Uber Eats:In-Store Price
Executive Creative Director · Japan
Reframing delivery from occasional indulgence to rational default by removing the trade-off: in-store prices, same as going yourself.
Problem
Delivery in Japan wasn't a bad option: it just wasn't the default. People assumed it cost more, so even when it made sense, they didn't choose it.
Solution
Don't make it cheaper: remove the comparison. Same-price menus, and a single reaction ('え?') repeated across everyday situations. When a category assumption breaks, you don't process it. You feel it.
Results
Price parity at 18,000+ stores, with named merchant partners including Matsuya, Seijo Ishii, Burger King, and Pizza Hut carrying the message at the counter; delivery repositioned from extra cost to default option; embedded across Uber One and the Rakuten ecosystem, and backed by mass OOH and national newspaper placements, not just digital.
