This week Uber’s food delivery service, UberEATS, is expanding to Chicago and New York City, after pilot programs in Los Angeles and Barcelona were hailed as a success. Users can order food from the existing Uber app, which has a daily menu featuring items from “popular, iconic restaurants” in the area.
Unlike other delivery services, UberEATS will only bring the ordered meal to “the curbside” and not to your door. Consistent with the company’s policy of flat fares, all meals come with the same delivery fee in each city—$4 in NYC, $3 in Chicago.
The drawback is that delivery is only available in certain parts of the city—between 40th Street and 14th Street in NYC, and in Loop and River North in Chicago.
