After the huge success of Uber worldwide, Uber wanted to launch a successful branch of the franchise in the hospitality sector combining it with the already existing ride business. This idea materialized in the form of Uber Eats. Uber eats is the service from Uber that lets you order food online and get it delivered to your doorstep.
