Those living and working in Newport can now order food via Uber Eats, with McDonald’s and KFC the first takeaways to sign up to the delivery service.
The popular app, which is launching for the first time on a UK Island today (Thursday), will enable customers to receive their next meal directly to their door at the touch of a button.
Customers can order from McDonald’s and KFC straight away with local favourites including Novo, Tamarind, and Cornerstop Cafe also joining the platform in the coming weeks.
The app, which can be downloaded to iOS and Android devices, is available every day of the week from 08:00 to midnight. You can also visit www.www.ubereats.com.
Toussaint Wattinne, General Manager of Uber Eats in the UK, said:
“We are really excited to be launching in Newport, firstly with McDonald’s and KFC and a host of local restaurants joining in the coming weeks. As the nation’s lockdown slowly beings to lift, we hope to make it even easier for local residents to enjoy a variety of delicious food both comfortably and safely.”
Here’s how to order using Uber Eats:
- Download the free app or go to ubereats.com to see all the restaurants available in your area. You can sign in using your existing Uber account or create a new one.
- Set your location – you can select your home or any other address.
- Find the perfect meal – browse local restaurants or search by cuisine type or dietary requirements to find exactly what your tastebuds are asking for.
- Place your order – pick the items you want right now or schedule your order to arrive whenever is most convenient for you.
- Track the progress of the delivery – get updates as your order is prepared and on its way to your destination. Enjoy!
A government crackdown on eating junk foods, and now you can get it without the benefit of a bit of exercise and without leaving your chair, oh well, can’t stop progress
Good point. One advantage, they won’t be lobbing their litter out of their car windows.
Maybe could get the Uber driver to do it as a new service – UBER LITTER
We already have Go Eats which is created by island people I believe. Should we not be supporting them
“created by island people” there you go.
Downloaded the app. Put in my Isle of Wight postcode. – “We’re coming soon. We’re not quite there yet.” So when is it launching?
