Uber Eats launches new Dine-In feature

09 April 2021

Uber has today launched a new feature which will allow customers eating in at restaurants to order and pay via the app.

The 'Dine-In' tool goes live today in the UK ahead of the easing of lockdown restrictions on
Monday (April 12) for pubs and restaurants with outdoor space .

Uber says the feature will be available at all sites that are already registered on Uber Eats.

Users will find the Dine-In option in the normal Uber Eats app and will be able to access a participating restaurant's menu by scanning a unique QR code.

The aim of the new function is to prevent unnecessary contact with objects which are touched by several people, such as menus and card machines.

Payment can be taken via the app in the same way as customers buy food for delivery on Uber Eats.

Toussaint Wattinne, General Manager for Uber Eats in the UK and Ireland said: 'We know the last year has been incredibly hard for restaurants, and we want to champion small businesses and do our bit to support the UK's economic recovery.

'The best way to support restaurants is by getting back out there to support your local, and our new Dine-In feature will enable restaurants to open their doors safely, process orders efficiently, and at no extra cost.'

'Dine-In' is being rolled out to all users in the UK today after successful trials at various sites in the UK last year.

Uber reportedly is waiving all commission fees and payment processing costs until the end of 2021 for the eservice.
