Uber reveals new meal delivery app
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
Uber is looking to "eat up" even more of your money by offering the
promise of instant gratification in another key spending category:
food.
Uber released a new standalone application this week for ordering meals from a broad range of restaurants in select U.S. cities, including Houston, Chicago and San Francisco.
Uber's decision to launch a full-blown app for UberEats, only its
second standalone app for consumers, comes after more than a year of testing a scaled-down version
of the service in select markets.
The move suggests Uber believes meal deliveries could be its next billion-dollar business after car rides.
Through the app, Uber is also providing deliveries from "hundreds" of restaurants that might take 30 to 40 minutes, or more.
Would you use UberEats if it were available in SA?
