HOW TO HELP YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANTS DURING THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK
As customers dig in, Uber Eats is also giving back. Starting in New York City with a “national rollout to follow,” the food delivery service is trialing a new in-app feature allowing users to directly donate to their favorite restaurants, according to the source for Uber. For every customer contribution, which will go directly to that restaurant, Uber will match each dollar donation – up to $5 million – for the National Restaurant Association's Restaurant Employee Relief Fund.
