Summary
Uber Eats, an online food ordering and delivery platform, was launched by its parent company Uber in August 2014, initially as UberFRESH. It has since grown into a global service, operating in over 6,000 cities across 45 countries, with couriers utilizing various modes of transport including cars, scooters, bikes, and on foot. While collaborating with numerous restaurants, Uber Eats is currently embroiled in an antitrust lawsuit concerning alleged price manipulation due to requirements for consistent pricing between delivery and dine-in options, alongside significant service fees ranging from 13% to 40% of revenue. Despite these challenges, Uber's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, emphasizes Uber Eats' role in the company's broader urban mobility strategy, highlighting its innovation in areas such as sidewalk robots and drone delivery.

View on DBPediaUber Eats is an online food ordering and delivery platform launched by Uber in 2014. Meals are delivered by couriers using cars, scooters, bikes, or on foot. It is operational in over 6,000 cities across 45 countries. The process of delivering food is still carried out by Uber drivers, who often only need a few minutes to finish a single service. In places where UberEats is offered, Uber will collaborate with multiple restaurants every day to serve meals to its passengers. The company is facing a lawsuit for antitrust price manipulation, from forcing restaurants to charge the same price for delivery as for dine-in if the restaurant wants to be listed on UberEats' app, along with charging fees of 13–40% of revenue.
