Uber Eats is quietly testing a ‘dine-in’ option for customers who want to eat in restaurants

Customers in Austin, Texas, can now choose to “dine-in” in addition to ordering delivery or pick-up.
“A Dine-in order is when you place an order through the Eats app and you go to the restaurant to collect it,” Uber states on its list of frequently asked questions. “You can then choose to sit in the restaurant to eat your food.”
As delivery and ordering ahead via mobile apps is increasingly expected, restaurants and delivery services are battling for dominance in the convenience category.
