UberEats, now available in San Francisco, lets users order meals from local restaurants and have them delivered to their door.

Toronto and Los Angeles residents are the first lucky souls to be able to use it, though Uber has confirmed plans to expand to Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Melbourne, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.at some point in the future.
The food delivery market just got more crowded with the launch Tuesday morning of a new on-demand meal app by Uber. With a fairly large fleet of drivers already out on the road, it would have made sense for Uber to offer something like UberEats as drivers could simply pick up and deliver the food requested to the person who wanted to place an order. This is mostly due to the over regulation that impedes Uber in most areas – something the tech company has been combating in recent years – with more and more success overall.
The UberEATS app will offer food delivery in Chicago from 8 a.m. until midnight, 7 days a week. Now, with the standalone UberEATS app, you can find and order the food you love and follow along on your phone as it comes right to you. The standalone UberEats app is now available on Android and iOS, and deliveries have begun in select cities, with more to come in the next couple of weeks.
Uber learned quickly that getting a ride and ordering a bit to eat – are two different experiences in every facet of their nature.
UberEats was previously an option in Uber’s main app and the option was only available to users in cities where the company was offering this service.

“In the same way Uber makes it easy to get from A to B, UberEats makes it easy to get food from the best restaurants in your city”, Jason Droege, head of UberEverything, wrote in a statement.
