Amazon is making another move into restaurant delivery through a partnership with Uber Eats. The deal brings restaurant ordering directly to Amazon’s website and shopping app, giving US Prime members access to food delivery benefits without needing a separate Uber account.
Under the agreement, Prime members will pay no delivery fees on eligible restaurant orders of USD 25 or more placed through Amazon. Customers can browse hundreds of thousands of restaurants across nearly 10,000 US cities and towns, then complete purchases using their existing Amazon accounts and payment methods.
The partnership is available immediately. New users can also receive USD 20 off each of their first two qualifying orders of USD 25 or more during their first 14 days. According to Amazon, the combination of delivery-fee savings and exclusive promotions could help members save more than USD 175 annually, although actual savings will depend on ordering habits.

The agreement also changes Amazon’s existing restaurant delivery arrangement. The company had offered Prime members Grubhub+ benefits since 2022, making the partnership an ongoing membership perk in 2024. That deal is now ending as Uber Eats takes over.
Amazon will manage the ordering experience and send delivery updates to customers via email and app notifications. Uber Eats will provide the restaurant network and handle deliveries, and customers will receive their final order confirmation from the delivery platform.
The move marks Amazon’s return to restaurant delivery after it closed its own Amazon Restaurants service in 2019. Rather than rebuilding its own delivery infrastructure, the company is using an established partner to expand Prime benefits.

For Uber, the partnership gives it access to Amazon’s large Prime subscriber base and a new way to attract customers. It also comes as competition in food delivery intensifies, particularly as DoorDash pursues major expansion through its proposed Instacart acquisition. However, waived delivery fees do not remove every additional cost. Service charges, regulatory fees, tips, and menu markups may still apply to orders.
