Uber Eats is making it even incredibly easier to gift your moms this Mother’s Day via this campaign, which you will read about in this scoop. Plus, the platform offered “democracy sausages” in Australia, in line with the Pacific country’s elections.
Happy Mother’s Day from Uber Eats!
Today, Uber is strengthening its partnership with 1-800-Flowers.com to expand the latter’s iconic flower arrangements and gifts, which you can directly access via the Uber Eats app on Mother’s Day. This collaboration also highlights the long-time relationship between those companies and Uber Direct, which is in charge of the same-day delivery for flower orders placed directly on 1-800-Flowers.com.
“We’re always looking for new ways to deliver smiles, and this expanded partnership with Uber Eats helps us do just that,” stated Jon Feldman, president of BloomNet® at 1-800-Flowers.com. “With Mother’s Day around the corner, we’re excited to make it even easier for people to celebrate the important women in their lives with beautiful, high-quality arrangements delivered quickly and reliably.”
Beginning today, customers in selected markets can browse and access more than 300 participating local florist partners on 1-800-Flowers.com. Then, they can order their preferred curated selection of bouquets and presents on Uber Eats, which has on-demand and scheduled delivery options that make Mother’s Day gifting easier than ever.
This partnership highlights Uber Eats’s continued investment in on-demand gifting and retail delivery. It isn’t only a platform where you can order food, but also items such as fresh flowers, desserts, specialty items, and everyday essentials.

‘Democracy sausages’
Meanwhile, in other Uber Eats news, the platform offered voters “democracy sausage” on May 3rd, treating “hardworking Australians” who did not have access to a promo on election day. Maverick, a marketing company, operated these sausages.
On that day, the democracy sausages were available in certain parts of Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney until they sold out. Congratulations to those who were able to score them!
