The drivers may be familiar faces if you already use the rideshare portion of the Uber service. The Uber Eats app is separate from the rideshare app but the drivers are typically the same for both.
Drivers can choose if they want to accept assignments from both services or just one. This will allow drivers to spend more time out on the road, whether it be delivering food or people to different locations around Macon.
Those interested in driving for Uber and Uber Eats can sign up through its online application. Drivers must be at least 19-years-old, with a valid drivers license, a smartphone and have a car that meets the Uber requirements. Those requirements include a 1998 or newer vehicle, two doors and not a salvaged vehicle. Drivers must also go through a background check with the service in order to partner with them.
The service is also taking applications from local restaurants who want Uber Eats to deliver their cuisine to customers. The application is available on their website.
Uber Eats is available globally in more than 200 cities. Macon joins Columbus, Athens, Atlanta and Augusta in the state of Georgia to have the Uber Eats service.
Uber Eats is the second food delivery service to launch in Macon in 2018. Waitr began taking orders in April of this year.
