Nowadays, food delivery apps are emerging as a new business idea. In today’s busy life, these are really effective. Uber, the international taxi hailing service has now ventured into the food delivery sector. Uber has named its app UberEATS. This app has already made its presence globally. In Chennai, UberEATS started its operation launched on 12 October. This app will make the food deliver easily at doorstep in Chennai.
Bhavik Rathod, head of UberEATS, said that over 200 odd restaurants in Nungambakkam, T Nagar, Adyar, Besant Nagar, Thiruvanmiyur, Mylapore, Alwarpet and Royapettah come together to deliver warm, fresh food straight to your doorstep. This application also learns your behaviour and throws up options based on that.
UberEATS food delivery app was first launched this app in Toronto in December 2015. This app is now available in 29 countries and 130 cities around the globe. Talking about India, UberEATS was first launched in Mumbai in May 2017. Now, it is available in Delhi, Gurugram and Bengaluru as well.
Why is UberEATS better?
This app uses high-technology. Tracking order with this app is unparalleled. It completes an order on time.
This app understands the needs of buyers and offers restaurants as per their need. Like, if someone orders Dosa continuously for two days in breakfast then this app automatically suggests new restaurants for same dish.
The best thing is the delivery charge. It charges only ₹1 per order irrespective of the number of items you order.
UberEATS in India
This app was already launched two years before coming to India. Uber is quite positive about Indian market. During the launch of UberEATS application at Mumbai, the team claims to deliver convenience, reliability, and a wide selection.
“With our data and technology, we can provide our restaurant partners the future capability to even start their own internet kitchens,” says Bhavik.
“When you open the app, the interface is different for you from the next person. The focus is based on location, popularity, and price points. For India, there is focus even on dietary needs,” says Karthik Murthy, Product Manager, International, UberEATS .
As per Uber officials, this app works through all the challenges related to logistics, location reach and traffic.
To enjoy privilege over the competitors, Uber allows users to place their offers much ahead of its delivery. It means you can schedule your order for later so that you do not have to worry about the timings, which is a unique feature not seen in other service apps. UberEATS’ launch partner is PayTM and you can pay directly via the payments app. Also, you can live track your orders.
