Jan 20 (Reuters) - Ride-hailing company Uber Technologies
Inc UBER.UL will launch a standalone meal delivery service
app, "UberEATS", in select U.S. cities in the coming weeks, a
company spokeswoman said.
The UberEATS app, already available for over a month in
Toronto, Canada, will launch in 10 cities including New York,
Los Angeles and Chicago.
The company's UberEATS service, a feature within the Uber
ride-hailing app, currently provides a limited curated menu,
Uber spokeswoman told Reuters.
The new app will allow customers to order from other
restaurants and the meals will be delivered by Uber drivers.
The app will be available on devices that run on Apple Inc's
AAPL.O iOS and Alphabet Inc's GOOGL.O Android.
The move will pit Uber against GrubHub Inc GRUB.N ,
Postmates Inc and DoorDash Inc in the intensely competitive food
delivery business.
The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal on
Wednesday. (http://on.wsj.com/1Qf5v7A)
