Olive Garden’s Parent Company Announces Multiyear Deal With Uber

Darden Restaurants, the parent company of restaurant chain Olive Garden, will begin delivering food via the ride-sharing app Uber later this year under a new partnership announced on Sept. 19.
The multiyear delivery deal “will enable restaurant guests to order on-demand delivery via Darden restaurant channels, with delivery handled by Uber Direct, through Uber’s national delivery network,” Darden said in a statement.
Customers will be able to order from the Italian restaurant chain and get their food delivered by Uber in late 2024 at a limited number of Olive Garden locations.
Once a successful pilot of the delivery program has been completed, Olive Garden will likely expand the program nationally to its more than 900 locations by May 2025….
