Amazon makes Uber Eats its Prime restaurant delivery partner, replacing Grubhub

Amazon has made Uber Eats its restaurant delivery partner for Prime members in the U.S., replacing the Grubhub+ benefit it had offered since 2022. Starting November 5, Prime members can order restaurant delivery directly on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Shopping app, powered by Uber Eats, with a $0 delivery fee on orders of $25 or more.

Orders run on existing Amazon accounts and payment methods, with no new app, Uber account or credentials required, according to the joint announcement from Amazon and Uber. The benefit covers all Prime members, including those on the half-price Prime for Young Adults and Prime Access memberships, and reaches nearly ten thousand cities and towns.

What changes for restaurants

For restaurant operators already on Uber Eats, the deal adds a new storefront: Amazon's own site and shopping app. The companies said Prime members can choose from hundreds of thousands of restaurants on the Uber Eats delivery network, naming national chains such as Wingstop, Chipotle and Sweetgreen alongside independents including Aga's Restaurant in Houston and Papalote Mexican Grill in San Francisco.

Launch promotions

To drive early orders, Prime members can get $20 off their first two Uber Eats orders of $25 or more within the first 14 days. Prime Visa cardmembers earn 5% back on Uber Eats orders through December 5, 2026. Members can also share the waived delivery fees with one adult in their household through Amazon Family.

Jamil Ghani, Amazon's worldwide vice president of Prime, said the benefit adds "even more value on restaurant delivery with Uber Eats, all in a single membership." Amazon estimates members could save more than $175 per year, based on typical Uber Eats order frequency compared with ordering on Uber Eats directly without an Uber One membership.

The end of the Grubhub arrangement

Amazon's commercial agreement with Grubhub, which gave Prime members access to Grubhub+, ended on November 5, an Amazon spokesperson told TechCrunch, adding that the company continuously evaluates its third-party offers. A Grubhub spokesperson also confirmed the agreement was ending, TechCrunch reported.

Amazon first offered Prime members a free Grubhub+ subscription in 2022 and expanded the agreement two years later to make it an ongoing Prime benefit. Amazon and Uber already work together on cloud computing, Zoox robotaxis and Uber Eats ordering through Alexa+, TechCrunch noted.
