Enhancing Hydration Support for Uber Eats Delivery Partners

In a collaboration aimed at promoting the well-being of its delivery partners, Uber Eats Japan and Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan have announced a special hydration support initiative for the upcoming summer. From August 1 to September 30, 2026, diamond-ranked delivery partners in the "Uber Eats Pro" program will receive drink tickets redeemable for Coca-Cola products through the official "Coke ON" app. Each eligible partner will be granted 20 tickets, enabling easier access to hydration during the sweltering summer months.

This initiative is part of an ongoing effort that has been successfully implemented for three consecutive years, starting in 2024. As extreme heat days are increasingly common across Japan, the significance of staying hydrated cannot be overstated, especially for those working outdoors. Recognizing this, Uber Eats Japan and Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan are committed to ensuring that delivery partners have the necessary support to remain well-hydrated while they work.

During the specified period, Uber Eats delivery partners will receive these Coke ON drink tickets through the Uber Eats delivery partner app. This includes access to 53,000 Coca-Cola vending machines nationwide where these tickets can be utilized to obtain various Coca-Cola beverages. Additionally, the app will feature messages encouraging partners to utilize these tickets effectively, thus reinforcing the importance of hydration.

Since February 2024, both companies have been collaborating to enrich the benefits available to Uber Eats delivery partners. Last year's initiative saw an increase in the utilization rate of the Coke ON drink tickets compared to previous years, indicating that the support program is being well received within the delivery partner community. Feedback from participating delivery partners highlighted their appreciation for the ease of accessing drinks and the assistance it provided during strenuous delivery conditions on hot days.

Looking forward, Uber Eats Japan and Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan are committed to continuing their partnership in providing value-added benefits to delivery partners, ultimately fostering growth in the online delivery service sector. This initiative not only aims to enhance the hydration support but also strengthens the overall infrastructure that supports the delivery workforce.

About Uber Eats Pro Program

The "Uber Eats Pro" program is designed to reward delivery partners based on their performance metrics, which include rankings from green to diamond, depending on the number of deliveries completed. Since June 2026, a pilot program has been introduced in several areas including Sendai, Hamamatsu, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Kumamoto. New features have been added to the program where responsiveness and cancellation rates are now included in the ranking criteria, allowing for a dynamic adjustment of ranks throughout the month. In a time of increasing temperatures, the diamond-ranked partners can receive up to 30 drink tickets to further support their needs.

The "Coke ON" application is the official mobile app of Coca-Cola, enabling users to collect stamps and receive drink tickets that can be exchanged for Coca-Cola products at compatible vending machines. The app supports various cashless payment options, enhancing purchasing flexibility and convenience for users.
