Uber Eats announces exclusive delivery partnership with Domino's in Canada
Unprecedented global agreement provides new ordering option for Canadian customers, with deliveries handled by Domino's delivery experts
TORONTO, April 30, 2024 /CNW/ - Uber Eats (NYSE: UBER) announced that hungry Canadians can now order delivery from Domino's Pizza Canada, Canada's Favourite Pizza,* through the Uber Eats app. Starting today, more than 260 Domino's locations across Ontario will be available on the Uber Eats app, with all remaining Canadian locations expected to roll out over the next four weeks.
Uber Eats orders in Canada will be delivered by Domino's trained delivery experts and its franchisees, an experience that customers have relied on for more than 60 years.
"Uber and Domino's both have a track record as leaders in technology and innovation," said Lola Kassim, General Manager of Uber Eats in Canada. "As the exclusive third-party delivery partner for Domino's, we're excited to bring one of Canada's most-beloved pizza brands to the Uber Eats app, offering customers the unparalleled convenience, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional customer service experience that are foundational to both our brands."
The Canadian launch of this partnership comes after Uber Eats and Domino's announced a global agreement in summer 2023 and a successful US rollout. The partnership leverages the massive scale of both brands, unifying Domino's international markets under one single master agreement with Uber Eats. Domino's and Uber Eats currently have 27 international markets in common, and the agreement has the potential for Uber Eats to help place orders at more than two-thirds (70 percent) of Domino's stores around the world.
"Domino's is Canada's Favourite Pizza, so we understand why so many Canadians have wanted us to join the Uber Eats platform," said Ken Harrison, Chief Marketing Officer from Domino's Pizza Canada. "By teaming up with Uber Eats, we can reach thousands of new customers across Canada and access the data insights needed to grow our delivery business and improve convenience and efficiency. At the same time, Domino's will continue to be the familiar face greeting our loyal customers right at their doorsteps, whether they order through the Uber Eats app, the Domino's app, or Dominos.ca."
