Uber Eats Becomes Prime's Restaurant Delivery Partner

Live Poll

Do you think delivery subscriptions like this one actually save you money?

Amazon and Uber have made Uber Eats the official restaurant delivery partner for Prime subscribers in the United States. Prime members can order takeout on Amazon's website or app and pay with their existing Amazon payment methods.

Why it matters

The partnership gives Amazon a restaurant delivery option without building its own service, while giving Uber access to tens of millions of Prime shoppers. It also puts added pressure on DoorDash, the larger player in restaurant delivery.

Prime members receive $0 delivery on restaurant orders of $25 or more, with a typical savings of $3-$4 per order and a claimed annual saving of over $175. The companies have not yet shown independent data on how much the deal changes subscriber ordering behavior.

The players

Amazon

Amazon is the global e-commerce and cloud company that operates the Prime membership program.

Uber Eats

Uber Eats is the food delivery platform operated by ride-hailing company Uber Technologies.

DoorDash

DoorDash is the largest restaurant food delivery company in the United States and a major rival to Uber Eats.

The details

Prime subscribers can order without creating an Uber account, and Amazon handles the ordering process and delivery alerts while Uber Eats sends the final receipt. Amazon previously shut down its internal Amazon Restaurants service and had offered free delivery through a partnership with Grubhub.

Culture Shift

Amazon shut down its internal Amazon Restaurants service years ago and previously offered free delivery through a Grubhub partnership. The Uber Eats arrangement continues a pattern of Amazon relying on outside delivery companies rather than building its own.

Prime members in the United States can order restaurant takeout through Amazon with no delivery fee on orders of $25 or more. Ordering does not require creating a separate Uber account, so the change affects how members place takeout orders rather than requiring a new app.

The takeaway

Prime members who order takeout often may find the free delivery threshold useful, but the total cost still depends on service fees, tips, and menu markups. Comparing the final checkout total with dining in can show whether the savings hold up.
