Since its very beginning, the original taxicab app has turned into one of the most controversial ones in the world, as professional drivers have protested against it and even gotten it banned in a few places, including France - now, as countries regulate the app in its taxi mode, they're launching a Uber food delivery service.
As time goes on, more and more restaurants (particularly when it comes to fast food) are launching their own delivery or takeout services in a way to entice those customers that don't have the time to order and stay, but the Uber food delivery service could make a run for their money.
According to Paste Magazine, there are actually two Uber food delivery service branches, UberEats and UberFresh, both of which offer delivery for lunch and dinner - with the interesting advantage that the meal will reach your home in 10 minutes or less.
In the Los Angeles area, there's also an option for brunch delivery.
The Huffington Post reports that the Uber food delivery services have curated a list of different dishes from a number of selected restaurants, and the options should change every week, as UberFresh and UberEats work with Plateselector food guide, namely with the restaurant choices already in their lists.
There's no need for further downloading to reach the Uber food delivery service, as there's now an option on the very same app that can show users the current selection of weekly plates.
The Guardian reports that, contrary to popular belief, Uber doesn't really present itself as a taxicab company but rather a logistics one, so it makes more sense that they're going into the delivery business.
The first two steps in this new market were UberFresh in the Los Angeles area and most recently UberEats in Barcelona, Spain - though these are probably test markets and the Uber food delivery could be available in a range of new locations soon.
