Amazon Switches Prime Restaurant Delivery From Grubhub to Uber Eats

Amazon said Thursday that Uber Eats is now the official restaurant delivery partner for Amazon Prime members in the United States, replacing the company’s commercial arrangement with Grubhub.

Prime members can order from Uber Eats restaurants directly on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Shopping app, the company said. No separate Uber Eats account is required. Orders of $25 or more from qualifying restaurants carry a $0 delivery fee when placed through Amazon, according to Amazon’s announcement.

How the new perk works

Members can search for Uber Eats on Amazon or go to amazon.com/ubereats, sign in with existing Amazon credentials, browse nearby restaurants and pay with saved Amazon payment methods. Amazon said it will send email and push updates during delivery, with Uber Eats sending a final order confirmation.

To launch the offer, Amazon and Uber are giving Prime members $20 off each of their first two Uber Eats restaurant orders of $25 or more during the first 14 days, Amazon said. The benefit is available to all Prime members, including those on half-price Prime for Young Adults and Prime Access plans, the company said.

Jamil Ghani, Amazon’s worldwide vice president of Prime, said the deal is meant to make restaurant delivery easier alongside other Prime services. Andrew Macdonald, Uber’s president and chief operating officer, said the companies built an experience so ordering on Amazon would feel as convenient as ordering in Uber Eats.

Grubhub partnership ends

An Amazon spokesperson told TechCrunch that the commercial agreement that gave Prime members access to Grubhub+ ends Thursday. Amazon said it continuously evaluates third-party offers and identified a chance to improve the restaurant delivery experience. TechCrunch reported that Grubhub could not be reached for comment before publication.

Amazon first offered Prime members a free Grubhub+ subscription in 2022 and later made it an ongoing perk, TechCrunch reported. Amazon also held warrants tied to a stake in Grubhub under a deal with then-owner Just Eat Takeaway.com; TechCrunch said Amazon elected in December 2024 to cash out outstanding exercisable warrants after Just Eat Takeaway announced plans to sell Grubhub to Wonder, while the commercial partnership continued until Thursday.

Amazon and Uber already work together in other areas, including cloud computing and robotaxis, TechCrunch reported.
