Pharmacies meet Uber Eats: A new era for healthcare convenience
Until recently, customers in Ireland could order meals, groceries or flowers in minutes, but not pharmacy essentials. That’s changing fast.
Thanks to LUDA Partners, Irish pharmacies can now connect directly with Uber Eats, giving customers quick access to trusted pharmacy products delivered to their door.
It’s a major step forward in how community pharmacies reach patients, combining speed, convenience and reliability, all while keeping pharmacies at the centre of the digital health ecosystem.
LUDA Partners: The technology powering it all
LUDA isn’t a delivery app, it’s the connector.
Our technology links local pharmacies with platforms like Uber Eats and Just Eat, managing everything behind the scenes:
- Product catalogue setup and optimisation
- Real-time stock updates
- Marketing campaigns
Pharmacies don’t pay Uber Eats directly, they work through LUDA under one simple structure, 10% + VAT per order to LUDA, all-inclusive, with no fixed fees or extra costs. You pay absolutely no extra fees to Uber Eats.
This way, pharmacies stay focused on what they do best, serving their patients, while LUDA keeps the technology running. All you need to do is prepare the order when it comes in and wait for the courier to collect it.
How it works for pharmacies
1️⃣ Join LUDA Partners. Pharmacies fill out a short form to get connected.
2️⃣ Integration. LUDA helps the pharmacy set up their catalogue and manages the connection to Uber Eats (no technical setup required).
3️⃣ Go Live. Once activated, orders appear on a new Sunmi device. The pharmacy simply prepares the order and hands it to the courier.
4️⃣ LUDA Handles the Rest. Marketing, optimisation and customer service run automatically through LUDA.
Total setup time? Around 20 minutes, with no disruption to the pharmacy’s day-to-day operations.
Real growth, real results
300+ pharmacies have already joined LUDA in the UK and Ireland, and are seeing strong performance, with the quick-commerce vertical growing over 70% month-on-month.
This growth means more customers discovering their local pharmacies, and more orders being placed through platforms like Uber Eats, all without extra effort.
Here’s what Vivek Sharma from Hollytree Pharmacy, Kent shared:
“LUDA Partners provided exceptional service in facilitating our integration with the quick commerce platform for the sale of OTC items. Their expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail ensured a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.”
Now, Irish pharmacies are joining that success story, powered by LUDA and Uber Eats.
