch or dinner with family and friends than some hearty pub grub.”
Susan Martindale, Group HR Director and Executive Lead on Delivery at Mitchells & Butlers, comments: “While we don’t think there’s anything better than the full dining in experience, we’re excited to partner with Uber Eats to expand our delivery offer so even more of our customers can enjoy their favourite pub and restaurant meals at home too.”
Currys
Earlier this month, Currys partnered with Uber on a London-based delivery trial that gets small tech products from stores to shoppers in as little as 30 minutes.
Launching the week of 15th November, this is Uber’s biggest UK retailer partnership to date and builds on Currys’ online and delivery proposition, which includes the ShopLive 24/7 video shopping service and its one-hour Order & Collect offering.
During the pilot, which will run for three months, shoppers using Currys’ website can choose from a range of 1,800 tech items, including headphones, printer cartridges, laptops and phone chargers, with the delivery powered by Uber’s technology and network of couriers who use the app.
The pilot phase will be rolled out across 15 London stores, including Croydon, West Drayton, Colliers Wood, Enfield, Hayes Staples Corner, Old Kent Road, Kensington, Brixton, Wembley Stadium and Oxford Street.
Customer will be able to order up until two hours before store closing time. The delivery charge will be £5. The 1,800 products on offer via the service are all under 7kg and have to meet set dimensions in order to fit within the courier’s portable bag.
