Uber Eats To Give 25% Off After Ontario Allows Alcohol Delivery
Ellen Smith — August 21, 2020 — Lifestyle
Enjoying a drink with takeout brought a touch of normalcy back into the lives of consumers after strict social distancing guidelines limited restaurant options, which is why The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario temporarily allowed bars and restaurants to offer alcohol delivery with food.
To make this exciting announcement more accessible, Uber Eats promoted it with a 25% discount, encouraging Torontonians to take advantage of the updated alcohol delivery service. To ensure those ordering are of drinking age, consumers are prompted to input their identification information prior to purchase for the driver to review.
Popular Toronto restaurants such as Gusto 101 and Chubby’s Jamaican Kitchen updated their online menus with alcoholic options, providing consumers with extra incentive to support their favorite restaurants.
