Uber is finally making headlines for something excellent – or at least, something non-violent. Beginning today, Uber is unveiling its own meals shipping service in New York. (In light of recent, um, events and/or information headlines, I can not aid but consider the ‘stranger risk’ cautions from my parents concerning not getting involved in a complete stranger’s car – even if they had candy.)

Called UberEATS, the brand-new solution will certainly offer 10 minutes-or-less shipment from a revolving option of 2 different dining establishments, daily. Launching in New york city City and Chicago today (Tuesday, April 28) after pilot programs in Spain and also California, the idea is quite simple. Starving, careless folks will certainly manage to get either trademark recipes from regional dining establishments, which will alter daily. Meals will normally range from $9 to $13, and as kept in mind prior to, you could anticipated your dish provided within 10 minutes.

So basically, the service is cutting out the intermediary – Seamless – and also assuring a quicker turn-around time. It does not supply the very same big and also vast selection of the meals conglomerate, as well as in New York, UberEATS will just render from 14th Street to 40th Road in Manhattan. So, I presume only the trolls working and also living in Times Square can profit of this deal.

Oh, and there’s a $4 distribution fee.

Okay, so it has some kinks to function out. Like, just how will we understand if an Uber vehicle driver is on shipment obligation, or pick-up task? And will certainly shipping Uber motorists be sexually bothering ladies, as well?

I assumption there’s a great deal to locate out. For me, I assume I’ll proceed bringing my lunch to work.
