Uber has revolutionized the way we travel and now they are doing the same with food delivery.

UberEATS a new on-demand food delivery app powered by Uber, and went live on Thursday 29 September, in Johannesburg.  It will allow users to order food from a selection of restaurants that are up to 3.5km away. They hope to take 35 minutes from start to finish to deliver meals using their existing UberX vehicles.

The UberEATS app can be downloaded from the app store or through the Uber rides app,  and meals can be requested for delivery in Northern Johannesburg from 7am to 10pm, seven days a week with a R20 delivery fee. They expect to extend the service to Midrand and Pretoria by the end of the year and Cape Town next year.

UberEats launched in Toronto‚ Canada‚ in December last year and has since branched into four continents and more than 22 cities.

There’s no minimum order size,  but every order includes a delivery fee of R20 (the same as the minimum fare for an UberX).
