Uber has announced the launch of a perk where the delivery fee on Black-owned restaurants will be waived while using Uber Eats, according to an email titled “Uber Stands With The Black Community” that went out to customers Thursday night.
Those who use Uber Eats will see that there is a large banner urging customers to eat from Black-owned restaurants, and the Black-owned spots in your are compiled on the app.
It is expected to increase business to Black restaurants, but there is no report on just how much it is expected to increase orders.
In the coming weeks, Uber also plans to offer discounted rides to Black-owned small businesses.
According to the NY Times, Uber’s staff as of 2019 was 45% white, 33% Asian, 9% Black, and 8% Hispanic.
