Slerp teams with Uber Direct to power on-demand delivery service for UK hospitality sector

Hospitality technology solutions provider, Slerp, has partnered with Uber Direct, to provide the UK’s hospitality sector with an on demand delivery service.

This integration will give businesses of all sizes that offer direct ordering and delivery, from premium hotels and quick service restaurant chains to independent bakeries, coffee shops and delis, access to the same courier network as Uber Eats across the UK.

Slerp works with more than 200 UK brands across the UK food industry, including The Dorchester, The Connaught, The Savoy, Eataly, Pasta Evangelists and Ottolenghi.

Their customers can make a purchase through the business’s own website or app and the Slerp dispatch platform will request a courier via Uber Direct. Customers can choose between ASAP or scheduled delivery times.

They can also use Uber’s real-time tracking technology and, if needed, access to 24/7 customer support services.

Zal Dordi, Chief Commercial Officer at Slerp, says: “Our platform makes it as easy as possible for the hospitality industry to grow their omni-channel businesses through reliable on-demand delivery. In addition, Slerp as a business is quickly growing across the UK from Aberdeen to Dorset and beyond.”

“With Uber Direct offering such an extensive UK wide network, competitive pricing and a straight-forward integration process, it made partnering with them, for the benefit of our customers, an easy decision to make.”

Caroline Varga, Head of Uber Direct UK, says: “Our partnership with Slerp enables both large and small businesses to offer a seamless online ordering and delivery experience, the same as you would now expect to receive from any restaurant or supermarket.”

“It doesn’t matter how big the business is, customers expect deliveries to be on-time – and that’s what Uber Direct enables.”
