UberEATS is an on-demand meal delivery service powered by the Uber app. It is one of the first expansion products by Uber Technologies Inc. from its black-car service roots to what it calls an “urban logistics fabric” — a network of hundreds of thousands of drivers able to deliver not just a ride but any item within a few minutes. The model partners with top local restaurants in each city available directly from same Uber app with a delivery time of under 10 minutes.

Uber Technologies Inc had its first foray into food delivery in August 2014 with the launch UberFRESH in Santa Monica. In April 2015, Uber renamed its UberFRESH program as UberEATS and expanded the service to include Barcelona, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City.

Since then, UberEATS has continued with its expansion plan, with rolling launches throughout second half of 2015 in Toronto, San Francisco, Austin, Washington D.C and Atlanta

The operations model is to feature top restaurants within each city, offering  a curated menu daily that is delivered instantly. The menu is constantly changing with new restaurants being added to list as the company grows.
