Instacart expanding into restaurant delivery

Grocery delivery service Instacart is expanding into restaurant delivery, it said in a press release Tuesday.

Instacart has partnered with Uber Eats, the restaurant delivery service app, for the new line of business, according to release. It said that in the coming weeks, its customers “across the country will be able to use the Instacart app to order from hundreds of thousands of restaurants, powered by Uber Eats.”

“Through this partnership, Instacart customers now have access to the best online grocery selection in the U.S. and restaurant delivery, making it even easier for them to conveniently meet all of their food needs from a single app,” Fidji Simo, CEO and president of Instacart, said in the statement.

There will be a new “’Restaurants’” tab in the Instacart app, where users can find local restaurants, place orders and track their deliveries, according to a statement.

Those who pay for Instacart Plus, a service which costs $99 per year or $9.99 per month, will also have free delivery on restaurant orders over $35.

“Our goal is to make it easy for people to go anywhere and get anything,” Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in the Instacart statement. “We’re excited that this new strategic partnership with Instacart will bring the magic of Uber Eats to even more consumers, drive more business for restaurants, and create more earning opportunities for couriers.”
