Uber Eats Japan and Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Support Hydration for Delivery Partners During Summer

Uber Eats Japan LLC (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; General Manager: Yulia Brovkina; hereinafter referred to as Uber Eats Japan) and Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Karin Dragan; hereinafter referred to as Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan) will support hydration for delivery partners during the summer by providing 20 drink tickets per person via the official Coca-Cola app "Coke ON®" (Note 2) to Diamond rank delivery partners (Note 1) of the delivery partner benefits program "Uber Eats Pro" from August 1 to September 30, 2026. This initiative marks the third consecutive year since its launch in 2024.

In recent years, with the increase in extremely hot days across Japan, the importance of hydration for those active outdoors has grown. Uber Eats Japan and Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan are implementing this initiative to support delivery partners' hydration during the summer. During the period (August 1 - September 30), 20 Coke ON drink tickets, exchangeable for Coca-Cola company products at 530,000 Coke ON-compatible vending machines nationwide, will be provided per person to Uber Eats Pro Diamond partners through the Uber Eats delivery partner app. (Note 3) Additionally, messages encouraging the use of Coke ON drink tickets will be distributed within the Uber Eats delivery partner app to promote hydration.

The two companies have been collaborating since February 2024 with the aim of expanding benefits for Uber Eats delivery partners. In the initiative implemented last year, the usage rate of Coke ON drink tickets exceeded the previous year, confirming the steady penetration of this measure among delivery partners. Furthermore, delivery partners who used the tickets provided positive feedback, citing ease of hydration and support during deliveries in extreme heat.

Uber Eats Japan and Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan will continue to collaborate by providing benefits for delivery partners and contributing to the development of the online delivery service industry.
