Darden Teams with Uber to Test Olive Garden Delivery
By Dean Seal
Darden Restaurants has partnered with Uber Technologies to pilot a first-party delivery service for its Olive Garden restaurants.
The chain-restaurant operator said Thursday that it has entered into an exclusive, multi-year delivery partnership with Uber that will kick off at a limited number Olive Garden locations later this year.
The deal allows Olive Garden guests to order on-demand delivery directly from the restaurant's website or app, with the delivery handled by Uber's national delivery network.
If the pilot is successful, Darden is planning a nationwide expansion at Olive Garden that should be completed by May.
Darden shares rose 11% to $177 in premarket trading after the team-up was announced, despite the company concurrently posting first-quarter results that missed Wall Street forecasts. Uber shares rose 2% to $75.06.
