How Uber Eats compares with Postmates, Grubhub and DoorDash.
The ride-hailing giant announced plans to start testing the first-ever food delivery via drone and will roll out the service this summer for a price comparable to what diners pay for Uber Eats, Bloomberg reported.
Uber Eats reported revenue of $1.5 billion in 2018, almost 150% higher than in 2017. Uber Elevate is still waiting for FAA approval, however, it will reportedly release its own drone this year that will reach up to a speed of 70 mph. . MarketWatch ordered the same meal to be delivered to the same location on four different delivery apps in New York City and found a $7.76 difference between the cheapest and most expensive options. UberEats was the cheapest.
The company, which started in the 1990s, has already made changes to the physical layout of its stores, providing more space for pickup orders and implementing more parking for delivery drivers. Matt Sheppard, COO of mini chain Hummus & Pita Co., said delivery apps have been helpful for luring customers, but he plans to ultimately direct customers to its own proprietary delivery app and website. He will sweeten the deal on his own app with a reward program.
