Uber Eats launches payment by Ticket Restaurant® card in France in partnership with Edenred

Uber Eats and Edenred France team up to enable Ticket Restaurant® card holders to have their meals delivered in a simple, fast and secure way via the Uber Eats application.

Whether for an impromptu breakfast, a quick lunch on the go or with colleagues, take every opportunity to test this new payment method available from Monday to Saturday. The 600,000 French users of the Ticket Restaurant card will be able to order their meals in the 42 French cities where Uber Eats is available. And this without any minimum order value and regardless of the amount of the bill, a credit card or a Paypal account can be used with a simple click to supplement the amount deducted from the Ticket Restaurant account.

Order your meal on the Uber Eats application via your Ticket Restaurant account in a few seconds:

  1. Connect to the Uber Eats application available on iPhone and Android with your Uber login details
  2. Add your MyEdenred account in the Payment section (‘Add payment method’)
  3. Select a restaurant that accepts the Ticket Restaurant card and choose your dishes
  4. Click on ‘order’, select ‘Ticket Restaurant’ at the time of payment
  5. Have your meal delivered in less than 30 minutes

Uber Eats' mission is to enable everyone to be delivered anywhere, anytime, in a few clicks and with as many choices as possible. Today, Uber Eats offers nearly 7,000 restaurants and 45 different types of cuisine in France.

Edenred, a global leader in payments for the working world, is present in 45 countries. In France, its Ticket Restaurant program is used by 1.8 million employees, more than a third of whom pay for their meals by card or via the mobile application.
