This is a much bigger partnership than many might realize, considering that both companies are two of the most influential and well-known companies in the country. Starbucks has over 28,000 locations, and Uber Eats delivers both food and drinks from 200,000 restaurants in 36 different countries. Uber Eats alone was responsible for over $2 billion in revenue in simply one quarter in 2018, for some context about how large the service has grown.
Starbucks praised the partnership, stating: “The partnership with Uber Eats brings together the fastest-growing meal-delivery service in the US with one of the largest food and beverage retailers.”
