Toronto Pearson and HMSHost launch Uber Eats service
Toronto Pearson is the first airport in the world to launch mobile order and pick-up service via Uber Eats
Toronto Pearson announced that ordering via Uber Eats is now available at the airport from a variety of HMSHost-operated restaurants across Terminals 1 and 3. This innovative partnership offers convenience and contactless ordering for consumers, while also providing additional revenue for on-site restaurants.
Toronto Pearson is the first airport in the world to launch mobile order and pick-up service via Uber Eats. Available for passengers and employees alike, this service represents the evolution of Pearson’s world-first partnership with Uber Eats and HMSHost, originally announced in 2019.
Over the past year, millions of consumers across the globe have relied on third-party platforms such as Uber Eats to support local restaurants and to enjoy their favorite dishes safely at home. Now, anyone at the airport can download the Uber Eats app for iOS or Android, order a meal ahead of time and pick it up at the restaurant when ready.
Uber Eats at Pearson allows users to avoid line-ups when picking up food and beverage, creating a safer, socially distanced experience that saves time for busy workers, as well as passengers conducting essential travel. No additional fees will be charged to customers for pick-up.
