Uber has just launched Dine Out across Canada, a new feature inside the Uber Eats app that makes the entire dining journey easier while offering restaurants a new path to reach customers.
The introduction of Dine Out is powered by a new partnership between Uber and OpenTable. The collaboration integrates OpenTable reservation technology directly inside the Uber Eats app.
Canadian users can now browse restaurants, book a table and request a ride to the venue without switching between apps. Uber says the goal is to simplify planning and make the process feel as connected and effortless as possible.
The arrival of Dine Out gives Uber Eats a role that extends far beyond food delivery. More than 70% of Uber Eats users in Canada report that the app helps them discover new restaurants. This new feature builds on that behaviour by making it easier to move from discovery to action. Users who frequently browse menus or save favourite spots can now lock in a reservation with just a few taps and immediately arrange their ride.
For restaurants across Canada the feature brings additional visibility at a time when competition for diners is intense. By merging discovery and reservations within a popular app, restaurants gain more opportunities to appear in front of potential guests.
The experience begins with a new Dine Out icon now visible inside the Uber Eats interface. Tapping it brings up a selection of restaurants that support OpenTable bookings. When users choose a restaurant they can confirm their reservation instantly. Once the reservation is secured users can request an Uber ride to the location without leaving the app.
Uber and OpenTable are also offering a promotional benefit for OpenTable Gold Members. Members will receive six months of complimentary Uber One which includes rewards such as zero dollar delivery fees and a percentage discount on eligible Uber Eats orders.
