TORONTO — Uber and OpenTable have formed a new partnership to provide seamless dining experiences for millions of global consumers. The first-of-its-kind collaboration will pair Uber’s ride-hailing and delivery services with OpenTable’s diverse restaurant network across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Mexico, Australia and Ireland.
In the months ahead, the companies plan to develop integrations of the Uber, Uber Eats, and OpenTable apps to offer dining reservation access, seamless transportation options, membership benefits and more.
“We’re always looking for ways to help people go out and get the best of their cities,” says Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber. “As a first step, our partnership with OpenTable will make it easier than ever to find and book a great restaurant and get there without a hitch. And we’re excited to continue making Uber One even more valuable to our members.”
“Together with Uber, we’re re-defining what it means to dine out in a connected world,” says Debby Soo, CEO of OpenTable. “Dining, delivery and transportation are all intimately connected. This partnership strategically positions OpenTable to make those daily experiences as integrated and frictionless as possible for both restaurants and diners.”
The partnership is expected to roll out in phases throughout the year, with both companies committed to expanding features and deepening integration over time.
