the car haing service will soon have a
spin-off app just for meal delivery
service across several US cities Uber
Eats which is currently accessible
within the Uber app offers selections
from local restaurants in Los Angeles
New York Atlanta and others The Wall
Street Journal reports that by the end
of March Uber Eats is going to spin off
into its own dedicated app Uber began
offering a lunchtime only service in a
dozen cities last year in the coming
weeks Uber Eats will expand to include
the full menus from dozens of local
restaurants Uber has been testing the
app for over a month in Toronto which
expanded meal delivery service with more
than 100 restaurants there customers
could order from 10:00 a.m. to 10: p.m.
and have their food delivered within 30
to 40 minutes delivering the food will
pose a challenge to Uber drivers who
will have to get out of their cars to
pick up the food quickly move to their
drop off locations and then wait until
customers appear at the curb when
customers place an order Uber will send
the details to the restaurant and
estimate how long it takes to prepare
and then locate a driver near the
restaurant when multiple customers order
Uber plans to Bunch orders together Uber
eat will be entering a competitive
delivery space going up against
Postmates seamless and door Dash but
there's no guarantee of success The Wall
Street Journal reported earlier this
week that door Dash which had sought a$1
billion valuation is expected to command
a lower valuation in its next round of
funding
