Hide AdUber Eats is a food delivery platform that connects with local restaurants and retailers via an app allowing customers to order at the tap of a button.
Customers can shop via the Uber Eats app in the same way as they would when ordering from a restaurant.
Once accepted, the order is picked out in-store by Iceland colleagues before being collected and delivered by a courier who uses the Uber Eats platform in as little as 30 minutes.
The partnership gives customers a contactless and cash-free option when shopping for their favourite products and complements Iceland’s existing online service, which also offers free home delivery for customers.
