Easy, streamlined delivery from favorite Bend-area restaurants now available
Starting today, June 14, Bend residents and visitors are able to order some of their favorite food from local restaurants with the Uber Eats app, seven days a week. Deliveries will be available in Downtown Bend, Orchard District, Old Farm District, River West, Larkspur, Century West, Mountain View, Aubrey Butte, Old Bend and more.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with some great area restaurants,” said Pat Winter, Uber Eats general manager for the Northwest. “Via Uber Eats, customers can get the food they love quickly and conveniently. It’s for anyone who wants an easy and reliable way to get their favorite food–no matter what they’re doing or where they are.”
The free, standalone Uber Eats app is available for both iOS and Android. Notable Bend-area restaurants partnering with Uber Eats include Barrio, Boxwood Kitchen, Pastini Pastaria and Hola!, the latter of which has three locations that will be serviced by Uber Eats. Menu prices are set by the restaurants themselves and Uber adds a booking fee of $4.99.
The Uber Eats app is now available in more than 220 cities in 32 countries, and the number of customers using the app is growing rapidly. Last month, analytics platform Second Measure showed that Uber Eats is the fastest-growing meal delivery application in the U.S.
Many restaurants have indicated that partnering with Uber Eats has led to an uptick in revenue by giving them access to new customers and letting existing customers access them in a new way.
“Uber Eats has allowed Sassy Onion to expand and significantly grow off-site sales over the last year,” said Kevin Boyles, President of Sassy Onion in Salem. “I would recommend their service to any business looking to expand.”
Uber Eats facilitates food delivery though an app separate from Uber’s rideshare app because requesting a ride and ordering a meal are two different experiences. The similarity, however, is that Uber makes both easy and reliable. The same technology company that brought people access to rides at the touch of a button is now doing the same for food delivery. A video released by Uber Eats last year provides an overview of how easy the app is to use.
