Restaurant delivery is a new benefit that Instacart, a grocery delivery service, offers its clients in collaboration with Uber Eats.
The San Francisco-based Instacart announced on Tuesday that in the upcoming weeks, its American customers would be able to access a “Restaurants” button within the app. Uber Eats drivers will deliver restaurant orders.

Instacart, always mindful of its customers’ financial well-being, is pleased to announce that complimentary restaurant delivery is now available to Instacart Plus customers. For a nominal fee of $99 annually or $9.99 monthly, these valued customers enjoy free grocery deliveries above $35. For regular Instacart subscribers, Uber Eats delivery fees will apply, ensuring a fair and transparent pricing structure.
Every order will generate an affiliate fee, according to Instacart, but no other financial information about the agreement was disclosed.
According to Instacart, most Americans shop for groceries at least once a week, in-store or online. However, almost one-third also place at least one weekly order for delivery or takeout, and it aims to assist customers in fulfilling that requirement as well.

Customers of Instacart will profit more from the cutthroat supermarket delivery sector agreement. Currently, Instacart holds about 25% of the US market, trailing Walmart (51%), according to market research firm YipitData.
Other delivery services, such as DoorDash and Uber Eats, have a tiny but increasing portion of that market.
Uber Eats predicted that the partnership with Instacart would increase the number of patrons visiting its restaurant partners, particularly in the suburban areas where the grocery delivery service has the highest user base.
