How Uber Eats and Toast are helping restaurants

Aggregator partnerships keep growing. Uber Eats partnered with OpenTable to find deals, book reservations and plan rides; DoorDash bought SevenRooms and began rolling out booking reservations; and Grubhub with Amazon and Instacart.

🚀 The holiday season is shifting as on-demand delivery becomes the ultimate last-minute solution for shoppers! With the annual Christmas rush bringing its usual chaos, Uber Eats is stepping up its game with innovative technology aimed at outsmarting competitors like Deliveroo. Their new strategy focuses on maximizing order efficiency and expanding their delivery capabilities, positioning themselves as leaders in the festive delivery landscape. For professionals in the logistics and tech sectors, this evolution highlights the crucial role that technology plays in adapting to consumer needs, especially during peak times. Embracing innovation can be the key to staying ahead in a competitive market. #UberEats #DeliveryInnovation #Logistics #TechTrends #HolidaySeason #OnDemandDelivery

When Uber first launched Uber Eats, the idea sounded almost absurd—you push a button, and lunch arrives in five minutes. No phone calls, no waiting. Just tap and eat. What seemed like a joke on late-night TV quickly became a global delivery revolution. Within a few years, Uber Eats expanded to over 6,000 cities across 45 countries, turning a simple concept into a multi-billion-dollar business. The innovation wasn’t in food—it was in logistics, data, and speed. Travis Kalanick’s vision was never about sandwiches; it was about redefining convenience. By flipping the order process—food ready before you even order—Uber turned five minutes of hunger into a trillion-dollar lesson in instant gratification.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how restaurants approach delivery. It’s easy to treat it like a checklist: DoorDash ✅ Uber Eats ✅ Grubhub ✅ But the longer I’ve worked in digital and off-premise, the more I’ve seen that delivery works best when it’s intentionally designed, not just turned on. Delivery is a channel. Strategy is how we show up on that channel. The brands I’ve seen succeed tend to focus on a few things: • A menu that holds quality in transit • Packaging that supports the guest experience • Pricing that protects contribution margin • A pickup flow that keeps in-store ops running smoothly When those pieces work together, delivery doesn’t have to be a margin drag — it can actually support sustainable growth. I’m curious what others are seeing: What’s one small off-premise adjustment that’s made a big difference for your team or brand?

Every week - the same numbers, but different results. That’s how the story of our client began - a restaurant owner trying to combine POS, DoorDash, UberEats, and Excel reports into one system. Manual reconciliation took hours every week - and still, the data didn’t add up. We stepped in with ModernOps: ⚙️ synchronized all platforms, 📈 automated the reports, 🧠 and made the data update itself.

HelloFresh has reported its Q3 results – which show a dip in revenue that the company attributes to its decision to go after long-term customer retention over topline growth. Google has quietly introduced a new feature allowing merchants to advertise subscription products directly within Shopping ads. And Deliveroo has added Pets Corner to its stable of retailers – consolidating its growing position as an instant-access version of the high street.
