Zomato, the global restaurant search and discovery app, and Uber, the smartphone app that connects riders with drivers for on-demand transportation, have announced a partnership that will help both products provide the ultimate experience to their users across the globe. This partnership has been rolled out to Zomato users in 27 cities across 13 countries, namely – India, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Indonesia, the Philippines, New Zealand, the Philippines, Portugal, Qatar, Turkey, UAE, and the United States.
Zomato now brings the seamless Uber experience to the Zomato app, enabling users to book a ride to the restaurant in which they are planning to dine. The feature has already been made available to Zomato users in London and South Africa, and will now be rolled out to users in these other key markets.
“We’re constantly looking for ways to make every meal, for everyone, a great experience. This partnership makes eating out more convenient with the Zomato app connecting to Uber services seamlessly,” said Pankaj Chaddah, Co-Founder and COO of Zomato.
Eric Alexander, Head of Business, Asia, of Uber, adds, “We are delighted to be expanding the scope of our partnership with Zomato. Across six continents, Uber allows riders to connect with their cities in new ways. Through this API integration, Zomato users in 13 countries will now be able to reach those hidden gems in their cities seamlessly and in style.”
Zomato’s partnership with Uber makes getting to restaurants – in style – incredibly easy. Once a user has found their food destination using the Zomato app, a single tap on the Uber button on the restaurant page will allow one to find the nearest Uber. In addition to seeing the estimated fare and how long it will take for the Uber to arrive, one will also be able to choose the Uber service that best suits one’s needs.
