Domino's CEO Russell Weiner said that the Uber Eats Marketplace will give Domino's and its franchisees a new segment of customers.

"Domino's has a history of successfully entering new marketplaces," Weiner said in a statement. "Domino's sells more food on its digital platform than any pizza company in America. Now that aggregators are at scale, the next logical marketplace for us to enter is order aggregation."

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said both companies have a sustained track record of leadership in technology and innovation.

"We're excited to announce this unique partnership with Domino's globally—both starting as their exclusive third-party marketplace partner in the U.S. and making their menu available to our consumer base around the world—and we look forward to bringing customers the convenience, technology, and experience that are foundational to both of our brands," Khosrowshahi said in a statement.

Uber Eats will be the exclusive third-party platform for Domino's in the U.S. until at least 2024, according to the company.
