Overview
Proving that causing the internet to lose its mind by delivering adorable puppies to offices around Australia is simply not enough for them, Uber has moved yet another step closer to total world domination. The ridesharing service will launch UberEATS in Sydney today, Tuesday, July 26 at 11am. Because who needs multiple apps when you can use one for just about everything?
Melbourne was the first city in Australia to be bestowed the food delivery platform back in April, and now Sydney can start using the standalone food delivery app too. It basically allows restaurants to get their food delivered to customers between 11am and 10pm by a wide access of ever-available drivers — much like (and in direct competition to) other food delivery apps like Foodora/Suppertime, Deliveroo and Menulog. The list of Sydney restaurants exceeds 100, including the likes of Butter, Three Blue Ducks, Guilty, Waterman's Lobster Co. and Fratelli Fresh. Oh, and delivery will be free for the launch. So you only have to pay the cost of your box of fried chicken, and not a cent more.
UberEATS launched in select US cities last year, allowing users to order lunch or dinner from an ever-shifting menu that includes options from a number of different restaurants. Sydney's UberEATS service will be available in the inner suburbs only, from Bondi to Surry Hills and Pyrmont to Newtown and all the suburbs inside that area.
You can download the UberEATS app here from 11am. For all the details, visit ubereats.com/sydney.
