Uber Eats’ New Tool Makes Dining Out a Breeze

If you’re trying to find and book the perfect restaurant while visiting a new city, there’s a new tool that makes dining out while traveling a lot easier.

Uber Eats is launching a new feature called Dine Out in collaboration with OpenTable that is designed to make it easy to snag a reservation at your destination’s hot new restaurant and get there easily too. The feature will let you find and book restaurants through the Uber Eats app with one click and arrange your travel there as well.

OpenTable will power reservation making in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, U.K., Ireland, and Australia, and OpenTable VIPs will also be able to use their points on Uber and Uber Eats. Uber One members will get priority for popular restaurants or time slots when they make their bookings. 

After making a dinner reservation, users can get discounts on their Uber rides to the restaurant. 

“With our new Dine Out feature, you can discover new restaurants, claim exclusive in-person deals, and even book a ride to get there with the tap of a button. And, we're proud to team up with OpenTable to make reservations easier than ever,” Rohan Mathew, head of delivery engineering at Uber, said in a statement provided to Travel + Leisure. “It's all part of our commitment to supporting restaurants, helping them drive revenue and reach more diners. Now, whether you're staying in or going out, Uber Eats has you covered.” 

The new one-tap feature will be available in the fall. Uber has also announced a variety of other new features and deals, including route-share options, pre-paid ride passes for frequently traveled routes, and Uber One member days that offer members a variety of discounts on features across the Uber and Uber Eats platforms on specific days.
