Uber Eats has teamed up with digital food ordering platform Olo to simplify third-party delivery for restaurants.
The partnership will see Uber Eats integrate directly into the point-of-sale (POS) of various restaurant brands through Olo Rails solution.
Orders placed via the Uber Eats app or website will be injected directly into a restaurant’s order stream to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
The integration adds operational ease by removing the need for separate ordering streams.
Uber Eats global head of business development Liz Meyerdirk said: “This integration will streamline the Eats ordering experience and help restaurants benefit from the strength and reach of our platforms.”
