When Uber Eats makes sense
You want national reach and exposure to Uber One members, or your area sees heavy tourist traffic that lives inside the Uber app.
When JetFood makes sense
Most of your volume is local regulars. Moving them from a ~30% channel to a 5% channel changes your margin on every single order, and the customer list you build is yours to market to for free.
These are not mutually exclusive: JetFood is non-exclusive and month-to-month, so many partners run both — the big apps for discovery, JetFood as the low-cost channel for locals and regulars. See JetFood’s full price list or the other platform comparisons.
