Uber is the conglomerate that just wants to keep growing. Their various levels of “ridesharing” services can be found just about everywhere in the world and now they need to branch out. Of course where better to do this than with a food delivery service. Because.No.One.Else.Is.Doing.It.
Actually the idea sort of makes sense. They already have idle drivers out on the road and they have infrastructure built to handle these sorts of things as well. Unfortunately that is where it stops making sense. Being a driver who takes someone from “Point A” to “Point B” is different then getting food and delivering it. I have found that out the hard way.
The goal of UberEats is to provide people with access to the food they want, from the local restaurants they love, “delivered at Uber speed” with their two different food delivery program: regular UberEats and Instant Delivery.
The regular UberEats delivery program is similar to most other food delivery services, in that you can order from the full menu of any local restaurant they are partnered with, make any substitutions or special requests the way you normally would, and order it delivered directly to your door or office.
The Instant Delivery program is a little different. This service is available Monday through Friday, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, and is designed to be an “instant” option, as their partner restaurants will provide pre-cooked meals to Uber drivers which can be quickly and easily chosen from a limited menu and then delivered to you much quicker than a traditional order could be.
While their regular delivery service takes an average of 35 minutes from the time of order to the time of delivery, the website says that Instant Delivery can be delivered in just ten minutes on average. And, as with all Uber services, your driver can be reviewed and rated on their mobile application.
