Uber Eats introduced Dine Out, a feature that bundles restaurant discovery, table reservations, and transportation into one streamlined experience. Through an integration with OpenTable, users can browse dining options, secure a reservation, and summon a ride—all without hopping between apps. The feature tackles the mild chaos of coordinating dinner plans across multiple platforms, while giving restaurants a visibility boost and more opportunities to fill tables.
OpenTable Gold Members get an extra incentive: six months of free Uber One membership, complete with perks like complimentary delivery and order discounts. By connecting reservations with ridesharing, Dine Out eliminates the gap between "let's go out" and actually arriving at the restaurant. It builds on Uber Eats' role as a discovery engine—73% of Canadian users say the app helps them find new spots—and extends that reach beyond delivery to in-person dining experiences that start with a tap.
