Launch a virtual restaurant
Create delivery-only restaurants that you can operate directly out of your existing restaurant kitchen without opening a new space.
Expand with less hassle and risk
Explore new revenue opportunities
With a delivery-only menu, you can access our marketplace to reach new customers and help increase your profit margins.
Respond to local demand
Uber Eats data can help you identify what people are searching for in your area, so you can build menus that attract more customers.
Experiment with freedom
Virtual restaurants let you test new menus, items, and hours—all without the risks of opening a new brick-and-mortar business.
Starting a virtual restaurant
Step 1: Create a kitchen concept
Developing a separate restaurant concept can increase revenue. We can even help you build a new menu using your existing equipment, operations, and staff.
Step 2: Get in touch with us
Next, you’ll reach out to Support at restaurants@uber.com with a menu, hours, photos of your food (we can also coordinate photography), and POS integration.
Step 3: Go live
Once everything is confirmed, we’ll launch your virtual restaurant as a new merchant in the Uber Eats marketplace and you can start taking orders.
“It’s been amazing to open up another restaurant concept within the same brick-and-mortar.”

- What is a virtual restaurant?
