Starting at 09:00 (up until 21:00), locals in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Midrand, Durban, Cape Town and Bloemfontein can now place an order at selected Chicken Licken® outlets through the app, seven days a week. Founded in the South of Johannesburg, Chicken Licken® is the largest non-American owned fried chicken franchise in the world.

Ailyssa Pretorius, general manager for Uber Eats South Africa, says, "For years South Africans have been calling out for Chicken Licken® to deliver to their doorsteps. We are thrilled to be the first delivery app to answer this demand and support Chicken Licken® with their new venture into the online food delivery space, providing them with the technology to adapt and thrive in the growing food delivery market."

Chantal Sombonos van Tonder, owner of Chicken Licken®, adds, "Given the social outcry for Chicken Licken® to offer a delivery service, we are taking a step in the right direction of addressing our customers craving and, in so doing, partnering with Uber Eats. This has proven to be a much-needed addition to our business model and hopefully something that proves beneficial to the brand, and ultimately, the consumer."

The partnership comes after the launch of the Uber Eats app in Soweto.
