The app is currently available in some particular cities, offers long hours that is 10:00 am to 10 pm, and customers can order food from over 100 restaurants. But will Uber will be successful on delivery business? First of all Uber not the first company on delivery business. UberEATS will struggle to stay alive against delivery.com, Seamless and GrubHub. And orders under 10 minutes or less is not too realistic, can’t be done all the time. Uber need to focus on their real problem with their car sharing business. There are many lawsuits they are facing -Uber on Friday sent all its drivers nationwide a new, 21-page legal agreements – , and new car sharing companies are entering the market Lyft is getting stronger. They should be more focus on their primary business.
