Uber Eats has launched supervised teen accounts in the UK, allowing users aged 13-17 to place food orders independently while maintaining parental controls comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Uber Eats has introduced a supervised account feature for teenagers aged 13 to 17, designed to facilitate independent food ordering within a managed family environment. The initiative, launching across the UK, responds to consumer demand for platforms that balance adolescent autonomy with parental oversight. Platform Functionality and Oversight The "Eats for Teens" feature allows parents and guardians to invite teenagers to create a supervised account linked to a central Family profile. The system is designed to provide visibility and control through several management tools: Spending Controls: Parents can set custom monthly spending budgets for the teen account. Order Tracking: Notifications are sent to parents when orders are placed, with live delivery tracking available via the parental device. Account Linkage: The teen account remains tethered to the main Family profile, ensuring all activity is recorded within the parent-managed dashboard. Parents can follow these 3 simple steps to get their teen’s account set up in the Uber Eats app: Tap Account > Family to create a Family profile. Tap Invite Family > Teen > Choose contact and select their name from your contacts (Aged 13-17). Make sure your payment information is up to date and a spending limit has been set before your teen makes their first order. Then follow the steps below to set up the account on the teen’s device: Once the above steps are completed by the parent or guardian, the teen will receive an invitation to join Uber for teens or to download the Uber Eats app if they haven’t already. Once the teen or their guardian finishes the setup process on the desired device, they can begin using their teen account to place orders independently. Safety Protocols and Compliance To maintain safety standards and comply with regulatory expectations regarding the sale of age-restricted goods, Uber Eats has implemented automated filtering protocols on these accounts. Filtered Inventory: The teen-friendly interface restricts access to age-restricted goods, including alcohol and energy drinks. Delivery Standards: Only delivery personnel with high performance ratings are eligible to handle orders generated through supervised teen accounts. Delivery Flexibility: Users retain the option to request contactless delivery, allowing orders to be left at the door. Vicki Shotbolt, CEO of ParentZone, said: "Autonomy and independence is really important for young people as they mature and prepare for adulthood. Having tools that offer transparency for parents and involvement in any choices is one way to help teens to learn with guidance and guardrails." The launch reflects an expansion of Uber’s family-centric platform features, following the prior introduction of teen accounts for its ride-hailing services. By incorporating similar safety and management protocols into the food delivery segment, the platform aims to capture market share within the family demographic while addressing safety concerns. According to Merve Basci, General Manager for Uber Eats in the UK, the platform seeks to provide tools that assist teenagers in developing independence within a structured environment. The company intends to continue monitoring consumer response as the feature rolls out during the summer period.

PepsiCo has launched a comprehensive long-term partnership with Soil Capital to promote regenerative agriculture practices among farmers within its European supply chain, with a specific focus on rapeseed oil production across the UK, France, and Belgium. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. Featured in this news Soft drinks PepsiCo The Newsroom PepsiCo has launched a comprehensive long-term partnership with Soil Capital to promote regenerative agriculture practices among farmers within its European supply chain, with a specific focus on rapeseed oil production across the UK, France, and Belgium. Strategic Initiative for Sustainable Agriculture This ambitious initiative represents a significant component of PepsiCo's broader sustainability commitment, targeting over 35,000 acres of farmland. The partnership is designed to provide farmers with essential tools and comprehensive support systems to facilitate their transition to more sustainable agricultural practices. The collaboration addresses critical financial and structural barriers that traditionally prevent farmers from adopting regenerative practices. Through strategic provision of digital tools, comprehensive climate assessments, and targeted financial incentives, the program facilitates the transition from synthetic inputs to organic fertilizers and cover crop implementation. Environmental Impact and Regional Customization These transformative changes are projected to deliver substantial environmental benefits, including improved soil health, enhanced water efficiency, and reduced carbon emissions. The initiative ensures a sustainable supply of key ingredients for major PepsiCo brands including Lay's and Walkers. The program incorporates region-specific customization to address local agricultural challenges, such as the heavy rainfall experienced in France during 2024 and soil compaction issues prevalent in the UK. This tailored approach aims to create a more resilient and sustainable agricultural ecosystem across participating regions. Measurable Environmental Results Initial program results demonstrate significant environmental improvements. Participating farmers have achieved remarkable greenhouse gas (GHG) balance improvements, with emissions reductions of 38% in France and 36% in the UK. Cover crop adoption has increased substantially, rising from 49% to 65% in France and from 22% to 34% in the UK. These practices contribute to enhanced soil organic matter and improved water retention capabilities, while simultaneously decreasing mineral phosphorus fertilizer requirements by 50% among participating French farmers. Industry Leadership and Global Commitment "Farmers are at the heart of a sustainable food system and regenerative agriculture is key to building resilience for our food supply and farming communities," stated Archana Jagannathan, chief sustainability officer at PepsiCo Europe. The initiative aligns with PepsiCo's ambitious global goal to drive regenerative practice adoption across 10 million acres by 2030, building upon the successful implementation of practices on 3.5 million acres achieved by 2024. Chuck de Liedekerke, CEO of Soil Capital, emphasized the partnership's farmer-centric approach: "This partnership is founded on putting farmers first and transforming the food system at scale." Technology-Driven Monitoring and Verification To ensure program transparency and impact measurement, the initiative employs a sophisticated digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system. This advanced system utilizes satellite technology and sophisticated modeling to track GHG emissions and soil carbon storage, providing farmers and companies with data-driven insights to continuously refine their approaches. David Fuller-Shapcott, a UK farmer participating in the program, shared his positive experience: "With the right support, I've introduced cover crops and reduced tillage, cutting my farm's emissions by 360 tonnes between 2022 and 2023 and becoming a net carbon storer."
