Domino's partners with Uber for food orders

Domino's Pizza on Wednesday said it had entered into a new agreement with Uber that will allow customers to order Domino's products through Uber's food delivery apps, reports Reuters.

The company said the agreement allows US customers to order Domino's products through Uber Eats and Postmates apps with Domino's and its franchisees handling the delivery.

Domino's said Uber Eats will be its exclusive third-party platform in the US until at least 2024, as per its "global agreement" with the ride-share company.

The pizza maker, which had flagged a slowdown in the delivery business in April, said the partnership would begin in four pilot markets in the US in the fall.

Ordering on Uber's delivery apps is expected to be enabled across the country by the end of 2023, with Domino's and its franchisees handling deliveries, the company said. Domino's had been a holdout in working with third-party delivery companies, preferring instead its own app, website and drivers.

But being listed on Uber Eats and Postmates means it will now be easier for Domino's to reach new customers used to ordering there.
