The popular third-party food delivery service, Uber Eats, recently announced the brand is now in 120 cities across Canada. The new service will help local businesses connect with a larger, "hungry" audience – especially at a time when dining in is prohibited or limited.
"These days, supporting your favorite restaurants isn’t always easy. We are excited to offer Uber Eats in 120 new markets in Canada to help provide additional support for the struggling industry. We are committed to working with the city’s restaurant scene to bring you the best Belleville has to offer at the touch of a button," Lola Kassim, General Manager of Uber Eats Canada.
Uber Eats allows restaurants to choose between flexible options like "0% pick-up, 7.5% for online ordering, and 15% for restaurants who use their own delivery staff in addition to our full-service option."
