The acquisition will help restaurants grow through bigger orders and new customers, according to the release. Diners will be able to order food for group events more easily, while Uber Eats couriers will get new opportunities to earn.
“We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Uber, ezCater CEO Nihad Rahman said in the release. “Our team is proud of what we’ve built, the leading platform for workplace catering, and a major growth channel for our restaurant partners. We’re energized to bring our catering and B2B expertise to Uber’s global ecosystem of customers, merchants and couriers.”
EzCater generated more than $2.5 billion in gross bookings over the last 12 months, and its average order values are over $400, per the release.
“Catering is a big business, and can be a huge revenue stream for restaurants,” Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in the release. “…With Uber’s reach, we can bring that experience to millions more customers and help restaurants win more of these valuable orders.”
PYMNTS Intelligence’s September 2026 edition of The Wage to Wallet Index found that 37% of working adults in the United States earned money from platforms such as Uber in the past year.
It also showed that about 30% of service platform workers stopped that work within the year due to insufficient pay or work, the associated time and costs, and personal or family needs.
“For banks, FinTechs and platform operators, the stakes extend beyond the number of available jobs,” PYMNTS reported. “Workers may earn across several platforms or combine assignments with traditional employment. A fuller view of their pay can help them plan for expenses and see what they take home after costs.”
