The next time you get hungry waiting for your flight, all you’ve gotta do is pull up your Uber Eats app!
The popular food delivery app has partnered with Toronto Pearson Airport and HMSHost to bring travellers delicious eats straight to their gates.
As part of a pilot program, Uber Eats users no longer have to risk losing their beloved gate seat in order to fuel their appetites.
Those who have the Uber Eats app can now order food from restaurants like Caplansky’s Deli, Paramount Find Foods, Smashburger, Smoke’s Burritorie, or Fionn MacCools and have it delivered straight to their gate. From shawarma and burgers, to shepherd’s pie and smoked meat sandwiches, there are plenty of food options to satisfy guests’ cravings.

Uber Eats delivery is currently available for International and Domestic passengers in Terminal 3.
“Just last month, Toronto Pearson was voted by passengers as the Best Large Airport in North America as part of Airports Council International’s Airport Service Quality program,” said Scott Collier, Vice President, Customer and Terminal Services at the Greater Toronto Airports Authority in a press release. “We also received the Most Improved Airport in North America recognition, and this innovative partnership with Uber Eats and HMSHost, unlike among airports worldwide, underscores our commitment to continued innovation in passenger service. We couldn’t be more excited to pilot this innovative offering for International and Domestic passengers in Terminal 3.”

The Toronto Pearson and Uber Eats’ pilot runs until the third quarter of 2019.

The U.S. born chain tweeted it now has a store in Terminal 1 at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. Specifically, near Gate D20 – and rumoured to hit the shelves of Hudson’s Bay stores and to open outposts in Holt Renfrew. Let’s hope another store opens up in the downtown core ASAP.
According to CP24, the newly opened Toronto location is 1,100 square-feet, and has over 500 products, a chocolate station and sells dozens of varieties of candies, travel gear, accessories and other confectionery-themed products. In some US stores, there have party rooms, ice cream and dessert parlours, candy cocktail bars, and other extravagant sweet-related services. Now, we can only expect over the top desserts like this one:
Dylan’s Candy Bar was founded by Ralph Lauren’s daughter Dylan Lauren in 2001. Since then, the chain has blown up and has become a favourite of many celebrities.
