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

Amazon and Uber are partnering to offer Uber Eats as the official restaurant delivery partner for Prime subscribers in the US, allowing Prime members to order takeout with waived delivery fees on orders over $25 through the Amazon app or website. This move comes as Uber faces a reshaped competitive landscape after the merger of DoorDash and Instacart. Amazon is using its existing payment methods and handles the ordering process and delivery alerts, while Uber Eats sends the final receipt and gains access to millions of Prime shoppers. The partnership is a return to restaurant delivery for Amazon, which previously shut down its own Amazon Restaurants service, and allows Uber to pressure its rival DoorDash, which is the bigger player in restaurant delivery.
