Uber delivers food in Bangkok
If you want to get the food you want from the restaurants you love, all from the comfort of your own home, Uber is now offering its first stand-alone food delivery app that lets you order grub the same way you order wheels. UberEats currently allows people to order food from 100 restaurants covering 24 cuisines. Users can track their orders from the moment they are placed until the second they arrive at their doors. “This app offers a window into what the future competition in the food delivery industry could look like,” said Allen Penn, regional general manager for Asia-Pacific of UberEats, a business unit of US-based Uber Technologies Inc. There are several key food delivery players in Thailand such as Berlin-based Foodpanda, Tokyo-based Line Man and Singapore-based GrabEat. With UberEats, customers can download the food delivery app and get a meal delivered in 30-45 minutes.
