Amazon is getting back into restaurant delivery with Uber Eats team-up

Amazon and Uber are teaming up to make Uber Eats the official restaurant delivery partner for Prime subscribers in the US. The news comes as Uber faces a drastically reshaped competitive landscape with the merging of rivals DoorDash and Instacart. Under the new partnership, Amazon Prime subscribers will get $0 delivery fees on restaurant orders of $25 or more directly through Amazon’s app or website — without having to use Uber Eats or even create an account.

Essentially, Amazon Prime subscribers who never bothered to sign up for Uber can now order takeout without needing to create an Uber account. Prime members can order Uber Eats takeout directly on Amazon’s website or app using their existing Amazon payment methods. Amazon handles the ordering process and delivery alerts, while Uber Eats sends the final receipt. Uber says it’s designed to let shoppers buy meals, groceries, and everyday household items
