With the high additional costs of ordering food from certain restaurants on Uber Eats, it is possible that paying for an Uber and ordering directly at those restaurants would be the cheaper option.of the prices of food when bought through Mr D or Uber Eats as opposed to ordering directly has found the prices can often be substantially higher on the third-party platforms.
We created a hypothetical order from a nearby McDonald’s and compared the cost of booking an Uber and buying the food directly from the restaurant with having Uber Eats deliver it from the same branch. That meant that the total additional cost of the food on Uber Eats would have to be at least R72 more to be more expensive than using Uber Ride and direct order.
In total, the additional cost of ordering through Uber Eats was R93.30, 44.3% more than when buying directly. That amount also excludes a tip.While the comparison was informative, the most cost-effective option would still be to drive yourself.That lets you buy directly from the restaurant using its prices and comes with a once-off R15 delivery charge.
