UberEATS Food Delivery Service Expands to 10 More Cities

UberEATS launched in Los Angeles in 2014 and has since expanded services to the city of New York, Toronto, Austin, Chicago and Barcelona.

The Uber company is preparing to launch in 10 US cities anUberEATS app for home food delivery service.

According to information published by The Wall Street Journal, the company will implement the food delivery service through their drivers in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Austin, among others.

As announced, users will be able to use a new application to order food from local restaurants. Subsequently, the Uber drivers collect the order and deliver it to the desired location.

This will be the first independent application of the company since the launch of the Uber application and will be available for download on Apple App Store and Google Play Store in late March.

UberEATS out of beta

Uber has been testing the food delivery service in its main application in the past 18 months, but then launched a standalone application in Toronto.

UberEATS launched in Los Angeles in 2014 and has since expanded services to the city of New York, Toronto, Austin, Chicago and Barcelona.

Similar to when you are waiting for a Uber service, users can track the progress of their food in their smartphone. Drivers can choose whether they want to be a UberEATS driver and receive the $5 delivery fee per order.

In addition, there will be an immediate delivery service in which users can obtain their food in less than 10 minutes. However, the extra charges for this service will be paid by the hour, not per order.

Uber is expanding at a massive scale. For small-scale businesses it is very difficult to compete with the company that has a value of 62.5 billion dollars, will continue to expand and has plans to launch the UberRUSH service, a courier service, which will compete with large delivery companies.
