Almost everyday, we hear someone talking about Uber, the massively popular ride-sharing company that makes it a breeze to catch a cab. Finding a designated driver has never been faster or easier thanks to the Uber app, and now, with UberEATS, finding a fast meal is as simple as finding a ride.
Uber began its food delivery service in Chicago and New York City, but has since expanded to Los Angeles, Austin, San Francisco, Toronto, Washington D.C. and Barcelona. UberEATS’s promise? During operating hours, a preselected meal, prepared by a local restaurant, will arrive at your location in 10 minutes.
With this in mind, meal options aren’t as varied as on GrubHub or Eat24, but the 10-minute promise is perfect for those looking for a quick refuel. Uber Eats curates a special weekly menu of featured dishes from local eateries for brunch, lunch and dinner focusing on the “best local flavors.”
Similar apps named like Grubhub, Eat24 and DoorDash also provide Uber-style food delivery from local restaurants.
Food delivery is fast-growing trend in the restaurant industry. Many restaurants including Chipotle, BK, Taco Bell, Starbucks and Panera are testing delivery. It’s a great way to generate new revenue streams without adding to your restaurant’s footprint.
