Uber Eats is an online food ordering and delivery platform launched by the company Uber in 2014.[4] The meals are delivered by couriers using various methods, including cars, scooters, bikes, or on foot.[5] It is operational in over 6,000 cities in 45 countries as of 2021.[6]

The process of delivering food is carried out by Uber drivers. In places where Uber Eats is offered, Uber will collaborate with restaurants every day to serve meals to its passengers.[7] In 2020, the company was sued 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 the Uber Eats app, along with charging fees of 13–40% of revenue.
