Amazon drops Grubhub, makes Uber Eats its Prime delivery partner

Amazon has made Uber Eats the official restaurant delivery partner for its Prime members in the United States, ending its multi-year arrangement with Grubhub. The companies announced the switch on Thursday, and the Grubhub agreement ends the same day.

What changes for Prime members

Prime subscribers can now order from Uber Eats directly through Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app, without needing a separate Uber account. Orders over $25 ship with no delivery fee, and Amazon is running a launch promotion offering $20 off each of a customer's first two qualifying orders during the first two weeks.

Members who had already activated Grubhub+ through Amazon won't lose that benefit immediately — Amazon says they can keep using it through the end of 2027. But new orders placed through Amazon's own storefront and app will now route through Uber Eats.

The end of the Grubhub deal

Amazon's relationship with Grubhub dates back to 2022, when it began offering Prime members a free Grubhub+ subscription. The arrangement deepened in 2024, when Amazon agreed to increase its potential equity stake in Grubhub to as much as 18 percent. Grubhub's then-parent company, Just Eat Takeaway.com, later agreed to sell the business to delivery startup Wonder, and Amazon cashed out its exercisable warrants in December 2024.

A Grubhub spokesperson confirmed the Amazon agreement is ending. An Amazon spokesperson said the company "continuously evaluates its third-party offers" and saw an opportunity for "an even better restaurant delivery experience" with Uber Eats.

Why it matters

The switch deepens an already expanding relationship between Amazon and Uber. The two companies already work together on cloud computing through AWS, on Zoox robotaxi operations, and on Uber Eats ordering integrated into Amazon's Alexa+ assistant. Folding restaurant delivery into Prime's perks gives Amazon another reason for subscribers to keep paying their annual membership fee, while giving Uber Eats a direct line to Amazon's roughly 200 million Prime members in the US — a potentially significant source of new order volume in a delivery market still dominated by DoorDash.

For Grubhub, now owned by Wonder, losing its highest-profile distribution channel is a setback as the food delivery sector remains intensely competitive on price and reach.
