Global Payments adds Uber Eats as preferred delivery partner in North American initiative
Global Payments has announced a partnership with Uber Eats focused on restaurants in the US and Canada. Those that use Genius, its flagship PoS offering, will now have Uber Eats integrated into their system as Global Payments makes the platform its preferred delivery partner.
Restaurants will now be able to onboard Uber Eats through a self-serve process. In addition, orders, updates and cancellations sync instantly between Genius and Uber Eats.
“Our restaurant customers want help standing out from the crowd, and providing technology that enables accurate orders and speedy delivery is one of the best ways to help small and large restaurants alike deliver exceptional customer experiences,” says Chris Siefkin, President of Genius Restaurant at Global Payments.
“Our partnership with Uber Eats allows restaurants to operate with ease while enabling access to Uber Eats’ outstanding delivery and technology network to help restaurants reach and retain more customers.”
“Our deep integration with the powerful and feature-rich Genius platform aims to help make launching and accessing the benefits of Uber Eats faster and easier than ever,” says Jose Garcia Pimentel, Vice President and Head of Uber Delivery, US and Canada. “We are thrilled to work with Global Payments to help restaurants deliver an exceptional customer experience and grow their businesses.”
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
On demand delivery was a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.
We received a record number of entries and many fantastic examples of the continued resilience and dynamism of the retail space during hugely challenging times.
For a full rundown of all of the shortlisted entries, click here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC in Central London on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
