Powering restaurant delivery in the Instacart app is another way for Uber Eats to help drive more orders to our restaurant partners.
This is a way for merchants to get access to millions of customers across the U.S., including families in suburban markets that use Instacart but do not currently use any online food delivery apps. Through this deal, merchants will be listed across more services and Uber Eats becomes an even more powerful way to drive eyeballs (and therefore orders) to their business.
The order is powered by Uber Eats and delivered by the Uber Eats courier network. From a merchant perspective, all orders will flow through Uber systems and no different action or process is required on behalf of the merchant. The merchant can focus on their business and enjoy the additional orders.

Offers run in Uber Eats will also automatically appear in Instacart.
