The Uber integration is now available to Lightspeed Restaurant customers in the UK.
Lightspeed Commerce and Uber are partnering to directly integrate Uber Direct and Uber Eats marketplace into the former’s platform.
This will enable Lightspeed merchants to list their menu offerings on and take orders from the Uber Eats marketplace, which is accessed by millions of monthly active platform consumers; and take orders from their own branded website through Lightspeed’s Click and Collect solution Order Anywhere, then access delivery via Uber Direct, allowing them to pay only the associated delivery fee without the added cost of developing their own custom delivery fleet.
“On-demand delivery is now a core expectation for consumers, with 75% of them expecting express delivery as an option, and merchants are taking note,” said Caroline Varga, Head of Uber Direct for the UK.
“We’re proud to partner with Lightspeed to offer restaurants solutions that meet their customers’ needs and encourage repeat orders, while giving restaurants the flexibility to offer seamless delivery experiences in the way that works best for growing their business.”
