Colin Smith — March 3, 2022 — Business
Uber, the company famous for its ridesharing and food delivery applications, has added a new feature named 'Uber Explore' to its main mobile application. Explore has a wide range of services that are new to the company's network. Two such features are the ability to book a reservation in a restaurant in advance and the ability to purchase concert tickets in-app.
In order to achieve a streamlined restaurant booking system, Uber has partnered with 'Yelp,' which already has experience in remote restaurant bookings. As for the concert system, Uber has partnered with 'PredictHQ' to deliver recommendations on concerts, live events, and in-person experiences. To make the Explore tab even more attractive, users who book an event through this new function are eligible for a 15% discount on a ride to the venue.
